Krispy Kreme is awful, a mouth full of Lard spilled all over. Had one when it was hot and off the production line, thought it was good, went back to have another out of the box a couple hours later as the family was traveling. Tasted and felt like I would imagine when you try to take a bite out of a pile of cisco lard. Hard pass on donuts. Just do not get the appeal, I imagine for the french they would rather have a croissant than a doughnut.

Cadillac News: Cadillac Lyriq Gives Us Our First Peek Into GM's Electric Dreams
Agree, over all I think it looks good, I kinda wonder if they felt the upper half of the rear is what would be tweaked based on consumer feedback and could end up being more upright SUV like. Honestly, like Rivian, I think Cadillac could easily have a more upright 1990's like Suburban rear back and dump the stupid Coupe type rear end. Something like this: Agreed, The Hummer by GMC should have been shown before this as it is supposed to be on the dealer lots next summer.

FYI, I gave it a confused look as the auto is confused and does not know what the hell it wants to be. Talk about just one of the weirdest auto's out there. But then what do you expect from a Dictatorship country where freedom of expression is so limited.

Football fans who love football QB Brady can now have a chance to own his Escalade as he puts the custom ride up for sale. Seem Sly Stallone is also putting his Becker Escalade up for sale.

Cadillac News: Cadillac Lyriq Gives Us Our First Peek Into GM's Electric Dreams
EQC, EQS, are as much vaporware as the LYRIQ at this point. The EQE has not been seen or even probably started to be designed yet since they have had to delay their current 2 EV's. GLB is a cheap update of an existing model. They still cut 7 models from their lineup. They have clearly stated more cuts are coming. The days of enthusiast auto's and niche builds are over in this current pandemic global business world. MB, the Toyota/Chevrolet of Germany is now hurting and has done what the others did, overextend in building niche auto's that no longer can be supported by current sales. MB will be shrinking the portfolio considerable over the next 18 - 24 months.

Off-roading in an EV SUV is already proving to be superior to an ICE auto. Better crawl mode and decent control with electric motors. The Monochromatic Z71 would be awesome with a large Frunk and better control plus nice and quiet.

A thing has been done....
Hi Drew, I know most of the smart head units now have theme that allows you to choose the background image. Reading the owners guide for my head unit which I have never changed the default theme, it would seem that you can do this. I will test it it on my system this week and let ya know. My habit is to remote start the auto, unlock, get in and plug in my phone and the first thing I see is the Android screen, so I honestly have not looked to see what it does when you manually start the auto. I will test this and let you know.
