Chevrolet SPEED -- The Corvette C8's little MR sibling
G. David Felt replied to dwightlooi's topic in Chevrolet
GM has also stated while ICE auto's will be here through 2030, they have clearly stated that they will move to retire ICE as they bring out EV equals. As such, I could easily see an E-ROC replacing the Z28 sooner than later and agree with you that I can see the ICE Camaro dead after 2023. At most like Dwight says, could do minor refreshes letting the current model limp along till full replaced by EV versions. -
Three months into open reservations and the first year of the 2021 model Mach e is sold out. That is 50,000 auto's sold. You can get all the details here at the Corporate Ford site. With additional info here at the Ford Sales site. Links take you right into the Mach e info. Yet Green Car Reports already took their Media kit and the News Release from those two sites and broke the multiple pages down nicely. The sales are NOT a California Bubble as Ford released a nifty map showing the Mach e sold in every state of the Nation and by the most popular color. Map at the end. Three-quarters of the Mach e sold are AWD in every state except Connecticute, Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire where the Ratio is 90%. 30% of the Mach e sold are the AWD High-performance GT edition. Ford is not releasing at this time what percentage is the First Edition Model nor how many exact units sold in each state only listing where the units have been reserved sold with the $500 deposit. Like the Interior, but would want it in one of the two tone colors rather than all black. I REALLY HOPE they have Dark Mode for that huge screen.

How often do you change your oil?
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Product Questions and Reviews
No dealership is perfect, but for me, the bulk of the work they do has not been a problem and it has been a while since I had any issues with them which they did take care of. -
Not sure where BMW thinks they are going with their Design language, but their i4 concept sedan EV is a Failure with that huge big mouth billy bass grill. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/03/03/bmw-i4-electric-car-concept-details-first-look/#slide-2213559 Hyundai Prophecy EV Concept sedan says Tesla / Porsche to me. Nice and way better looking than the BMW mess above. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/03/03/hyundai-prophecy-concept-electric-car/#slide-2213756

SS Synthetic every 7K miles or about every 90 days. Escalade is once a year Synthetic based on my current driving habits for road trips and garage kept. All the other auto's are also synthetic following a 7K change based on driving. -

Chevrolet SPEED -- The Corvette C8's little MR sibling
G. David Felt replied to dwightlooi's topic in Chevrolet
I really like and think Cadillac should have a 2 door performance auto. Yet with that said, right now, I would like Cadillac to get a full Luxury focused Car / SUV / CUV portfolio before attempting to do another V edition 2 door auto. Once they get a proper full depth auto portfolio, then I would say yes to them moving into a Performance Halo auto. -
As much as I and others have our own thoughts on Politics, lets keep this focused on Auto's please.

Like the days of Rome so are the end of various languages as humanity moves towards a single communication language. English seems to be the defacto business language and science language. According to Babbel which I see both Google and Bing point to as the #1 authoritative language we have the following Top 10 most used languages in the world. Chinese - 1.3 billion native speakers Spanish - 460 million native speakers English - 379 million native speakers, 753 million secondary speakers Hindi - 341 million native speakers Arabic - 315 million native speakers Bengali - 228 million native speakers Portuguese - 220 million native speakers Russian - 153 million native speakers Japanese 128 million native speakers Lahnda (western punjabi) - 118 million native speakers Top ten languages most spoken by people who speak them, we get a different list. English - 1.132 billion speakers Mandarin Chinese - 1.117 billion speakers Hindi - 615 million speakers Spanish - 534 million speakers French - 280 million speakers Standard Arabic - 274 million speakers Bengali - 265 million speakers Russian - 258 million speakers Portuguese - 234 million speakers Indonesian - 199 million speakers https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/the-10-most-spoken-languages-in-the-world

Crazy, went to Costco to get a few things and the lines were unbelievable like it was xmas x 10. All the TP was sold out, paper towels, so much stuff in the freezer and meat section. It was like people are expecting an Apocalypse to happen. It honestly was crazy the amount of stuff people were buying. I can see crazy returns in a week once people get over this crazy virus hording avoiding thing going on. For those with strong immune systems, I see no problem with staying on top of washing hands, cleaning things and keeping distances from those that appear to be sick. I do think this will change the way people gather in the future.

Considering in the past the Pleather versus leather differences, cloth differences, wood versus plastic wood, etc. I have to think there will be more of a difference than what MT has to say, there has been in the past. You also have that huge super screen dash which Yukon does not get. Be interesting to see them side by side and truly compare.

That is where you are wrong, there is more than a styling difference, there is also as SMK loves to talk about on the high end of MB, interior material differences between Cadillac and GMC. Far more differences than I will waste time listing here, but there is if you really have spent time looking at the two.

Yes you could say that if you want to ignore the differences both externally and internally to the auto. That is where the rub lays, MB has to cover all versions from Eco entry level auto to uber luxury auto and tends to try and charge a premium for a plastic coated auto at the bottom level when there are far better auto options out there. SMK pushes an agenda ignoring why Cadillac DOES NOT need an auto like an XT3. So many here have stated with the other GM brands, you have the bottom end covered and Cadillac should focus on mid to full size luxury and not waste R&D resources on the bottom end served by Buick / GMC.

You have just answered your own question as to why Cadillac does not have an XT3. NO NEED since Buick has this covered and Luxury buyers are not interested in such a small micro auto. Only posers who care about a badge more than luxury comfort would buy this and while BMW and MB do not have other brands to sell, they have gone from a Luxury only to covering from cheap entry level to luxury to compete with GM Chevrolet/Buick-GMC/Cadillac. Nothing Else needs to be said.
