I agree, saw a person sitting at the light and realized they were playing with their stupid Ipad. Took 3 honks to get them to move their ass since their Frinking pad was more important than driving. These people need to take the bus or buy one of Googles fugly self driving prius POS and stop hindering those of us that love to drive.

The local Ford/Lincoln dealership by my house is still dated from the 60's, they have the lincolns on the same showroom as the fords. I do not see them getting people to really buy these cars as more than a glamorized Ford. They have totally lost their identity of a stand alone luxury auto.This is Awesome News on the Engine front! Great to have the Z28 back.

Very Cool Santa!, Have those elves work hard to beat the dark side!
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.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!!!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.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.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.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.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.
