Something out of a Stephen King Book!

Buick Envision is awesome, My sister has one and loves it.

I thought like a year or two your mom got a new car. already the lease is coming up? Here are some choices: Cayenne Orange Metallic Bolt Cayenne Orange Metallic Sonic Hatchback Orange Burst Spark Trax has no orange available. Cayenne Orange Metallic Equinox LS Blazer does not have Orange. That pretty much is all you have in Chevrolet.

I hope Cadillac does not go the way of German Luxury, 95% leases since no one can really afford them or maintain them.

Got it, so you will not allow yourself to be cloned.

Such a W I D E Ass!

I do not see 1997 myself in this truck.

Wonder how close the EV version will look to this? ?

Wonder what the circumstances were, did they not set their brakes? Seems maybe they were expecting auto parking and just drove on and left it in drive? So weird as it looks very calm. RIP

But rock n roll is so much fun. ?

Considering I have never seen one in the wild on the west coast and only at the autoshow, I guess it is an East coast auto. ? Toyota Quality! ?

Love my current rides, next one will be an EV for the wife. Rivian, Lordstown, depends on what the existing OEMs have to offer. Right now, probably 2023 at the earliest in buying an EV since battery production, parts production, etc. need to ramp up before we have variety out there. I could possibly see us getting a Mach e GT AWD.

Awesome, I love Snow! Interesting news, seems the Germans are about to have a major upheaval in the auto industry assembly work as of the 830,000 jobs, they said the conversion to global EV auto's which require much less assembly line jobs will affect the stable middle income career path that many have enjoyed for years. At least 10% reduction in jobs is expected over the next 10 years and then even heavier job cuts after that. Seems the Unionized jobs are going to take a hit as Germany will have to deal with a reduced need in factory space and https://www.thedrive.com/tech/32260/the-danger-is-growing-for-germanys-auto-industry

Who knew, the Prowler was originally built using a Wrangler body for testing the mule. Called the Prangler. https://www.thedrive.com/news/31826/that-should-fit-how-chryslers-legendary-jeep-wrangler-plymouth-prowler-test-car-came-to-be

Have not seen any sprinters here yet, they all seem to be the Ram Vans. Have not seen a Ford either for Amazon Prime.

Seems Green Car Reports is stating that GM plans to reveal the first Cadillac Electric vehicle this April. We get to see the Hummer by GMC EV Truck in May. We will get more information in March about their new BEV3 platform. GM also just announced that their auto apps will report dynamic real time status from EVgo and ChargePoint charging along with if a station is available. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1127179_gm-adds-real-time-charging-station-smarts-via-app-to-chevy-bolt-ev

BMW seems to be moving faster on getting all their products Hybrid PHEV as they introduce for sale their new RWD/AWD 330e sedan. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/02/20/bmw-330e-touring-xdrive-awd-rwd-phev/

Autoblog caught mostly uncovered the new Mercedes-Benz EQA and EQB EV CUVs. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/02/20/mb-eqa-eqb-spy-photos/#slide-2210768 MB seems to be following their same Blah jelly bean styling of these auto's, should blend in with the ICE side of the family. The Story also states that the EQC on sale in North America will not happen now till some time in early 2021 at the earliest. It is believed to be due to the construction of a Battery assembly line in the US holding up the EQC from going on sale here. Cost of shipping an EQC here is much higher for some reason, could be due to the weight.

Seems Mercedes Benz is hurting more than people have been led to believe. According to this news story: https://www.autonews.com/executives/daimler-retools-management-mercedes-benz-van-units Daimler CEO is flattening mgmt. lines of communication to get things done faster and more efficient. Their struggling Van division will be led by the CEO as he has shown the door to the leadership team as Diamler looks for ways to turn around their van sales around the world. Daimler CFO will take over the MB CFO position while retaining the Daimler CFO position to review and improve their financial standings. All Projects will be reviewed as MB moves to become a Leading EV auto company. As such, there is a good chance that power trains, trim lines, models etc. could be retired / cut to stream line the company to optimize profits. Is this the beginning of a reduction in model types, model variations? Could Be.

Bacon baked Mac n Cheese Now where did I put the Bacon? ?

You Said Yugo and Sporty in the same sentence. ?

YEA, Those Chevrolet ads with anonymous people talking about their surprise at the Chevy products did NOT inspire me. It was too canned and staged for me.

Much better, but still not inspired, the female voice is so flat and unexcited. It is as if they have a person who loves Lexus trying to sell Cadillac. WHERE IS THE PASSION? That is missing from both of these commercials. I remember the commercial that had and projected true emotion of I want to check out that auto. Recardo Montalbon. There are others, but we need people who can project passion and sell the auto even if you do not care for the auto. This has always stuck in my mind as he did an outstanding job of selling the auto with passion.

Thank you for posting, very interesting. SAD, Have to say that is a YAWN of a commercial. I am not inspired by it. Sounds and Feels very mechanical and forced. No passion for the performance luxury auto at all in the voice they use. The commercial just leaves me wanting. Sad ?
