Industry News: Electrics Soar In EU while Diesel Fades
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Industry News
Righttttttttttt ? Our incompetent leadership from the White house to the senate and house that has pretty much destroyed any leadership this country had left in the world with ignorant trade policies that have hurt more than helped the average American in the last 3 years. You can hate either party in the US, but the last time we actually had solid good reaching across the isle to build a budget of living within the means and paying down debt was the 90's. Right, I think the buck board in your buggy needs a new nail. While not everyone will agree with political push in one direction or another, the end fact is that government drive of technology is what has given us some amazing better ways to drive, fly, and live in this planet that needs to be saved from toxic old ways of doing things. EDUCATION IS THE GREAT EQUALIZER!!! Without pushing for the 22nd century and embracing change that looks for the good of the whole rather than the selfishness of the individual humanity flourishes. Global Trade will always have drawback as nothing will ever be perfect as humans are not perfect, yet we can learn to live together in this Multi-Cultural society that can give us so much more by reaching across with best intent and listening and speaking one's mind to find a way to agree to disagree while building better products, better quality of life and enjoying the differences that can give us all a cleaner, healthier planet to live on.- 46 replies

Chevrolet News:Chevy updates the Camaro for 2020
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Chevrolet
Probably inline with the average age of the SLR buyer. I have yet to see any of the top end AMG auto's owned by anything less than seniors. -

Zotye Says The T600 Will be Offered in the US :Comments
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Other Makes
Interesting, I would pass on the sedan at this point and focus on the hot CUV market. I honestly doubt the sedan would get much if any attention and would surly have to be sold at a loss to move it. -
Industry News: Electrics Soar In EU while Diesel Fades
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Industry News
THANK YOU @Drew Dowdell You are right Politics and even religion have a proper place when in the proper context of our Auto discussions. Electrics does seem to becoming the new bible standard of use in Europe and the mental adoption based on marketing and incentives to change seem to be getting people off the fence or out of the old toxic diesel and into the new cleaner age of EV's. Yes I understand that places that are 100% on coal produced electric are no cleaner than diesel, much like West Virgina which is still 100% coal produced electric power, yet for those places that use Hydro, wind and solar, even natural gas, so much greener, cleaner and the air smells much better. I think sadly the US is going to lose more of their edge to Europe and the Asian rim as they move forward government driven for a quieter cleaner driving experience.- 46 replies

GM News: Barra Confirms GM is Working On EV Pickup
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in General Motors

Not being a financial wizard at long term planning of a major company. At the rate of sales to costs to R&D, I wonder what the analytics would say is the year of profitability now? ? 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035????????? I bet Rivian has a better idea than Tesla, but I do wonder how long before someone buys them up.

Cadillac News: Cadillac Drops 2.0T from CT6 In the US
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Cadillac
I think @smk4565 Wants a luxury Hummer rebadged as a Cadillac so he has something real to complain about to offset the terrible G-Wagon. -

April (Fools) Carspotting - cars and/or fools
G. David Felt replied to trinacriabob's topic in The Lounge
I honestly cannot remember the last time I saw a G8 or GTO, but then cars are not very popular here compared to trucks, SUV and CUVs. -
Bought the movie, have not had a chance to watch it yet.

Computer and hardware purchase question - help
G. David Felt replied to trinacriabob's topic in Electronics & Technology
My Note 8 does not have that option anymore for removable, but then I have not ever had a freeze issue on it either so no need to do that and I now make a habit of rebooting it once a week to have it boot up clean. -

I already thought that Most of the S-Class sold in China were 4 bangers with some 6 and a few rare 8 banger motors. -

I would agree they need a truck and a Mini pickup and mid size would be best for them. Just something better looking than the mess above.- 24 replies

Lets just hope Cadillac NEVER does this Ugly Mess again from the late 70's to early 80's of the Cadillac Seville Uglies:

I am really interested in the new Nav system and how it responds, review comparisons to the German and Asians. Should be interesting along with the thoughts on the interior room and material quality. They should have made the CT5 a true 4 door sedan and then shocked everyone by showing off a true coupe like this. Or at least if not using that cool name called it an Eldorado.

Cadillac News: Cadillac Expands Big in China
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Cadillac
Excellent growth, hopefully a signs of better things to come for Cadillac in the US with more often refreshes and newer product sooner. -
Exactly why I feel the coupe things is so over done. 4 door sedans need a proper trunk look and not the jellybean with no trunk look.

Pretty much to be expected with the work on the Model Y. I think the big question is this time next year with a full year of Model 3 production and the start of Model Y if they can sustain profitability or not. That will be the key to longer term success and survival as an independent company.

Ford Invests $500M in Rivian to Gain Platform Access
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Rivian
Agreed, considering that Tesla has shown not only their Semi Concept, but a real Tesla X pulling a Boeing plane that is 265,000 pounds of weight, Electric as a HD model would do wonders for Construction sites in the inner city where quiet is appreciated early in the morning when they start work.-

So that is a dealer access order guide then only? I have never seen anything like this before, guess for rating of EPA, they list it CUV, but public knows better as a hatchback? ?♂️ I have to say that Cadillac has nailed the LOVELY Burgundy Wine Color on the CT5. This really makes it attractive.
