      Lexus News: All-New 2026 Lexus ES Gets Electrification On All Models

      By Paolino · Posted

      Lexus, year after year, styles in ways that make me wonder how people are buying them. Each generation gets a little uglier. At one point I really liked their designs (although I tend to prefer conservative designs). I'm not quite sure what's going on with the doors... is that like a combination of woodgrain and plastic? Different types of woodgrain? Like the exteriors, the interiors of this and the current generation lost me...

      I agree with the institutional investors that Musk is full of BS and even if he steps back from DOGE, his focus will be on AI and Robots, not TESLA Autos. Major Tesla Investor Rips 'Delusional' Elon Musk After Earnings Call This story pretty much reenforces that the focus is on everything else but Tesla Auto's. Elon Musk says China wants assurances that magnets for Tesla's humanoid robot won't be used for 'military purposes'

      Good Point, my 2006 Escalade ESV is 198.9 inches long, so round up to 199 inches and it fits in my garage, but the house was built in 1962. It cannot fit in my sister's newer house from 2007, so I cannot see how these even longer new EVs are going to fit in a modern garage unless they feel everyone will just park outside. WOW, parking lots that have small parking spots are going to be super tight with this car. Super long but not super wide as it is 4 inches shorter width than my Escalade.  That is weird, long and skinny? Tacky overall and does NOT say luxury to me.  Totally agree with @smk4565 that those plastic lines on the outside of the doors is TERRIBLE.

      Cadillac News: Cadillac Optiq Will Join V-series Lineup

      By smk4565 · Posted

      Definitely need this as 300 hp in aa 5,000 lb car or whatever these weigh is adequate but not a lot.  I imagine it is easy to go to the Lyriq's 500 hp motors, swap in some better brakes and beef up the suspension a bit.   They should V-series all Cadillacs, especially if selling in China where they have all these 1,000 hp or 1,500 hp cars.

      This thing is huge, I don't know why it is so big.  Unless they plan to kill off the LS, which they say they are not doing. The interior looks too sparse and boring.  Good that they did hybrid and full EV.   Looks too much like the Camry, and the moldings on the doors look weird.  I am so sick of plastic moldings tacked on doors, why can't car companies just make a metal door without cladding and molding all over it like a 1990s Pontiac.
