Welcome back, hope life has been good to you. Look forward to seeing you post again.

Very cool patent filing by GM, will be interesting to see if it ever gets used. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1135923_gm-patent-electric-trucks-evs-fast-charging-dual-charge-ports

I see Ram already has their first EV out!

Gotta wonder what RAM, Jeep, Dodge and Chrysler will do. Will they go the E route, new name or existing name electric like Genesis? ?

I honestly think there should be a national standard of safety inspection to keep the roads and auto's safe for all, I saw today when I ran out to get some errands done at lunch a Toyota Corolla and Honda Accord that both had front and rear bumper facia's missing and also tail/headlights missing. Driving is a privilege earned and not a right and if these people cannot keep the auto in proper working condition and safe, then those auto's need to be removed from the road. Crazy how some will drive auto's that are death traps IMHO. Saw an old Rat rod that @balthazar would have loved all in primer grey, clearly a work in progress, but at least all bumpers, lights functional and windshield wipers were working and there. ? Been a while since we have seen @balthazar posting, anyone hear from him? Hope he is all right and just busy with work.

I think this could very well work to their advantage as they phase out the ICE versions to only have electric and still a GV80 is a GV80 regardless of the powertrain. Will be interesting to see how this plays out against say the Germans that are going with new names versus the Americans that are adding an E, ChevrolEt, Mach-E, etc.

True, the tail lights are pretty cool, wonder what the cost is for replacement? ?

Actually I will have to disagree with you about their naming scheme backing them into a corner. They are very clear that the electric versions will replace the gas versions eventually and have clearly state you can get an Electrified GV or a regular (ice) GV.

Very cool read, missed this on the Cadillac Corp site, but seems LYRIQ is doing what GM wanted in getting a younger customer. https://cadillacsociety.com/2022/05/18/68-percent-of-cadillac-lyriq-buyers-are-gen-x-or-gen-y/

WOW, Missed the world premiere of the EQS SUV, but have to say MEH to this SUV as it really does nothing for inspiration. Almost as if Mercedes wants their EVs to fail. Digital World Premiere EQS SUV - Mercedes me media (mercedes-benz.com) Seems that Honda as they work to eventually bring EVs to market, will focus on making their core auto's all Hybrid soon in replacing ICE only. Seems CR-V, Accord and Civic will be made Hybrid only soon and then the Pilot BEV in 2024. Honda to Focus on Increasing Hybrid Volume with Core Models: CR-V, Accord and in the Future, Civic (hondanews.com)

We'll I guess the GV60 will have to wait as the local Genesis dealer only has GV70, 80, 90 and G90, G80 in stock. Genesis of Everett | Vehicles for sale in Everett, WA 98203 Even less in stock at the farther one away on the Expensive east side.

Very cool, would love to see if I can fit in the back and will look forward to your review. I really like the styling that Genesis has going on right now with their SUV/CUV auto's. LOL, I would happily try to fit in one with my standard test. Set the driver seat for myself in total comfort, get out and see if I can fit in the back. Will have to look to see if my local Genesis has this in stock and if so, will take the wife to snap some pictures for me. I have to disagree that this is a Ugly Coup SUV, I think it is better looking than what is coming out of Germany especially that butt ugly Porsche I poste a week ago that was hideous. Over all I would agree with you that the back leaves much to be desired and could use some work especially the weird Chrome Z effect on the C or is it a minor D pillar. That is really weird to me.

Love the Transporter movies too, they are awesome for me to enjoy! Cool info about the autos. WOW 50 to 60 auto's. I can say I have owned a total of 8 auto's to date in my life. Crazy that difference. How many have you owned Robert?

Was the BMW your brothers or parents? LOL, I for some reason thought that open barn door pic was the ranger.

Thanks, I forgot that the XT6 is a FWD based auto with AWD added compared to the others being true RWD + AWD

As you know my son has a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee and I have to say that getting into and out of his jeep is harder than either my SS or Escalade. Seat comfort is fine for short trips, have not had a chance to do any long trips in it, course my son is only 5'8" tall and 165lbs so the seats are huge for him and comfort is fine as he does many road trips and camping trips around Washington. Did find the following two reports on this topic. 12 Most Comfortable SUVs | U.S. News (usnews.com) This Year's Most Comfortable SUV Front Seats According To Consumer Reports (motorbiscuit.com) Which is interesting as Consumer Reports wants to charge for seeing this info. lol

@ccap41 @Robert Hall Ya guys got me thinking and so while Cadillac did not have a true side profile pic, I was able to grab the following off the Cadillac and Lincoln web sites to compare the side profile of the three, LYRIQ, XT6 and AVIATOR. Interesting how the Aviator and Lyriq have what looks like a longer hood line in comparison to the XT6 and as Robert pointed out, the XT6 does sit higher than the other two.

Cool to see that there are comparisons coming out now and I like where Cadillac is in position at this point. Cadillac Lyriq Vs Audi e-tron, Tesla Model Y, Volvo XC40 Recharge (insideevs.com) Interesting to see and good that Cadillac dealers are posting comparison of the LYRIQ to Tesla. Tesla Model X Vs.

I am so excited for She Hulk on Disney + She is freakin HOT HOT HOT!

@Robert Hall Is that a black BMW sedan in front of the Ford Ranger and a Suburban in front of it?

This is an excellent question as I am not a fan of the current seats in the new Escalade which seem to be flat and hard as a rock for such an expensive SUV and yet I am seeing flat blah seats on all auto's as of late. ? I wonder if there is a seat comfort index out there, gonna have to look into this myself as I love my Escalade for road trips, but would not be thrilled in a new 2022 Escalade as I think the seats suck. I can say that my sister in her 2019 Buick Envision as an in home nurse in Rural Upper Western Washington is in her CUV about 200 to 300 miles a day and loves it for comfort.
