Very pricey, but I need this gem in my life. I'll take this over a C8 no questions asked.

Cool car but at my age I'm still spoiled on these 8 and 10 speed Autos. I used to be a guy like you and love the stick cars. Its a really sick Caddy either way.

I hear you man, I may go auto someday when I have kids, but it's still so much fun. In a mid sized luxury sedan, it would be unreal and probably more fun than my LT1 camaro, with room for 5 comfortably. If I hit the Lotto, I will buy one.

Over 50 hear, had manuals with kids and now without kids. Kids are not a reason to go auto or not imho.

It is very funny to me how people complain about EV but drive autos. Same bucket to me.

So an EV is perfect for you.

ok, let me explain (in my view) - it starts with (the masses), I ain't shifting no more then evolves into I ain't stopping for fuel no more

Those 2 cars as shown were

5 = $110,000
4= $75,000

Far more practical than the C8, and better suited to avoiding looking like owner is having a mid-life crisis.

Very tempted

Easy for me to say manual 4life, but I’m only driving it on weekends and w/o traffic.

Very cool, all I have to do now is sell my house to buy one.

You missed my point. It starts with one thing then evolves into people just want to get there. TO me you are somewhere in-between

I'll disagree with that. Also living just outside of Chicago, I could see someone skipping a manual for a daily because of the traffic. When it can take you an well over hour to go 3 or 4 miles shifting gets old real quick. At 430 on EB 290, the speed limit may be 55 but you will be lucky to hit 20 lol

If you want one just wait a year or two to find a used one and save a lot of money!

Yep, usually with very low miles.

Again, perfect situation for a EV. And a good portion of their argument.
