1976 Oldmobile Station wagon with fake wood grain on the side in pretty decent shape. Brings back memories of growing up sitting in that rear facing 3rd seat.

Things could change and get done much faster if we just kick out all the current Politicians and clean house on the overbearing gov unions and then we could move forward with real change people could believe in.

Nice and Clean, but that is one bright red auto, shame about the exhuast and emblems being changed. The engine also looks well worn and I would have to doubt the milage on this baby. Is it me or does that funky emblem next to the clock remind anyone else of being a batman type logo? Over all JEERS for me,

Just think once economy of scale brings the cost down and people figure out how to build High Performance Electric engines, having a CTS-V with a 1L turbo Generator, electric motors at all 4 wheels, each electric motor able to put out about 200HP and a total solid torque line so you have about 800 combines hp and about the same for torque with a top speed of 160mph. That would be a screaming quite ride

With your Suburban, 13 combined MPG * 42-gallon tank = 546 miles. Yes, you can go far, but you aren't achieving anything close to good fuel economy... Fuel Economy is in the eye of the beholder. My wife was rearended twice. The first time we were in my Aunts Delta 88 at a stop light in Huntington Beach CA when a Suburban rear ended us totaling the auto and severly hurting my wife who was in the back seat. The second time was when a Washington State DOT truck was not paying attention to traffic and rear ended my wife in our Ford Escort we had for her driving required merchandising job and again got severly injured. What Price do you put on quality of life over gas milage? For me, that was the end to me having family members drive small auto's. The suburban had barely a dent to it's front metal bumper and the DOT truck according to pictures taken by WSP in their police report showed nothing but scratches to the DOT truck and yes our 2 year old escort was totaled. My wife and I would rather fill up a tank and have protective steel around us than deal with the body damage caused by other poor drivers. So from my point of view, Gas milage is all relative in relation to QUALITY OF LIFE! My wife loves the suburban for the room, comfort and the line of sight due to sitting up much higher as our suburban has a 3" lift kit. For us, we will never get rid of our full Size SUV's. Yes I know I spend far more on gas each month than the average person, about $600 a month, but it is well worth it.

Stevens pass has the recharging stations at the Ski Resort, so plug in your car and go have breakfast or lunch and watch the winter fun or during the spring and summer once the snow melts, watch the moutain biking fun while you wait to get a charge.

Boy this will truly be a battle of those with interest in big oil and those that hug their trees pushing for this. Course Big Oil has a right to be afraid as this country goes towards plug in auto's / hybrids that sip fuel, their sales and profits could faulter. I do think raising the tax credit would help to sell these types of vehicles and there should e a credit for gas companies to install other types of pumps, Natural Gas pump, Propane pumps, biofuel pumps, etc. This way business can expand and support alternative fuels and keep their business going as we change direction on what fuels our love affair with the auto. Just think, a natural gas or propane powered turbine Hybrid!!!

Way too early to make any judgement based on these pictures. But I am happy they are working on the new version.

I don't think electronic content matters quite as much as everyone is thinking. Granted it seems my generation really values a stereo that offers some sort of iPod/iPhone connectivity, but I don't think they're expecting a stereo with its own indivdual apps. +1

I know the charging issue will go down as more charging stations at 220 or 440 go in at rest stops on major roads, but there is still a considerable wait compared to fueling the auto up. Highway 2 Stevens Pass put in 2 recharg stations that you can select 220 or 440 charge and yet at 4100 feet with below freezing temp, it take a while for the plug ins to recharge.

Time for states to realize, that they need to make the land available to giv long straight or gradual curves so that High Speed Rail will work coast to coast. Some areas will have to cut through parks, some areas will have to be bought from private owners, but if they focus on a long term plan to get this done sooner rather than later, you will end up with a better lower cost mass transit system. A perfect example is the Amtrak line from Everett to Seattle curves back and forth along the water front on prime expensive property. They could purchase and create a straighter faster path and sell off the prime water front track property and get a much better transit system in place. Trains are not much different in regards to our current road systems where we tend to not plan for a more efficient way to get from point a to b. Some times this does require changing or forcing change in the layou of a town, city, suburbs, etc. We have to realize that some change in the history of the area is needed for better growth over the long run. The larger gain for all should always be taken over the protection of a few things. History is for the books and not every building, land plot or route needs to be protected.

Hopefully they will find a way to give it a more masculin look as the current jellybean is just to wimpy for me.

I totally agree with you and join you at the Cadillac Display.

This makes total business sense and can probably get the company into the black since you have more buyers for the Gen 3 than for the Roadster.

Call me spoiled as my 94 GMC suburban with it's standard tank always gets me over 500 miles and same with my escalade. Guess since I always drive big auto's with big tanks, I feel a auto should be able to go 500 miles. 260 miles in an auto just seems wrong, way to short of distance traveled between fill ups.

Watching a train of New 737 bodies going by on a train bound for Renton Boeing Plant.

Totally agree, nothing new other than a look.

Am I missing something or would it not make better sense to just put in a 1 liter generator and electric motors at all 4 wheels and get outstanding performance for a true hybrid? I would think this would be better than e-assist.

Just another reason to hold onto my old Performance Auto's since this is the last Golden Age of Big Engine Performance. Or Next Golden Age will be when we have Tuners who build Hi Performance Electric Engines / Hybrid Systems. Once we can get 500 -1000 miles on a Electric / Hybrid system with Corvette performance, then we will be into another auto Golden Era.

I know there is a tire called Credenza and I think in Japan one of their sedans has that name also. I just think they need to come up with something better than KH for their luxury auto. While I love all my caddy's, I am not a big fan of their 3 letter naming either. Most people could not tell you what they stand for. In fact without Binging or googling, I wonder how many anyone here could name for Caddy? STS = DTS = CTS = XLR = ATS = SRX = XTS = ELR = EXT = ESV = Seems Crazy to me to have all these acronyms.

Happy B-Day Chris, may you also have an Awesome Valetines day!

Saw an Original 70's era Datsun Pickup Truck. Looked like it had just been repainted and was in awesome shape.

WOW, looks better than their current dull RX, but is the Predator look really the best way to go as the new design language for them as a luxury product line? I think they will scare off their conservative dull base of customers.
