Sorry to hear about your ego trip, Tony! 😉 But I've admired the XT5 for some time and really like the color of yours. 

Is that the same 3.6 L/308 HP V6 I have in my Blazer RS? I love the drivetrain!

LOL!  Me too John. And you can see the 'junk' I haul looking out the front window in the 2nd shot. HA!!  Yes, the 3.6L is the same. It produces 310HP on the Cad but is the same engine; 24 valve dual overhead cams.

I didn't realize that the Blazer RS had such a powerful drive train!  That should be a hoot to drive!

@jack-dodds, it is! It's a bit heavier than your Caddy and Tony's, but it has a towing package and is geared lower. It's a blast!

Tony, that's a beautiful (and rare ) XT5 color! 😎 😎  I love it!!   Also, those larger rims really help to make it POP.   Your "Camaro drive-line"  is also nice. I opted for the Turbo-4 in my AWD ATS Coupe.  I don't really drive it, but when I do... I can eek out almost 35mpg. Not bad considering it's almost 300hp. My wife's non-Turbo 3.0 is just OK. 

I should also note that 1/18 diecast replicas of YOUR XT5 (and all the new Cadillacs ) are available. You like models, right?  😏 😏 😏  I have several, but not of yours.  Again, GREAT color...I really do love it... and CONGRATULATIONS. 😎 😎

Don't feel bad George. I've been banned from Instagram  forever. I've been suspended & threatened on YouTube,  and have been reprimanded several times on Facebook.  You must learn to walk "in between the lines."  

On these Forums I pick & choose my battles....and even then, I've learned to keep my big fat mouth shut! 

Don't worry about it. Life goes on....we never stop learning! 🙄 🤔

Chris, thank you sir! I LOVE the ATS and with the turbo I-4 you lose almost no performance while gaining great economy! I've seen model XT5's in 1/32 and 1/18th scale but none in Silver Coast. I might get the white 1?18th that also has the Sahara Beige interior like mine has. TERRIFIC model lineup there!

Thinking about it, I'm going to go stand in a corner and not post for awhile.  Seems in our world today, just saying good morning, we can end up with our foot in our mouths.  Every one is way to sensitive and get's sideways with everything.  See you after my punishment/sentence is over. 

   Shut Mouth  

LOL! George, you're entitled to your opinion and I know your references to the car, etc., were purely generic and not ever meant to hurt anyone's feelings.  Please STAY OUT of the corner!!      Cool

It is an interesting Lincoln concept. Many cars were imagined as possible "full-range" series.
