    CORRECTION, via multiple sources, on sale some time first half of 2021 with deliveries by the end of 2021 start of 2022. That means the EQS will either be a very late 2022 model year or early 2023. About the same time frame as the Cadillac being delivered since you can pre-order it starting this fall with a deposit, final pricing to determine cost in 2021 or so. Not much difference than what Tesla, Ford or anyone else is really doing. Same with the Hummer by GMC this fall.

    Totally Agree, none of that is CGI, it is all real compared to what MB had shown before their autoshow with the EQS. I do love how the front lights up when you unlock the auto. Interior is awesome!!!
  3. G. David Felt
    At this same stage for MB on the EQS, everything was computer simulation also, but from what they have shown we already know that the bulk of the interior is real including the dash which is from the new Escalade. This is already superior to what has been seen out of MB.

    All the writeups including the latest one from wardsauto is saying as a 2023 model year, meaning this auto will be out late spring, summer 2022 or 1 and 1/2 years away, not 2.5. If GM stays on this course, they will still deliver the LYRIQ way faster than MB has delivered the EQS.

    Diesel in Public sector cars will see their death in 2025 as Seoul Korea moves to ban Diesel in all public-sector autos. What this specifically means is that all cars, vans and mass transit fleets will have to retire to the junk yard for recycling all Diesel auto's. This will help Seoul accelerate their transition to green mobility. Seoul public sector auto fleet that consists of taxis, buses, government transit auto's makes up 64.6% of the on road auto's. This means that their "No Diesel" initiative to clean up the air for their citizens will require 3,586 auto's to be replaced by electric and or hydrogen version auto's. Seoul Korea is working with carmakers on development of Fire trucks, Ambulances, cleaning vehicles, garbage trucks, etc. to finish replacing the last of the public sector auto's that make up the current total fleet of 1,567 auto's in Seoul. In all they are looking to replace 5,153 public sector diesel auto's. Seoul is also introducing 4,000 additional electric and hydrogen buses by 2025 in expanding the fleet to help reduce private auto's on the road and speed up moving people around. The government says they are on track to have 30% of the diesel buses replaced with e-buses by the start of 2023. They are also increasing public awareness via various campaigns on the benefits to the publics health by replacing diesel with EV / Hydrogen. https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20200731007900315

    Seems Biden, a GM Corvette fan might have let slip that a C8 Electric Corvette is being worked on and coming with a 200 plus MPH top speed. Seems the presidential candidate believes that an EV market could revitalize the US Auto industry in ways that have not been accomplished with ICE. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1129154_biden-200-mph-electric-corvette-us-can-own-the-ev-market

    But is that a bad thing? Logically we have Buick doing what it should and that is mid level luxury to entry level high end. At this point, why not have Cadillac be that TRUE LUXURY brand. I see no reason for Buick and Cadillac to fight it out in the same 30 to 60 K range.

    Daimler has entered Phase two of expanded Heavy Duty EV semi truck testing in Germany. https://www.just-auto.com/news/daimler-starts-second-phase-of-ev-heavy-truck-tests_id197096.aspx

    Yet I doubt the majority here myself included could tell these were E class and not S or C class. Having Family DNA is one thing, having all levels of a product line blur into each other is another. MB has blurred all levels badly.

    What depressing auto news happened today Balthazar? Sorry Drew to hijack the thread, just wanting to hear what happened.
  14. G. David Felt
    OK, trying to NOT overthink this, Jeep Grand Cherokee which model year has the 3G Uconnect system.
  15. G. David Felt
    ? So just found a writeup on how to identify your Ford 3G, 4G and 6G alternators. https://alternatorparts.com/ford-type-3g-4g-6g-series-high-output-alternators.html That makes me think an F-150 Crew cab pickup with a trailer hitch for his rack to hold his bike.
  16. G. David Felt
    The 3G makes me think Escalade EXT which had 3G cell connectivity. ? Wonder what other auto's in that list had 3G........
  17. G. David Felt
    So the MB GLS?
  18. G. David Felt
    So what is your guess???????????????? ?
  19. G. David Felt
    While they are blah you can at least truly tell them apart unlike the MB stable. Perfect case in point, one cannot tell which model is which here. This is just terrible, worse styling differentiation ever!
  20. G. David Felt
    Durango, GC, F-150 or EXT all have 8 with no turbo. I am guessing F-150 with my Backup being Durango.
  21. G. David Felt
    ? Cadillac XT6 Cadillac Escalade EXT Chevrolet Avalanche Ford F-150 Crew Cab Mercedes-Benz GLS/GLE Jeep Grand Cherokee Dodge Durango OK, we got our list for people to vote on since Drew has confirmed it is one of these. ????
  22. G. David Felt
    So true, I had forgotten about that. H'mmmmmmmmmmmmmm I wonder!!!
  23. G. David Felt
    That is the weirdest configuration for a FOREST SERVICE TRUCK.
  24. G. David Felt
    Yup, They should then call it a concept for consumer feedback on the styling rather than a show car for production. GM is not the only one here that shows stuff off IMHO way too early from Production. I wish everyone would show concepts for getting feedback from the Public, but keep actual production auto's to no more than 12 months out from release. I think this would be better public perception.

    Totally agree with this, if this LYRIQ is on a ride height as the CT series, it is a station wagon to me, if it is that much taller, then at least a CUV. I also agree the V90 is a station wagon where the XC90 is a CUV.
