4.4 and 682? Oh, I thought that was MPG and cost to fill up...or is it?

 

[wemay]

You're probably right! Lol

If you can afford a $150,000.00 vehicle would it matter?

The whiniest group I have seen on fuel prices drive large SUV's and full-size trucks that cost $80k+ to cart a family of 1-4 around or a bed full of air

Really cool niche vehicle.

Who is buying a $150k Caddy? I'm not saying it won't sell but I am saying it shouldn't sell.

2023 Cadillac Gluttonymobile. But it's not alone in the market. I have to admit I envy people who don't even blink at that window sticker, but if I was one of those people, that is not what I would buy.

 

[JavierH19]

Yeah I'm not paying $150,000 for the short wheel base version of my 2021 Escalade with a supercharger on its 6.2 and some extra knick knacks.

$150,000 that's unjust. My long wheel base premium luxury starts at 88k and that's far enough.

 

[fisher83]

$150k is a lot of coin for a depreciating asset. Yuck.

Goog God, it's ugly!

 

[MrHorspwer]

Why not?

Ram will sell you a $100,000 1/2 ton pickup
Ford and Ram will sell you a $100,000 1 ton pickup
Cadillac, Lincoln, and Jeep will sell you a $100,000 SUV

It's the next step in the accelerating trend of nosebleed pricing on high trim trucks and SUVs.

Give it a year and Stellantis will be making a Grand Wagoneer Trackhawk with a Hellcat engine and selling it for $150k. I'm actually surprised they haven't already.

If I could afford that much for a vehicle it wouldn’t be on a Cadillac.

They dont need the Hellcat.....they have the new Hurricane 6.

While everyone else is slimming down and looking sleek, GM keeps going the other way.

 

[ArrestMeRedZ]

Who will be buying them? Well, every one of you in the US will sure be paying for them.
I'm sure the USG will have quite a few of them.

 

[DwightFrye]

Will it still handle like a pig on stilts and have the build quality of a 1980's GM vehicle ?
I'll bet it will be popular with rappers.

Yes, it will handle like a pig. But hey, 0-60!
And 150k for bloated Tahoe?

 

[Barkleymut]

I have never paid over $30k for a vehicle...doubt I ever will. I'm sure this is as fast as a rocket, but $150k for any vehicle is crazy.

Just my opinion, this is America...do what ya want!

Agree, but there is nothing more gluttonous than some of the big MB SUVs.

This represents the last hurrah of the over-the-top fossil-fuel powered vehicle era...they will be taxed, regulated, outlawed out of existence soon as the Green New Deal-California-ization spreads globally. By the 2030-2040 time frame you will only see such 'beasts' in a museum.
