    Someone punched it in the nose and now it has a smashed face. South Korean Gov is a tax credit, local provincial govs are giving refunds. Their goal is to flip the country which is the size of Mississippi, Indiana, Minnesota or Portugal or Hungary to being ICE free by 2030 for NEW AUTO Sales with the goal of having all ICE Auto's off the road by 2075. Exceptions are for Class 8 semi trucks / commercial use. I honestly can see them going this way, same for Japan and China.

    Seems the Feds are Loosing the EPA MPG battle as Colorado according to this story has become the 10th state to sign onto the California ZEV mandate and will follow CARB for auto efficiency. https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-evs-colorado-joins-ca-zev-program/ At the rate states are joining California, Said state will be calling the MPG shots with Auto companies rather than the feds. Seems Korea has decided that the country needs to change over to EVs faster than fast and as such, the Federal Gov of Korea is giving a $7,400 rebate for EV purchase and the provincial govs are giving another $9,100 incentive and as such, the Tesla 3 is now booking reservations super fast as people plunk down their $1,000 reservation fee to buy a $26,500 tesla 3. https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-3-price-under-27k-south-korea/ At this rate, Tesla will be keeping their Gigafactory 3 in China and the US at full production for a while. Japan according to the Tokyo news is also considering incentives for EVs that would also cover outside of the country EVs such as Tesla.

    Call it my personal BITCH, but I have to agree with a point that @balthazar has made over and over about style, consistency and sticking with what people have come to know of a brand over multiple generations. With that statement said, I have to say that right now Cadillac is FAILING to build on that luxury consistency. The XT6 clearly looks like a re-badge of the Chevrolet Blazer. The CT5 headlights are not consistent with the CT4 or CT6. I get the feeling that they are rushing to fill in product gaps due to the lack of progress by Johan and instead falling back to the old stupid 80's / early 90's of cheap ass re-badge and these two photos tend to reinforce it for me. Then you have the multitude of stories like this that say this is Cadillac's last chance to become and hold onto the distinction of being a luxury leader. https://www.thedrive.com/news/26086/gm-president-says-cadillac-has-one-chance-at-an-american-comeback Right now the current leader as a long term GM leader is NOT HITTING the Home runs to make Cadillac a comeback Luxury marquee. I really hope that the next Escalade and EV that they bring to market does this as right now the XT /CT mess is a failure to me. ?

    My condolences ocnblu, cancer sucks and affects way too many people than it should. Sending positive energy your families way to fight and win against it.

    Yup nice looking ride, but way too small for us big guys. Gotta get that special extra slick lube to slide into and out of it!

    Every time I get an escalade loaner for taking mine in for service, the first thing I do is turn off the stop/start feature. I honestly would rather not have that disruptive feature rumble through a luxury auto let alone any auto. Not found one yet that is silky smooth and not noticeable.

    Picking up the wife at a friends house and this lovely Ford Fairlane 500 in mint condition was parked out front. @balthazar I never have really understood if this was just a node to boating or if there was a real reason for the rear deck on either side of the spare tire. Enlighten me Yoda of all things old!

    Both of my Grandfathers who lived into their late 90's always told us grand-kids the following motto: "Learn from History so that you do not repeat the mistakes of the past. Draw INSPIRATION from the past to make a better future by ongoing learning and strive to contribute to bringing a better quality of life to humanity!" Both were Marines who fought in WWII and a few other theaters and always felt the biggest mistake is when we cannot help humanity to have freedom and move forward into the future. Living in the past with stagnate ways of doing things is death to humans. My inspiration is to always find new ways to help others and improve quality of life. Technology has done that and with it many others have drawn inspiration to help people have a better quality of life. Hurrah!!! to the Future! Here is a perfect video showing why we learn from the past, move to the future and help all.

    Agree, I hope they can deliver. Interested if they are using the MB urine treatment system in the exhuast or just how they are getting these cleaner emissions. Being a 2.0L size engine also tells me that they must have figured a bigger engine delivered something that smaller size does not even with a turbo.

    Very respectable rating, should do well for them. I do wonder if this will be the last Hurrah for Diesel trucks as Electrics start coming to market. After what Ford showed with a 1.25 million ton pull in their AWD electric F150 I would think that Diesel days are limited to the next 20 to 30 years.

    That roof line says I have little headroom for people over 5'6" tall. ?

    Assumption is what you made and the first 3 letters is what a person is when they make those Assumption's about a person. I DO NOT hate convertibles or any open top auto and just because I have a Silicon nose bridge and my cheeks from my face now cover my nose due to cancer, I still do not hate them or being out in the sun. I am more cautous about being in the sun, but there is really only ever been a real convertible and that was built in the early years when size did not matter and you could have a real convertible and @balthazar has shown us many lovely REAL convertibles. The only one I really love and was driven by the one man I have always drawn inspiration from Arnold Schwarzenegger is this: 1957 Cadillac Convertible that he has owned since he bought it. Second most lovely convertible is the Cadillac Convertible Eldorado he drove in his 1985 movie Commando: Even though it was FWD. Course I have always had a soft spot for this lovely Cadillac Convertible: 62 series Cadillac Eldorado Convertible. In regards to the Dakota pickup truck convertible, it was a cool concept poorly executed and they could have done much better if they wanted.

    Another perfect slayed out explanation as to why Costco with their set prices have surpassed many dealers to become one of the largest dealers. People hate to deal with the haggle of sales at less than reputable dealerships.
  16. G. David Felt
    I used to think it was cool but the more I look at the Dakota Convertible Pickup truck that Dodge made in limited production, the more I realized what a waste of resources they spent. I bet most of those trucks had to be sold at a loss.

    Seems the 2019 eCOPO Chevrolet Camaro Dragster is going to auction with a $425,000 to $525,000 expected auction price. There are some other lovely old auto's as well. https://russoandsteele.com/featured-vehicles/?tsauction_id=203&search_text=&run_day=&caryear=&caryearto=&showpage=1

    Seems to do very well for Bose and many other high end products. Corvette is a bargain at the MSRP price and would not only simplify the sales experience but guarantee a consistent profit margin to the dealer. End result would be a win win for both GM and the dealer.

    Full size SUV with Thors Hammer would be cool! ⚒️
  20. G. David Felt
    ? for those autos
  21. G. David Felt
    I honestly do not see why GM cannot do what other companies like Bose does that sets a price and retailers are not allowed to sell it for more or less than the stated price. The additional market markups needs to be smacked down by the auto companies and they can do this by refusing to ship them products. I get what ever the market will bare, yet at the same time if GM is truly wanting to build goodwill, then they need to control their dealers and stop the stupid price add on's. I refuse to do business with dealers like that.

    Want Crossovers yes, convertible on top of the crossover, I doubt it.

    Just the Facts please and according to the following: http://concealednation.org/2016/01/how-many-guns-does-your-state-have-a-look-at-the-numbers-plus-comparisons-to-other-countries/ This info is from the recognized statista.com web site. https://www.statista.com/statistics/215655/number-of-registered-weapons-in-the-us-by-state/ As of 2018 it would seem 43% of US households have at least one gun. Of those that do have a gun, most have multiple. https://www.statista.com/statistics/249740/percentage-of-households-in-the-united-states-owning-a-firearm/ This in comparison to the number of auto's: https://www.statista.com/statistics/196010/total-number-of-registered-automobiles-in-the-us-by-state/ According to the statistics, we have 375 million guns or equal to 113 guns per 100 people. According to the statistics, we have 272.48 million auto's registered to people in the us or .85 of an auto per person. Guns are winning ownership.

    As one that has lived in the sun but after skin cancer and a rebuild of my nose, now uses hats heavily and prefers to stay out of the sun. Pass on this convertible.

    Cute cuv for small people who want a small auto. Have to agree with @Drew Dowdell as the power seems anemic for the auto.
