I just wish my Cruze would stop leaking fucking coolant. I think it's the turbo hose. Other than the coolant leaks it hasn't been a horrid car honestly. I'm at least smart enough to check my levels if I smell coolant or see it which I suspect an average consumer isn't and in the end that leads to a lot of head gaskets. There was obviously the turbo oil lines coking up as well.Volts and bolts paid for at least half that Tesla. Equinoxes and cruzes paid for my house and everything else
I really should throw HPT on it and get someone to do some tuning to it, but honestly I just leave it be because other than the coolant it's been minimal drama.
I would say fairly that this has been an EXTREMELY mixed bag from a historical perspective. They saw a huge amount of success doing this with the Seville (it was an X-body Nova, but had huge amounts of tweaking to make it a Cadillac including a lot of what I would argue was leading edge technology) while the Cimmaron was an utter disaster as was the 8-6-4.So they’re going to put the equinox team on the Corvette SUV and call it a day? They’re not capable of making a performamce SUV because they make pedestrian cars under their mainstream brand? That makes zero sense. These are going to be brand new EV’s built for performance. Has nothing to do with any current Chevrolet.
When they invented what would become the Eldorados they first made the Olds Toronado to work the bugs out first since they weren't sure about its efficacy. I really wonder if they should go that route and save the reputation of the Cadillac brand.
