Okay, if it helps everyone to blame the Canuck who started this, blame me, but let's not start another blue versus red civil war. This thread was originally about the reliability of the LT4 engine until it went down a "whether or not there will be a 2026 Blackwing at all" rabbit-hole which led...

Thanks for this post. And with that, this it to say that I need to get back on track myself, especially as I am the kind of forum member who complains when these threads go off on long political tangents. So, my deepest Canadian apologies for the distraction, and, yes, stop worrying about the...

Mexico only, even though there is no issue at the Canadian border. So now it's just us Canadians, at least in North America (not counting Greenland) who have to have to hold their breath and see what happens. Great way to maintain friendly relations with allies.

The danger is that he wants to raise tariffs by enormous 19th century amounts to raise money for a tax cut, which is economically stupid. But this way to raise revenue is a bizarre obsession of Trump's, and I think he doesn't want to come right out and say it because tax cuts for the rich...

Back and forth six times or more: Take the U.S. auto industry, which is really a North American industry because supply chains in the three countries are highly integrated. In 2024 Canada supplied almost 13% of U.S. imports of auto parts and Mexico nearly 42%. Industry experts say a vehicle...

Too bad the Chinese market CT5 Isn’t built (ahem) here in North America as it’s a huge seller in China: https://www.gminsidenews.com/threads/cadillac-ct5-hits-200-000-sales-in-china.307629/

P.S. Chinese CT5s don’t count! (Have to clarify that as I think they’re still even building CT6s over there.)

Give me odds by making me pay in Canadian if I’m wrong, which isn’t so bad for you because if I’m wrong, the Canadian dollar will go up. :)

If GM needs to choose between building a low volume sedan without a future and a pickup truck that was formerly built in Ontario or Mexico at an under-utilized plant in Michigan, what do you think they’ll decide to do? I won’t get into the weeds of the pros and cons of the tariff “policy” (my...

If I’m right I could use the $50 (U.S., please!) and if I’m wrong I’ll still be holding my breath for the next crazy, dangerous announcement from south of the border, so I’ll pass on that. Meantime you might want to save your money too as the prices of cars is about to go up in the US unless the...

All bets that there will be an ‘26 are off with the tariffs being implemented on Tuesday. All cars built in North America contain numerous parts and raw materials (steel, aluminum, oil and petroleum products) that have crossed either or both the Mexican and Canadian border before they are...

Absolutely, and so well said. Also, if I might add about “if it breaks, fix it”, that it comes with a long and decent powertrain warranty. Which means you don’t have to worry about the cost of fixing it for longer than most of us are likely to own it in any event. And if the engine holds out...

Very nice! How many ducats and how difficult was installation, if I might ask?

I watched his video until it put me to sleep.

Unnecessary and overkill. Toyota, GM, etc. have no interest in increasing warranty claims. Conspiracy nonsense that defies common sense.

Were your red belts part of the package with the premium seats? E.g., my gold belts were part of the tan seats' package that came with my '24, while the red belts were an option on my '22, which had the base seats and so came with red seats at the four corners but a black belt in the middle of...

Arguably not necessary/overkill but I promise not to argue about it! :)

Don’t be intimidated. It has gobs and gobs of torque so that if you want you can cruise around at low rpm with plenty of power available but easy to control. You’ll need to keep the revs low anyway during break-in, and you’ll find it’s not scary at all when you drive it that way. It is a luxury...

Curious what that is too, as the CT5 also makes that kind of cool but mysterious Transformer sound.
