IX. The Correction of FearYou believe that being afraid is involuntary. 2But I have told you many times that only constructive acts should be involuntary.105 3I said that Christ-control can take over everything that doesn’t matter, and Christ-guidance can direct everything that does, if you so will.1062 Fear cannot be Christ-controlled, but it can be self-controlled. 2Fear is always associated with what does not matter, and prevents me from controlling it. 3The correction is therefore a matter of your will, because its presence shows that you have raised the unimportant to a higher level than it warrants. 4You have thus brought it under your will, where it does not belong. 5This means you feel responsible for it. 6The level confusion here is perfectly obvious. 7The reason that I cannot control fear for you is that you are attempting to raise to the mind level the proper content of lower-order “reality.”107 8I do not foster level confusion, but you can will to correct it.3 You would not tolerate insane behavior on your part, and would hardly advance the excuse that you could not help it. 2Why should you tolerate insane thinking? 3There is a fallacy here you would do well to look at clearly. 4You believe that you are responsible for what you do but not for what you think. 5The truth is that you are responsible for what you think, because it is only at this level that you can exercise choice. 6What you do comes from what you think. 7You cannot separate the two by giving autonomy to your behavior. 8Behavior is controlled by me automatically as soon as you place what you think under my guidance.4 Whenever you are afraid, it is a sure sign that you have allowed your mind to miscreate; that is, you have not allowed me to guide it. 2It is pointless to believe that controlling the outcome of misthought can result in real healing. 3When you are fearful, you have willed wrongly. 4This is why you feel you are responsible for it. 5You must change your mind, not your behavior, and this is a matter of will. 6You do not need guidance except at the mind level. 7Correction belongs only at the level where causation is possible. 8The term does not really mean anything at the symptom level, where it cannot work.5 The correction of fear is your responsibility. 2When you ask for release from fear, you are implying that it isn’t. 3You should ask, instead, for help in the conditions which have brought the fear about. 4This always entails a willingness on the part of your separated mind. 5At this level, you can help it. 6You are much too tolerant of mind wandering, thus tacitly condoning your mind’s miscreations. 7The particular result never matters, but this fundamental error does. 8The fundamental correction is always the same. 9Before you will to do anything, ask me if your will is in accord with mine. 10If you are sure that it is, there will be no fear.6 Fear is always a sign of strain, which arises whenever the will to do conflicts with what you do. 2This situation arises in two major ways:1. 3You can will to do conflicting things, either simultaneously or successively.108 4This produces conflicting behavior, which would be tolerable to the self (though not necessarily to others) except for the fact that the part of the will that wants something else is outraged.2. 5You can behave as you think you should, without entirely willing to do so. 6This produces consistent behavior, but entails great strain within the self.7 If you think about it, you will realize that in both cases the will and the behavior are out of accord, resulting in a situation in which you are doing what you do not will. 2This arouses a sense of coercion, which usually produces rage. 3The anger then invades the mind, and projection in the wrong sense becomes likely.109 4Depression or anxiety is virtually certain.8 Remember that whenever there is fear, it is because you have not made up your mind. 2Your will is split, and your behavior inevitably becomes erratic. 3Correcting at the behavioral level can shift the error from the first type to the second, but will not obliterate the fear. 4It is possible to reach a state in which you bring your will under my guidance without much conscious effort, but this implies the kind of habit pattern which you have not developed dependably as yet.9 Although people say that God will never ask you to do more than you can, they do not understand it themselves. 2God cannot ask more than you will. 3The strength to do comes from your own undivided will to do.110 4There is no strain in doing God’s will as soon as it is also your own.10 The lesson here is quite simple, but particularly apt to be overlooked. 2I will therefore repeat it, urging you to listen. 3Only your mind can produce fear. 4It does so whenever it is conflicted in what it wills, thus producing inevitable strain because willing and doing become discordant.111 5This cannot be corrected by better doing. 6But it can be corrected by higher willing.11 The first corrective step is knowing it is fear. 2After taking this step, you might benefit temporarily by adding another step before going on with the corrective process: Try saying to yourself that you must have willed not to love somehow or somewhere, or the fear which arises from behavior-will conflict could not have happened. 3Then follow the previous instructions.11212 If you consider what the process really means, it is nothing more than a series of pragmatic steps in the larger process of accepting the Atonement as the remedy. 2From this viewpoint, the steps can be reworded as follows:1. 3Know first this is fear.2. 4Fear arises from lack of love.3. 5The only remedy for lack of love is perfect love.4. 6Perfect love is the Atonement.7The final procedural step is inherent in the last statement.113 8We have emphasized that the miracle, or the expression of Atonement, is always a sign of real respect from the worthy to the worthy.114 9This worth is reestablished by the Atonement.13 It is obvious, then, that when you are afraid, you have placed yourself in a position where you need Atonement because you have done something loveless, having willed without love. 2This is precisely the situation for which the Atonement was offered. 3The need for the remedy inspired its establishment. 4As long as you recognize only the need for the remedy, you will remain fearful. 5However, as soon as you use the remedy, you have also abolished the fear. 6This is how true healing occurs.14 It may help if you say this prayer to me:2I would like to pray that my will be united with thine, recognizing that thy perfect love will suffice (or correct) for my imperfect love.3I pray that I may accept the Atonement with conviction, recognizing its inestimable worth, and my own divine worth as part of this identification with thine.4I pray that my fear be replaced by an active sense of thy love, and thy continual willingness to help me overcome the split or divided will which is responsible for my difficulty with this.5I accept the divinity of the messages I have received,115 and affirm my will in both accepting and acting upon the Atonement principle.6Here I am.15 The major problem that you have is the continuing split will, which naturally interferes with your true identification. 2To the extent that you hold onto this split, it will take longer to get through and will markedly interfere with your own integration efforts. 3Reliance has to be placed on me, which is sufficient once you do this without distantiation or division in loyalties. 4This will be strengthened through a continual affirmation of the goal you want to achieve and an awareness of its inevitability. 5In this way, you will perceive and know your true worth, and the importance of maintaining a complete identification.
V. The Atonement as DefenseThe Atonement is the only defense which cannot be used destructively. 2That is because, while everyone must eventually join it, it was not a device which was generated by humanity. 3The Atonement principle was in effect long before the Atonement itself was begun. 4The principle was love, and the Atonement itself was an act of love.75 5Acts were not necessary before the separation, because the time-space belief did not exist.2 It was only after the separation that the defense of Atonement and the necessary conditions for its fulfillment were planned. 2It became increasingly apparent that all of the defenses which humanity can choose to use constructively or destructively were not enough to save it. 3It was therefore decided that you needed a defense which was so splendid that you could not misuse it, although you could refuse it. 4Your will could not turn it into a weapon of attack, which is the inherent characteristic of all other defenses. 5The Atonement thus became the only defense which was not a two-edged sword.3 The Atonement actually began long before the resurrection. 2Many souls offered their efforts on behalf of the separated ones. 3But they could not withstand the strength of the attack and had to be brought back. 4Angels came, too, but their protection was not enough, because the separated ones were not interested in peace. 5They had already split themselves and were bent on dividing rather than reintegrating. 6The levels they introduced into themselves turned against each other, and they, in turn, turned against one another. 7They established differences, divisions, cleavages, dispersion, and all the other concepts related to the increasing splits they produced. 8Not being in their right minds, they turned their defenses from protection to assault, and acted literally insanely. 9It was essential to introduce a split-proof device which could be used only to heal, if it was used at all.4 The Atonement was built into the space-time belief in order to set a limit on the need for the belief, and ultimately to make learning complete. 2The Atonement is the final lesson. 3Learning itself, like the classrooms in which it occurs, is temporary. 4(Let all those who overestimate human intelligence remember this.) 5The ability to learn has no value when change of understanding is no longer necessary. 6The eternally creative have nothing to learn. 7Only after the separation was it necessary to direct the creative force to learning, because changed behavior had become mandatory.5 Human beings can learn to improve their behavior, and can also learn to become better and better learners. 2This increase serves to bring them into closer and closer accord with the Sonship. 3But the Sonship itself is a perfect creation, and perfection is not a matter of degree. 4Only while there are different degrees is learning meaningful.6 The evolution of humankind is merely a process by which you proceed from one degree to the next. 2You correct your previous missteps by stepping forward. 3This represents a process which is actually incomprehensible in temporal terms, because you return as you go forward. 4The Atonement is the device by which you can free yourself from the past as you go ahead. 5It undoes your past errors, thus making it unnecessary for you to keep retracing your steps without advancing toward your return.7 In this sense, the Atonement saves time, but like the miracle which serves it, does not abolish it.76 2As long as there is need for Atonement, there is need for time. 3But the Atonement as a completed plan does have a unique relationship to time. 4Until the Atonement is finished, its various phases will proceed in time, but the whole Atonement stands at its end. 5At this point, the bridge of the return has been built.8 If you find discussion of the Atonement upsetting, it is because the Atonement is a total commitment. 2You still think this is associated with loss. 3This is the same mistake all the separated ones make in one way or another. 4They cannot believe that a defense which cannot attack is the best defense. 5Except for this misperception, the angels could have helped them. 6What do you think “the meek shall inherit the earth” means?77 7They will literally take it over, because of their strength.78 8A two-way defense is inherently weak; precisely because it has two edges it can turn against the self very unexpectedly.9 This tendency cannot be controlled except by miracles. 2The miracle turns the defense of Atonement to the protection of the inner self, which, as it becomes more and more secure, assumes its natural talent of protecting others. 3The inner self knows itself as both a brother and a Son.

V6版本、3.6L V6版本和3.6L V6高性能版。官方指导价也很直白,就按排量来定价格,2.8L的43.8万,3.6L的51.8万。现在看这车绝对是诚意满满,在那个年代,3.6L的CTS就已经能做到百公里加速6.7秒,而且配备的还是5AT变速箱,高性能版还有制动力分配、牵引力控制和车身稳定系统。并且,还能看见前排座椅加热、电动座椅记忆、中控彩色液晶屏幕、可调高度的大灯、后视镜加热等等那个年代非常稀有的功能。如果把这车放到现在,很多人绝对会夸它“原汁原味”,但是对于当时那些愿意花五十来万去买车的人而言,这个车空间小、油耗高、价格贵,牌子也不是很硬,结果就是……凉凉。在CTS惨败之后,凯迪拉克重振旗鼓,又在2007年把STS拉进国内生产,而且通用还借鉴了奥迪的成功经验,把海外的STS进行了加长,变成了我们后来看到的SLS赛威。这个系列不仅推出了2.8L V6和3.6L V6版本,还推出了4.6L V8的旗舰型。如果你觉得大排量发动机就已经有些不讲武德了,那我再说几个让人惊讶的配置和技术:发动机全系配有可变气门正时和电子节气门控制技术,前轮配备左右长短臂附防倾杆的独立悬架,至于ABS、制动力分配、刹车辅助、牵引力控制、车身稳定控制、无钥匙进入、无钥匙启动、多功能方向盘、电动座椅记忆、蓝牙车载电话等等也是全系标配,并且旗舰型还有后排座椅电动调节、后排座椅加热、车载电视。凯迪拉克把所有的高精尖技术一股脑全用在了SLS上面,带来的结果却让人大跌眼镜,这台车在当年被无数人吐槽:价格太贵了、油耗太高了,因为即使你把配置堆得这么香,技术弄得这么高端,但是很多都是在消费者看不到的地方(现在的凯迪拉克也是这样)。就比如那个左右长短臂附防倾杆的独立悬架,大多数人根本搞不清楚这玩意儿有什么用,那时候看重的是车子够大、坐起来够舒服、开出去有面子。凯迪拉克发现,自己大排量的车型水土不服,只能痛定思痛开始转变思路,于是在2010年底引入了2.0T发动机,所以后来2011款的SLS就有了2.0T版本,准入门槛也从过去的44.8万下降至38.88万,这还不算大幅度的市场优惠。所以如果说凯迪拉克疯狂打折是从什么时候开始的,我觉得就是从2011年这台2.0T的SLS开始的。到了2013年,鉴于之前的销量,凯迪拉克做出了调整,决定搞“错位竞争”,用XTS这款中大型车去和BBA的中型车进行PK,凭借价格和尺寸的优势,虽然XTS的打法非常另类,但是就此站稳了。后来,凯迪拉克又在轿车系列中把ATS进行国产变成了ATS-L,通过大幅度的降价和确实很香的配置,从BBA手里抢走不少客户,凯迪拉克尝到了甜头。似乎一切都在往好的方向发展,虽然在品牌和销量之间进行了一些取舍,但好在有销量支撑,能赚钱比什么都强。可是,凯迪拉克在市场营销上后续的骚操作,则一下把自己推上了风口浪尖。2016年初,国产的CT6正式上市,凯迪拉克很重视,消费者也很期待。凯迪拉克先是搞了个“以D打C”和“二打一”的策略,用CT6+XTS两台车去攻占中大型车市场,其实主要目标也就是E级、5系、A6L。CT6作为高端旗舰提升调性,XTS则是用低价正面硬刚。凯迪拉克发现,自己的策略还可以,好歹还有那么一丢丢的销量,于是骚操作开始了。他们搞了一个“5+1=6”的活动,在2016年6月22日到7月31日期间,只要你手里有一台个人一手的宝马5系,不管国产还是进口,制造年份在2012至2014年之间(520车型要2013至2014年),车辆里程小于8万公里,车况保证无大事故、无火烧、无泡水,你就可以用这台车加一块钱人民币去换一台官方指导价43.99万的CT6 28T时尚型回来,如果想要更高的配置,贴补配置的差价就可以。凯迪拉克这个活动堪称营销学中的典型失败案例,可以直接写进教科书当反面教材的那种,直接把CT6这张好牌打得稀烂,以至于很多人都觉得官方这个行为就是明示CT6的新车就和二手的5系一个价。据说最后有3000多人报名,一系列严苛规则筛选后只剩下4人,那我想问搞这么大动静你图什么呢?最早一批原价买了CT6的车主们,尤其是40T车主,还做着对标S级、7系和A8L的美梦,结果被官方这么一带节奏,自己心态彻底崩了是小,手里的车哗啦啦贬值才是大……结果,在这波骚操作过后,凯迪拉克的品牌力一下子跌了不少,加上后来各大4S店在国5转国6的时候又开始清仓大甩卖,15万的ATS-L秀出天际,从此凯迪拉克在中国市场里变成了价格骨折的代名词。在ATS-L结束了自己的历史使命后,凯迪拉克进行了大幅度的产品线调整,把原来的“TS”轿车线,也就是ATS、XTS、CTS、SLS(海外叫STS)全都砍掉,变成了现在“CT4、5、6”的轿车线和“XT4、5、6”的SUV线,外加百万级的凯雷德,喜欢哪个选哪个。当然,凯迪拉克这样的操作虽然自降身价,但的确带来了不小的福利。在大幅降价的策略下,凯迪拉克几乎做到了中美同价,而且即使有这么大的优惠,凯迪拉克依旧不亏。因为他们现在除了凯雷德之外,全系都配备了代号LSY的2.0T发动机,加上通用自己的工厂不止在做凯迪拉克,同时还在做别克和雪佛兰,成本一下子就摊薄了,这也是为什么凯迪拉克有底气做到以价换量。各款凯迪拉克轿车的优缺点那么,凯迪拉克的车到底怎么样,今天暂时先聊一聊它的轿车线。CT6最开始的对手是E级、5系、A6L,但这都是老黄页了。现在但凡是预算充裕的人,恐怕都不会在CT6与这三款车之间纠结,即使是用CT6的高配去对比这三款车的低配,大多数人也会在后者当中三选一。CT6目前最直接的竞争对手一定是沃尔沃的S90,即将换代的捷豹XFL暂时退出竞争,S90也是这么想的,为了干掉CT6特地停产了2.0T低功率的T4车型。现在CT6主流的28T豪华型和S90主流的B5智逸豪华/运动版价格都差不多,都已经沦落到了36万左右即可落地。CT6和5系有点像,都是那种有运动感的中大型车,但是换了LSY发动机之后只剩下237马力、350牛米,相比老款LTG发动机的276马力、400牛米,等于自废武功。不过CT6好歹是纵置后驱车,相比前驱S90在操控上多少会有一些优势,如果是拥有电磁悬挂和后轮转向优势会非常明显,但那是价格更高的次顶配和顶配才有的玩意儿。除此之外CT6的底盘最初是对标S级这种大型车的,行驶质感会好过S90那单薄的底盘,同时CT6同级别绝对一流的隔音静谧性,也是S90没有的。而S90的优势在于全系标配的主动安全系统,车道偏离预警、车道保持、主动刹车……此外CT6巨大的车身在小街小巷中穿梭非常吃力,在非主路调头的时候更会让你痛不欲生,但S90在车长短了十几公分的前提下,后排空间竟然比CT6还要再大不少。用“只有差异,没有差距”形容现在的CT6和S90再合适不过了,这哥俩都跳水跳成这样了,选谁都没有错。唯一的区别是,CT6在年轻群体当中更受欢迎,而S90的车主年纪普遍偏大一些。其实也有人会拿CT6去对比雷克萨斯ES,尤其是ES200。我反倒觉得这两车的受众群体完全不同,大多数CT6车主都会觉得ES200这种车就是“高价低能、换壳凯美瑞”,而ES200车主会觉得既然你不懂我,我也没必要和你争。此外还有人拿CT6对比3系的,所以说CT6的对手是3系还真不是一句调侃……再简单聊聊CT5和CT4。CT5是一款非常有潜力去竞争3系的车,但依然扛不住凯迪拉克的降价大法。而CT5的车主又可以分成两类,一类是顶配,一类是其他。大部分CT5车主的预算距离3系还是差了些,但他们又想得到一台豪华运动后驱车,CT5的价格合适(28T技术型落地26万,28T豪华型落地28万),那就直接提走。而顶配的28T铂金运动版车主才是真爱(落地33万),他们的预算再加一些就足够入手3系的325i和325Li了,但是顶配的电磁悬挂、Brembo刹车、PS4S轮胎、限滑差速器每一样都是狠货,让他们毅然决然放弃宝马标去追求这些只供自己愉悦的东西。至于CT5和3系怎么选?完全看你的钱包厚度,如果预算只够CT5低配,那也没什么好选的。如果预算够上CT5顶配,顶配的CT5在机械素质层面肯定要比现在的325i和325Li更好,现在的CT5反而比3系更像3系。但如果你想要舒舒服服家用,那还是长轴的325Li更香一点,有着5系一般舒适的悬挂调校。但在330i和330Li这俩动力怪物面前,即使是顶配的CT5也没有太多竞争力了,首先价格就不在一个档次了。至于CT4,对于那些兜里没什么钱又想要运动和后驱的人来说,CT4在性能和配置上具有足够的吸引力,同时中型车的定位在级别上也更加吃香。但是假如你在有女朋友或者老婆的情况下还想买这车的话,那你就得祈祷自己的另一半不看网络段子,不然她绝对会时时刻刻盯着你的行踪,顺便把你所有车友会的微信群都退掉。写在最后回想那个XTS、CTS、SLS、SRX的时代,凯迪拉克就像是一个小众但非常有情怀的美式豪华品牌,是所有美系爱好者都向往的dream car,但价格总是妨碍我们去实现梦想。降价当然是好事,曾经高高在上的凯迪拉克,现在不说唾手可得吧,至少入手难度已经连降好几级。从销量上看,现在的凯迪拉克也远比当年的凯迪拉克成功,但过于简单粗暴的降价反倒会让一批豪华品牌消费者感到廉价。这些人往往感性大于理性,贵就是好好就是贵,车再好也不如一枚自带光环的车标来得重要,以至于凯迪拉克在他们眼里已经变成了差一口气上BBA的无奈之选。现在,奔驰代表豪华;宝马代表运动;奥迪代表科技;雷克萨斯代表匠心……凯迪拉克代表什么?更多会让人联想到便宜。这就是这个具有百年历史的品牌、曾经的豪华标准缔造者遇到的问题。但是在中国想要在销量上接近BBA,降价几乎是凯迪拉克唯一可选的路。只是在降价的同时,我总感觉以凯迪拉克为代表的美系车在文化植入方面做得实在不够,毕竟同样在降价的沃尔沃和捷豹,一个一直主打安全,一个也能和英伦风情扯上边。同属通用旗下的别克和雪弗兰也一样,以至于很多人一看见美系车,就会下意识想到“粗糙”、“油老虎”、“优惠大”,没了。这点它们都应该学一学刚才提到的大众,一个普通平价品牌硬是给大家留下了“高级”的印象。美系车的调性应该是什么样的?开上它,感觉就像单手扶着方向盘,另一只手搂着美国大妹,沐浴着加州的灿烂阳光,驶在通往天使之城的66号公路上……音频图文更新在订阅号:

※ 本文章发布于订阅号:百车全说,订阅号阅读更加方便,欢迎关注!同样的CT6,4年暴跌15万2016年7月底,南京突然传出了要限牌的小道消息,也不知道是谁先开的头,但是当时知道这事的人还挺多。我就记得那一天还在睡梦中,我爸突然打电话给我,说南京要限牌了,前一秒我还是迷迷糊糊的,下一秒一下就惊醒了。传垚不传谣,但是传垚信谣。一听这个消息我就急了,当时家里还没有车,那还犹豫什么?但问题又来了,那时我在澳洲上学,家里只有我一人有驾照。7月底,距离澳洲大学开学还有一个礼拜,车买回来,一停就是好几个月直到我下次放假回国。于是,我爸想着先买一台二手破车,解决牌照问题。但是,买车是我盼了几年的大好事,当然希望一步到位。我爸犟不过我,只好答应,哎当时真不懂事。当天晚上,我就选好了车,选什么不好,偏偏选了当时刚刚上市不久的凯迪拉克CT6。现在想想也是,2016年E级、5系、A6L没有换代,捷豹XF、沃尔沃S90还是进口,好像也没什么可选的。第二天,赶到4S店,看车砍价,一气呵成;第三天,赶到4S店,贷款审核等太久,那就全款提车走;第四天,上完牌照,贴完窗膜,兜了会风,拉上车衣,告别走人……几个月后我放假回国,将车开回4S店首保,售后经理看到我的表显里程都不敢相信,240公里?!现在和爸妈谈起这件事,我们都很无奈,当时爸妈每周都要特地去地库发动一下车,生怕电瓶没电。发动的时候,他俩没事就干坐在车里,我妈会晕车,她现在还记得当时车里的那股新车味道。这就是我们家第一台车的故事,一件平常可能要纠结几个月的大事,在限牌谣言的促使下几天内就草草完事。至于当时提车的落地价格,这是我不愿提及的痛:2016款28T豪华型,官方指导价48.99万,优惠8万裸车40.99万,落地47万不到。而前不久,我们的兔子也买了一台CT6,身为野马车主,他选择CT6的原因是“可以舒舒服服带娃”。选一款方向盘会自动往洗浴中心跑偏的车带娃,我也是信了。他的落地价格就非常劲爆了:2021款28T精英型,官方指导价39.97万,优惠11.5万,落地32万以内。我问他为什么不买更主流的豪华型,配置上一个档次也差不了多少钱。兔子的回答很耿直:“因为不喜欢液晶仪表。”32万以内,还不是最低配,这是什么神仙价格?我仍然记得当年CT6刚上市时的定位:标准轴距的大型轿车,3.0L双涡轮增压的40T车型错位竞争S级、7系、A8L,2.0T的28T车型直接竞争E级、5系、A6L。但理想有多美好,现实就有多残酷。在美国老家,凯迪拉克CT6已于今年正式停产,现在我们见到的中期改款CT6,大概率是CT6简短一生中的最后一个版本。在国内CT6在2019年改款之后不仅取消了原先59.99-81.88万的40T车型,同时还全面下调28T车型的官方指导价,由43.99-61.99万降到37.97-48.97万,相当于来了一次官方降级。现在再对比一下当初被拿来与CT6比较最多的、同时也是运动调性最相似的5系,低配的525Li现在的落地价格在46万左右,而明显低CT6一个级别的3系,想要落地主流的325Li也需掏出36万左右。所以现在有那么一句话,CT4的对手是3系,CT5的对手是3系,现在CT6的对手也变成了3系。为什么会这样?通用错过的10年时间回到1978年,中国汽车工业公司希望在北京建立一个大型的汽车联合企业,以轻型车为主,包括轿车、客货两用车等车型。中汽首先想到的合资对象就是通用,而且后来还考虑到单靠中汽的力量不够,还联合了航天工业部、兵器工业部参加。然而由于中美双方在大型铸造厂的选址问题上意见不同,这个宏大的项目就此告吹。后来,政府决定在上海建立轿车生产基地,提出要引进一批机电产品装配线,借此发展对外加工装配业务,当中就包括了一条轿车装配线。当时首选的合资对象是丰田,但是丰田正投入大量精力在北美打造雷克萨斯品牌,根本无暇考虑合资事宜。加上丰田高层认为那时候的国内消费力低下,应该先合力发展商用车市场,不愿投巨资到轿车项目,所以作罢。德国大众的高层听闻后,马上与中国政府开展接触工作,来来回回折腾了很多次,直到1984年正式和上汽集团的前身,也就是上海汽车拖拉机联营公司签订了合资合同。到了1985年3月,“上海大众(上汽大众)”正式成立。上海大众成立,德国人舒舒服服吃了一波红利,并且国家在1988年提出了“三大三小两微”战略,只支持一汽大众、上海大众、东风神龙这“三大”,北京吉普、天津夏利和广州标致这“三小”,以及长安奥拓和贵州云雀这“两微”的基地建设。彼时的通用已经看到了大众在中国的战绩,毕竟“三大”里面有两个都是大众,美国佬满肚子都是羡慕嫉妒恨,所以极度想进入中国市场。于是在1991年终于通过和金杯合作的方式进入国内,成立了“金杯通用汽车公司”,通用就此一边和金杯一起搞雪佛兰S10系列轻型载货汽车,一边等待机会。时间来到1994年,国内发布了首个汽车产业政策,到1995年底前不再批准轿车和轻型车的新整车项目,这让通用这种本来想静静等待政策转机的厂家一脸懵X。好在功夫不负有心人,到了1994年11月事态发生了转机,在一次轿车技术交流会上,政府表示中国汽车工业将把主要方向从载货车转为轿车生产,还把公费购买市场转为家庭消费为主。通用一下子就抓住了这个机会,毕竟之前已经失去了太多,立马着手与上汽进行谈判。当时,同样和上汽进行接洽的其实不止通用一家,还有福特跟丰田。但是丰田太积极,在1994年11月之前就来了,尽管那时候的丰田社长丰田达郎表示要合资生产20万台皇冠,但受制于国务院颁布的《汽车工业产业政策》,这一项合作就没有达成,丰田很郁闷,不过我估计上汽也挺郁闷的,这个合作要是达成了,现在也没有广丰什么事了,估计得叫上丰。而福特没能达成合作,主要原因是自己作妖,那时候福特强烈坚持自己的控股比例大于50%,所以只能告吹。最后,通用公司粉墨登场,在吸取了之前的教训之后,通用直接大手一挥“我出15个亿,而且是美金”,要知道后来的长安福特,一开始的总投资额也不过9800万美元。同时,上汽的态度也很微妙,小算盘也是打得劈啪作响,一方面上汽希望可以通过和通用的合作来抗衡大众,迫使其引入新车型;另一方面还看中了通用的德尔福在零部件配套上的优势,于是在“浦东轿车项目”上双方很快达成共识。1997年3月,上汽和通用正式签署合资合同,通用答应将那时候最新的车型带到中国,共同发展中高级轿车项目。也就是说,从1978年到1997年,通用整整用了10年时间才正式和中国的消费者见面。通用最先希望引入雪佛兰进行国产,但是中方认为雪佛兰的档次太低,后来通用又向中方推荐了欧宝,但经过调研发现,当时国内市场主要是公务车市场,倾向于大排量和大尺寸车型,因此欧宝也没有下文了。最后的选择就在别克和凯迪拉克之间,由于通用当时不想国产凯迪拉克,最终决定只有别克了,于是通用就靠别克的新世纪和赛欧拉开了在中国市场的序幕。到了2004年,上汽通用已然成长为一颗参天大树,于是决定将凯迪拉克正式落户上汽通用,比北京奔驰还早了一年。但是,凯迪拉克在国内的路一直都不是很顺利。首先是在2005年,凯迪拉克CTS正式国产上市,推出了三个配置,分别是2.8L V6版本、3.6L V6版本和3.6L V6高性能版。官方指导价也很直白,就按排量来定价格,2.8L的43.8万,3.6L的51.8万。现在看这车绝对是诚意满满,在那个年代,3.6L的CTS就已经能做到百公里加速6.7秒,而且配备的还是5AT变速箱,高性能版还有制动力分配、牵引力控制和车身稳定系统。并且,还能看见前排座椅加热、电动座椅记忆、中控彩色液晶屏幕、可调高度的大灯、后视镜加热等等那个年代非常稀有的功能。如果把这车放到现在,很多人绝对会夸它“原汁原味”,但是对于当时那些愿意花五十来万去买车的人而言,这个车空间小、油耗高、价格贵,牌子也不是很硬,结果就是……凉凉。在CTS惨败之后,凯迪拉克重振旗鼓,又在2007年把STS拉进国内生产,而且通用还借鉴了奥迪的成功经验,把海外的STS进行了加长,变成了我们后来看到的SLS赛威。这个系列不仅推出了2.8L V6和3.6L V6版本,还推出了4.6L V8的旗舰型。如果你觉得大排量发动机就已经有些不讲武德了,那我再说几个让人惊讶的配置和技术:发动机全系配有可变气门正时和电子节气门控制技术,前轮配备左右长短臂附防倾杆的独立悬架,至于ABS、制动力分配、刹车辅助、牵引力控制、车身稳定控制、无钥匙进入、无钥匙启动、多功能方向盘、电动座椅记忆、蓝牙车载电话等等也是全系标配,并且旗舰型还有后排座椅电动调节、后排座椅加热、车载电视。凯迪拉克把所有的高精尖技术一股脑全用在了SLS上面,带来的结果却让人大跌眼镜,这台车在当年被无数人吐槽:价格太贵了、油耗太高了,因为即使你把配置堆得这么香,技术弄得这么高端,但是很多都是在消费者看不到的地方(现在的凯迪拉克也是这样)。就比如那个左右长短臂附防倾杆的独立悬架,大多数人根本搞不清楚这玩意儿有什么用,那时候看重的是车子够大、坐起来够舒服、开出去有面子。凯迪拉克发现,自己大排量的车型水土不服,只能痛定思痛开始转变思路,于是在2010年底引入了2.0T发动机,所以后来2011款的SLS就有了2.0T版本,准入门槛也从过去的44.8万下降至38.88万,这还不算大幅度的市场优惠。所以如果说凯迪拉克疯狂打折是从什么时候开始的,我觉得就是从2011年这台2.0T的SLS开始的。到了2013年,鉴于之前的销量,凯迪拉克做出了调整,决定搞“错位竞争”,用XTS这款中大型车去和BBA的中型车进行PK,凭借价格和尺寸的优势,虽然XTS的打法非常另类,但是就此站稳了。后来,凯迪拉克又在轿车系列中把ATS进行国产变成了ATS-L,通过大幅度的降价和确实很香的配置,从BBA手里抢走不少客户,凯迪拉克尝到了甜头。似乎一切都在往好的方向发展,虽然在品牌和销量之间进行了一些取舍,但好在有销量支撑,能赚钱比什么都强。可是,凯迪拉克在市场营销上后续的骚操作,则一下把自己推上了风口浪尖。2016年初,国产的CT6正式上市,凯迪拉克很重视,消费者也很期待。凯迪拉克先是搞了个“以D打C”和“二打一”的策略,用CT6+XTS两台车去攻占中大型车市场,其实主要目标也就是E级、5系、A6L。CT6作为高端旗舰提升调性,XTS则是用低价正面硬刚。凯迪拉克发现,自己的策略还可以,好歹还有那么一丢丢的销量,于是骚操作开始了。他们搞了一个“5+1=6”的活动,在2016年6月22日到7月31日期间,只要你手里有一台个人一手的宝马5系,不管国产还是进口,制造年份在2012至2014年之间(520车型要2013至2014年),车辆里程小于8万公里,车况保证无大事故、无火烧、无泡水,你就可以用这台车加一块钱人民币去换一台官方指导价43.99万的CT6 28T时尚型回来,如果想要更高的配置,贴补配置的差价就可以。凯迪拉克这个活动堪称营销学中的典型失败案例,可以直接写进教科书当反面教材的那种,直接把CT6这张好牌打得稀烂,以至于很多人都觉得官方这个行为就是明示CT6的新车就和二手的5系一个价。据说最后有3000多人报名,一系列严苛规则筛选后只剩下4人,那我想问搞这么大动静你图什么呢?最早一批原价买了CT6的车主们,尤其是40T车主,还做着对标S级、7系和A8L的美梦,结果被官方这么一带节奏,自己心态彻底崩了是小,手里的车哗啦啦贬值才是大……结果,在这波骚操作过后,凯迪拉克的品牌力一下子跌了不少,加上后来各大4S店在国5转国6的时候又开始清仓大甩卖,15万的ATS-L秀出天际,从此凯迪拉克在中国市场里变成了价格骨折的代名词。在ATS-L结束了自己的历史使命后,凯迪拉克进行了大幅度的产品线调整,把原来的“TS”轿车线,也就是ATS、XTS、CTS、SLS(海外叫STS)全都砍掉,变成了现在“CT4、5、6”的轿车线和“XT4、5、6”的SUV线,外加百万级的凯雷德,喜欢哪个选哪个。当然,凯迪拉克这样的操作虽然自降身价,但的确带来了不小的福利。在大幅降价的策略下,凯迪拉克几乎做到了中美同价,而且即使有这么大的优惠,凯迪拉克依旧不亏。因为他们现在除了凯雷德之外,全系都配备了代号LSY的2.0T发动机,加上通用自己的工厂不止在做凯迪拉克,同时还在做别克和雪佛兰,成本一下子就摊薄了,这也是为什么凯迪拉克有底气做到以价换量。各款凯迪拉克轿车的优缺点那么,凯迪拉克的车到底怎么样,今天暂时先聊一聊它的轿车线。CT6最开始的对手是E级、5系、A6L,但这都是老黄页了。现在但凡是预算充裕的人,恐怕都不会在CT6与这三款车之间纠结,即使是用CT6的高配去对比这三款车的低配,大多数人也会在后者当中三选一。CT6目前最直接的竞争对手一定是沃尔沃的S90,即将换代的捷豹XFL暂时退出竞争,S90也是这么想的,为了干掉CT6特地停产了2.0T低功率的T4车型。现在CT6主流的28T豪华型和S90主流的B5智逸豪华/运动版价格都差不多,都已经沦落到了36万左右即可落地。CT6和5系有点像,都是那种有运动感的中大型车,但是换了LSY发动机之后只剩下237马力、350牛米,相比老款LTG发动机的276马力、400牛米,等于自废武功。不过CT6好歹是纵置后驱车,相比前驱S90在操控上多少会有一些优势,如果是拥有电磁悬挂和后轮转向优势会非常明显,但那是价格更高的次顶配和顶配才有的玩意儿。除此之外CT6的底盘最初是对标S级这种大型车的,行驶质感会好过S90那单薄的底盘,同时CT6同级别绝对一流的隔音静谧性,也是S90没有的。而S90的优势在于全系标配的主动安全系统,车道偏离预警、车道保持、主动刹车……此外CT6巨大的车身在小街小巷中穿梭非常吃力,在非主路调头的时候更会让你痛不欲生,但S90在车长短了十几公分的前提下,后排空间竟然比CT6还要再大不少。用“只有差异,没有差距”形容现在的CT6和S90再合适不过了,这哥俩都跳水跳成这样了,选谁都没有错。唯一的区别是,CT6在年轻群体当中更受欢迎,而S90的车主年纪普遍偏大一些。其实也有人会拿CT6去对比雷克萨斯ES,尤其是ES200。我反倒觉得这两车的受众群体完全不同,大多数CT6车主都会觉得ES200这种车就是“高价低能、换壳凯美瑞”,而ES200车主会觉得既然你不懂我,我也没必要和你争。此外还有人拿CT6对比3系的,所以说CT6的对手是3系还真不是一句调侃……再简单聊聊CT5和CT4。CT5是一款非常有潜力去竞争3系的车,但依然扛不住凯迪拉克的降价大法。而CT5的车主又可以分成两类,一类是顶配,一类是其他。大部分CT5车主的预算距离3系还是差了些,但他们又想得到一台豪华运动后驱车,CT5的价格合适(28T技术型落地26万,28T豪华型落地28万),那就直接提走。而顶配的28T铂金运动版车主才是真爱(落地33万),他们的预算再加一些就足够入手3系的325i和325Li了,但是顶配的电磁悬挂、Brembo刹车、PS4S轮胎、限滑差速器每一样都是狠货,让他们毅然决然放弃宝马标去追求这些只供自己愉悦的东西。至于CT5和3系怎么选?完全看你的钱包厚度,如果预算只够CT5低配,那也没什么好选的。如果预算够上CT5顶配,顶配的CT5在机械素质层面肯定要比现在的325i和325Li更好,现在的CT5反而比3系更像3系。但如果你想要舒舒服服家用,那还是长轴的325Li更香一点,有着5系一般舒适的悬挂调校。但在330i和330Li这俩动力怪物面前,即使是顶配的CT5也没有太多竞争力了,首先价格就不在一个档次了。至于CT4,对于那些兜里没什么钱又想要运动和后驱的人来说,CT4在性能和配置上具有足够的吸引力,同时中型车的定位在级别上也更加吃香。但是假如你在有女朋友或者老婆的情况下还想买这车的话,那你就得祈祷自己的另一半不看网络段子,不然她绝对会时时刻刻盯着你的行踪,顺便把你所有车友会的微信群都退掉。写在最后回想那个XTS、CTS、SLS、SRX的时代,凯迪拉克就像是一个小众但非常有情怀的美式豪华品牌,是所有美系爱好者都向往的dream

LUKE 13:1-5At that very time there were some present who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. Heasked them, ‘Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were worse sinners than all other Galileans? No, I tellyou; but unless you repent, you will all perish as they did. Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam fell on them—doyou think that they were worse offenders than all the others living in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perishjust as they did.’PSALM 23The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul.He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rodand your staff— they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cupoverflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD my whole lifelong.Support the show (https://onrealm.org/suncreekumc/SignIn?ReturnUrl=%2Fsuncreekumc%2FGive%2FKERLVPEKEP)
In this episode, we reflect on another aspect of Jesus's Resurrection: All Things New.Jesus promises an eventual eternal New Day, but there's also language of "newness" throughout the scripture that we can experience in our lives now. These are echoes and tastes of the New Day we look forward to in the Resurrection of Jesus. Renewed promises. Renewed grace. Renewed wonder.Scripture for further reference:2 Corinthians 5:13-2114 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.Matthew 18:1-5At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”2 He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. 3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.2 Corinthians 5:1717 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!Isaiah 43:18 English Standard Version (ESV)“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old.Isaiah 43:19 English Standard Version (ESV)Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.Isaiah 65:17 English Standard Version (ESV)“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind.Revelation 21:5 English Standard Version (ESV)And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”Ephesians 4:24-2522 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.Lamentations 3:22-23Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,for his compassions never fail.They are new every morning;great is your faithfulness.
