In the world of ugly crossovers, I'd take the FX over the X6 or Lexus' offerings.

So, I read this morning that Cadillac wants to create a new image in the luxury market & will do so by renaming all their vehicles to CT4, CT5, CT6, & so forth.


Are they retarded? Did they just not finish establishing themselves as an automaker to take more seriously now that the old man image was gone?

It's at a gas station, so I'm wagering a 50/50 guess this dude wasn't paying attention or the car literally had an issue just at that moment.

That looks like it's in Caledon, about 45 minutes north of Toronto.

Crazy, . It must've happened while he was actually filling up, since the gas nozzle seems to have been tossed to the side.

When you have a car like that, it automatically comes with a complementary pair of big boobs.
