Doug, did you have to drive that perfectly clean caddy through dirt/gravel for the shot?

James Blazes18 שעות לפני

The 89' Eldorado had a completely digital gauge cluster - no overlays - only pure 80's digital green screen. I'm very surprised their flagship car built 4 years later had worse aesthetics

GM's management is hilariously stupid and slow. No wonder this car was a failure. The only concession I'm going to make is that when you drive it, I'm amazed the convertible top is superb. it doesn't let light in every corner and doesn't make flapping/rattling noises. I'm amazed that for an old car, the top is in pretty decent shape.

And they finally put in a Northstar which turned out to be the most poorly designed engine in the world. That is after the 4100 series, which begged customers to never buy another Cadillac again and avoid the Northstar fiasco completely. And so they didn't. I didn't. The 4100 had to be floored just to leave the driveway and taught me to never buy another Caddy even though my family was a Caddy family. That ended it.

In late 1980's early 90's this car would have cost you about 60k, that's about 100k in today's money. Think about that. And ask yourself what are you really buying when you buy a new 2019-2020 vehicle for 30-50k....what corners did they cut to make the vehicle that affordable in today's money? A question for all you true car guys out there. What was the best decade for automobiles where all things were met. Build quality, technology (for the time) , safety and over convenience and refinement? For me I think anything america made 40'-70's were a class act especially 50's 60's but car weren't exactly crash safe back then. So if I were to pick my guess would be somewhere floating around between mid/late 70's up until the mid 90's What do you guys think?

I'm going to go ahead and say it.... Ferrari designers designing a Cadillac with gold keys and a digital gauge cluster in THE 80S that has to get flown on a custom airplane from Italy to Detroit Is one of the coolest damn things I've ever heard. I think if this was a brand Doug liked more he wouldn't gloss over those things as silly.

When Cadillac made good looking cars....... The window switches and other blind controls on the passenger side, were made for UK maybe. ;) Oh, one can see the mechanism of the roof top. You will not find it in the expensive SL, XJS or 911 and other European convertibles. The mechanism is hidden with an inner lining.

Still waiting on you to apologize for your BS Hummer review. Did you get paid off? You said at more than $100,000 the Hummer is the electric truck to beat? You said at 350 mile range, the Hummer is the electric truck to beat? You said with an unknown tow rating, the Hummer is the electric truck to beat? You said with no charging network, the Hummer is the electric truck to beat. Thiiiiis is now a BS channel.

Funny you say this type of review doesn't do so well. I've yet to watch any of your current model reviews. Maybe they're good but your insights on the time and rationale of the designs is awesome and brings perspective I had no idea about. Like these cars were air cargoed across the world is mind boggling. In fact, the DougScore using current standards feels like a betrayal but as long as you're being consistent it doesn't matter. More of these please, and please do a playlist of just these. Funnily enough, YT algorithm only recommends the older ones, not current model reviews. To find these among your other reviews is not easy. But keep up the good work.
