    Way to funny, Guess all those people who figured life was over as we know it have to figure out what to worry about next!

    Ah but some rabbits are best left alone, a wise hound once said. Yes this analogy always comes up for kids on Saturday morning Cartoons. You have to focus on small manageable groups that will catch fire and spread to the larger groups. This is about catching enough of the many to spread to the masses not the one. As such, getting 5000 in the public eye that makes them think more about wanting this technology in other types of auto's like a Volt AWD CUV or a Volt Mini Pickup truck, Volt Station Wagon..... You have to start with something that will ignite the passion. The ELR and Volt are clearly doing that as I see more and more and hopefully GM will spread this technology to more alternative forms that will help people reduce cost long term. That is what a Volt does, reduces ownership cost long term by reducing the amount of fuel needed. EPA list the average age of 257 million cars as 11yrs old or people having spent $24,000 dollars on gas over those 11yrs. The Volt can greatly reduce that amount putting money back into people pockets.

    But But I gave you other options also. There has to be some lustful person you could do a one night stand with!

    Cathrine Zeta Jones Yes celebrities, models, someone you have always admired and maybe lusted after.

    OK, So regardless if you are married or not, in a committed relationship or not, have a partner or not, we have all day dreamed of the ultimate one night stand. So sound off and list those hot woman or men that if you could with no damage, no strings attached, who would you go to bed with for one night!

    Well, I feel the same way - I am sure it will be a beauty, but GM will never sell enough of them for it to be a well-known, popular Cadillac. I know the auto makers have to start somewhere with this electric vehicle thing, but the prices on them is a real buzz-kill. It is going to be a low volume halo car...it's a luxury car, so the price is justifiable. It's not a volume Chevy... They'll be lucky if they build & sell 5,000 - 10,000 of these. Build something that will sell to the masses, not to Hollywood stars & corporate CEO's Your Wrong in this statement. Toyota brought out the Prius POS and focused on the CEO's, Hollywood Stars and extreme greenies. Now it is a huge billion dollar win. GM building a Green auto like the ELR needs to get the approval and desire of these elite folks so that they can be seen by millions and then you end up with the Jones Jones race of having to have the same. GM Marketing of the ELR and tagging the Visual folks that are seen by billions around the world is what will help win or loose the Hybrid market. I see no reason why this should not be a smashing success for GM.

    SWEET RIDE!!!

    What you feel Entitled to know before they are ready to anounce the production locations?

    Interesting to see the 400 v8 2bbl at the bottom of the fourth paragraph on the bottom. At least this confirms that our Olds was not a freak but actually part of an available package.

    Very cool to Hear that this Pontiac is taking such good care of your family!

    To put it in perspective, Ford sells 68k F-series, E-Series, and Transit Connect in a month, more Mustangs than the entire Lincoln brand in an entire year. WOW That tells me it is a pretty dead product line. I am surprised they have been able to recover the R&D cost for those cars.
  13. G. David Felt
    PLEASE, We have seen this before from all automakers. Could they use better communication? Sure, it would have been better to make the anouncement that they would pull out one car and put another in it's place but then if they are up for negotiations with the unions, then it also makes sense that they would pull production till a contract is signed to make sure no interruptions happen with a new model.
  14. G. David Felt
    surprised they sold that many cars this year. I hardly ever see new Lincolns on the road here, plenty of 90's generation Town cars but rare to see anything new from them in the Seattle area.
  15. G. David Felt
    Missing the word Year in the "Ford announced an 18% rise in sales for next would constitute a "good year"." Any gain for a line of product that is lack luster and clearly looks badged engineered would be good.
  16. G. David Felt
    Totally Agree, comparing residual value of a eco box to a mid level hybrid.
  17. G. David Felt
    I wonder when they quit using that...the '80s-90s era W140 platform E class used it, my sister's '91 300CE has it, neat to watch. Speaking of wipers, I noticed the new Fusion has the old school meet-in-the-middle style wipers....IIRC, some GMs in the '80s-90s used that style also--some of the W-bodies and Corvettes IIRC. Anyway, back to the ELR...I'm looking forward to seeing this car, regardless of the drivetrain, if it looks a sharp as the show car it's going to be an interesting model for Cadillac. I agree that the body style will tend to drive people to look at and check out Caddilac regardless of the number of ELR's they sell. I PREDICT this will sell better than people think it will.

    What a BS Story, this is like Craps, roll the dice and hope your numbers come up. Total BS, they have no clue what they are doing/saying. Green car owners tend to also hold onto their auto's far longer than gas counterparts.

    Increasing numbers of US customers are turning to alternative fuel vehicles, according to the latest research from Mintel, which shows that sales are up 73%, with nearly 440,000 hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electrics sold thus far this year. The rapid sales growth in hybrid and electric vehicles makes the segment the fastest growing in the US for 2012, supplanting the still fast growing, compact car vehicle segment. http://www.itsinternational.com/sections/general/news/us-drivers-turning-to-alternative-fuel-vehicles-says-research/?goback=.gde_2195876_member_197951202 Read the full but short article and sound off, do you agree with what is stated or not and why?
  20. G. David Felt
    or Not sure which you deserve for the dirty bits idea, that is no way to treat the HHR, this auto is way to fugly for a GM model. GM could so build a better version than this thing.
  21. G. David Felt
    Exactly, GM missed the boat on properly marketing this to the construction industry as the Electrical prongs in the bed took nothing away from carrying rock, dirt, etc but gave a ton of usefulness to allowing construction on site where no power existed yet. Having this as a option package or building a dedicated work truck that gave more than the single electrical outlet. There are far better ways to market a hybrid truck with the generator feature that would appeal to buyers. GM Failed at marketing the Hybrid full size Trucks and SUV's. Executives are still looking for instant profits and instant gratification rather than long term of what these platforms bring in long term benefits. Try and find a hybrid truck or SUV in the used car lot, if you do your research, you will find these are some of the longest owned vehicles as buyers do not want to give up the gains they got with these 4x4 hybrids as 22mpg is far better than the 15mpg the gas only versions get.

    Very true, Obsession in controlled quantities is far better than excessive obsession. People seem to give MB and BMW these large wide paths of never doing anything wrong as they are the best luxury lines there when in reality they have done plenty wrong and sure do not seem to be in the top 10 quality list from JD powers for the last 10 years. Selling off their name and the 90's quality that was better than many american versions but today, people need to keep an open mind to new quality ideas otherwise you miss the bus on the next great big job creation and money making opportunities.

    Nissan Cube well it fits your criteria! OK you got me on that one, but sadly Cube does not seem to carry over onto all models. Now if that name was from Jeep I could see a whole line of products Jeep Cube aka Wrangler Jeep Rectangle aka Patriot h'mmmmm I could see a whole family of Geometry. Math teachers would love it! We should come up with a naming series for each brand on what we think they should be called, maybe make it a competition.
  24. G. David Felt
    I like White Fuel better than Sterno and CNG best of all!
  25. G. David Felt
    The first auto company that comes up with a solid naming series that actually has names / synonms that reflect the auto will gain big market share. Eventually they will learn that we the buyers have passion and want to own a Monte Carlo SS, 442, El Camino SS, etc. There are plenty of great naming series they could use that is better than an Alphabet soup.
