#213 2020 Cadillac XT6 First Impressions; Why Are Wagons Going Away?

Talking Cars (Video) - Un pódcast de Consumer Reports - Miercoles

Categorías:

We just bought a 2020 Cadillac XT6 for testing at the track, and we give our first impressions on the midsized SUV, including how it stacks up against other 3-row competitors (including its big brother, the Escalade.) Volkswagen has ended production on some of the last station wagons in the US market, the Golf Alltrack and SportWagen; we analyze why many wagons are being discontinued, and what they are being replaced with. We also answer audience questions about the ideal driving conditions for a dual-clutch transmission, the use of advanced safety features in inclement weather, and why you might see a lot of soot on the tailpipe of a direct injection turbo.     ----------------------------------- Have a question for our experts?
