Interesting concept, looks like a jelly bean, but if they get the handling right, should be a hit. I hope GM is working on doing a Volt version of a CUV like this. I think it would do well under Chevy, Buick and Caddy.

Love Auto Shows, so much Cool stuff! Thanks to all the guys covering it for us.

So the 500e is nothing more than a Luxury Golf Cart for inter city driving. I see limited appeal in the real world even with the wasted tax dollars on EV highways. The amount of time you spend charging for your next 80 mile drive is pathetic. The 500c will appeal to the young woman and men wanting an open top and should allow them to sell in decent quantities. I hope GM Gets this going with the Spark as they need a soft top as they already have a superior EV and sporty gas model. 500L would seem to be their competition to Mini and trying to get people bigger than 5'8" tall into the cars. Be interesting to see their first year quality JD survey results.

Reuters has reported that Volkswagen's Audi division will suspend A7, A8 and R8 production in the first of 2013 is Euro Slump widens. http://news.yahoo.com/audi-may-suspend-high-end-car-production-slump-153611290--finance.html

http://autos.yahoo.c...-152700891.html Cadillac ATS was tested at the BMW proving grounds and they came away very impressed. They pushed both the ATS and BMW till they went into limp home mode. Do you feel that breaking and stearing are pretty spot on neutral and while the car seems to really behave in corners that it could use more horse power? Do you also see any of the things stated her about the CUE? http://news.yahoo.com/gm-takes-cue-apple-address-vehicle-tech-glitches-013139919--finance.html

Tractors are always cool for everyone. Just something neat about driving one, playing with one. I think it has to do with the open access to the world and no safety nanny devices like in a car. you truly are one with the world driving.

I still think they need to look at what others have done, namely Honda and Toyota and make sure they can beat them on all features and functionality. This along with a modern Efficient power train.

Too true, amazing to think of growing up in the 70's and starting with my first computer an Apple II and now what we have. I still got a few moves left in me. Thanks everyone for the wishes. Today should be a blast.

Sounds like this is his try out for the Fisker team and if he does good, then he probably will get to keep the job.

WOW, What an over priced Luxury Golf Cart for Inner City Transportation. Just wait till these cars get smashed and splattered all over the EV Highway and they have to call toxic response to come and clean up the mess. Sorry but this is a sad joke of a car in a world that does not really need them except in certain high density cities. I hope GM can recover the R&D cost of these pure electric cars,but I kinda doubt it. still 50 years and a long way to go in technology before this will be standard common car.

While the history of these past brands is great, one has to admit that there were way to many brands and non profitable lines. I look for GM ot strengthen their products now by taking from their rich history and putting it into a deeper bench of fewer product lines.

I agree, I am another Displacement guy, give me a honking V8 with turbo's or supercharger and I be happy.

So it sounds like they are looking at what Toyota did with the expansion of the Prius line to expand Volt in all directions. This is a very good thing for everyone,

Hey Guy's, Thank you. I my son and daughter are coming over tonight and the wife informed me we are going out for a nice dinner. So it should be a good one.

In today's society with not just the US, but World wide unemployement affecting everyone's quality of life, what could get at least the US to jump back into putting people to work and raise the life standard of the average worker? Forbes put out this great article by Stan Barton: The Surprising Obama Trade: Natural Gas http://www.forbes.co...ember_189605545 To quote the story: "A policy to take advantage of the natural gas abundance will have a “New Deal” type influence on infrastructure construction and manufacturing, and it will provide cheap energy to fuel growth in many sectors. Cheaper than oil per BTU, natural gas would have long-range systemic benefits for inflation control, just as Internet technology created systemic improvement in productivity. This article makes the case why we think that President Obama will focus on centering the U.S. energy policy on natural gas, and how it will help stocks that are in the sweet spots: natural gas exploration, well services, pipelines, fueling stations, vehicles and infrastructure." So read the complete article and then sound off on whether you agree or disagree and why. Is this the proper step for America to take in moving off oil to something better over the next 200 years as we perfect electric transportation? Please remember this is not to be political agenda driven, but from a business standpoint and what could help create jobs and our nation grow in a time of world wide depression.

That would be a nice update, use Jewel looking colored on the tri-shield and get rid of the circle. That would give it a nice modern look. Here is my poor MSFT Paint Job on the Tri-Shield

Over all I am happy with the results of what Caddy is doing. It is in the right direction.

I have to agree that I like having more USB ports around for charging and access to devices in an auto. That is allot of black and those seats do not look comfy for a road trip.
