    https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/08/business/tesla-new-chairwoman-elon-musk.html NY times is the first one to report this, but seems others have also already. https://www.tesla.com/blog/announcing-robyn-denholm Robyn Denholm, Tesla’s new chairwoman, has an extensive background in technology. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/tesla-says-robyn-denholm-of-telstra-to-be-new-board-chair/2018/11/08/46a13b4a-e32e-11e8-ba30-a7ded04d8fac_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.5cc3cebe4e57 https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-board-of-directors-full-list-elon-musk-chairman-replacement-2018-8 http://www.laht.com/article.asp?ArticleId=2469124&CategoryId=12396

    @Robert Hall @ykX @Drew Dowdell Finally HD released a current video of the production Livewire and you can hear their patented sound. I have to say that baby boomers wanting their loud ear hurting sound will probably not like this, but I can see a ton of 20 to 50 year olds who would like it. I truly think this will bring in a new generation of riders to the HD family.

    Moving EV production to Emden would also help to lower cost. The German Unions are killing profitable auto building in Germany as the cost of labor is crazy high. I just hope we see these EVs in the US too and not just Europe and China.

    I am liking this, I am only 30 now.

    Be it an EV, Plugin or just a nice properly done mid engine halo car for Cadillac, I am excited by this.

    @ykX @Robert Hall I am excited by the HD Livewire bike. Very cool for them and I truly hope it does pull in the younger crowd as like Robert stated, the pool of baby boomers is getting smaller and smaller and people are not wanting the open pipe loud noise bike. I do love the actual working bike on the home page of the EICMA trade show that has clear connection to the light bike in Tron. That would be fun to ride and see how it handles. I am also amazed at how many electric bikes are coming out. GM getting into the electric pedestrian bike is cool I think. https://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/home.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2018/nov/1102-ebike.html

    Have to say this is a cool ad I never saw since I never watch the Superbowl. Have to say I like this ad, so I went out to check out if it is a real company and sure enough it is. https://www.archmotorcycle.com/

    Would that not be the 4 door muttang that Ford has talked about?

    Yea, I could see the GLS diesel, but I doubt a G-Wagen would be there. LOL

    I have seen that too at Evergreen Speedway here that the bulk of the auto's hauling the race cars are Escalades, Navigators, Yukon XL or Suburbans. I doubt anyone driving a Mercedes benz would be seen at these venues.

    Same Model and year as my escalade but this is a very common site around the PNW.

    Happy Birthday Drew, Hope you have an awesome day and evening! ? Such a young Stud at 40! Rockin it well my friend!

    This looks good, but What GMC just posted is awesome! Now that I posted this, it does have a Transformer look!

    You truly live in a warped world. Comparison was just body on frame and you brought in the GLS. Comparison was GLS to Escalade and Navigator. YOU brought this up. The Unibody lower units never were brought up till now and you are trying to put out FAKE NEWS. G63 on the MBUSA site is 7,000, the Regular G-Wagen is 7500. Talk about moving the fence posts to meet your own story.

    Ford beats Hellcat. Wonder how much is the driver skill? ? Either way, America is winning on the strip!

    GM is calling for Leadership in Zero Emissions Vehicles in the 21st century. https://www.gm.com/masthead-story/its-time-for-american-leadership-in-zero-emissions-vehicles.html Nice video, clearly GM is wanting to buck the trends of the oil companies and lead the auto industry into the future. To quote: We have a historic opportunity to make personal mobility safer, better and more sustainable. GM is calling for a National Zero Emission Vehicle program to move our country towards an all-electric, zero emissions future. Our ideas will conserve energy, reduce emissions and preserve the freedom that drives American innovation and industrial strength.

    This totally rocks, WOW, I actually like the chimes that are in the Aviator from the Detroit Symphony. 28 second into the video you hear one of the many different chimes that will be in this new CUV.

    Harley-Davidson LiveWire News Release Bike riders beware, the name brands are finally delivering their electric bikes and that starts at one of the biggest bike shows on the planet. EICMA in Milan Italy. Today Harley-Davidson announced and showed off their production bike the LiveWire. This electric bike is being built with a permanent magnet electric motor which produces a tone that increases in pitch and volume with speed, a new sound that represents the smooth, electric power of the LiveWire motorcycle and is not a speaker generated tone but a true engine tone. The LiveWire bike has a fully adjustable Showa Suspension for composed riding at the slowest speeds or in spirited open road riding. The bike has a TFT touch display with Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, music and more. The battery pack is supported by level 1 to level 3 fast charging and the dealers will have chargers on site as well as sell a Harley-Davidson charger for installation at the owners home. Harley-Davidson also stated that by 2022 every model line will have a full electric version bike to sell along side the ICE bikes. The LiveWire bike goes on sale next year and full details on HP, torque, pricing and pre-ordering will be released in January 2019. The future of Harley-Davidson here.

    Just looked online at MB web site, the G-Wagen AMG G63 is rated at 7,000 lbs or 500 lbs less than the GLS. I totally agree with you that a GLS driver will be sweating bullets trying to tow compared to a Navigator L or Escalade ESV owner.

    https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1119738_elaborate-engine-variable-compression-infiniti-yields-small-efficiency-gains Seems all the testing has failed to prove this engine lives up to it's promise. Seems Variable compression engines are a paper dream come true, but reality is that the engines just do not deliver so far. Turbo charging has FAILED to deliver the promise of High MPG with V8 Performance at the same time. You have ECO or Performance, but not both together.

    Two different kind of buyers. MB buyers probably never think of an RV trailer, road trips or any real towing, they have their status of driving a GLS and then fly away to a vacation and pay to use toys on location. Escalade and Navigator buyers tend to think of road trips, towing, be it RV trailers, boats, PWC, ATV, etc. here on the west coast I never see an MB off road or towing. Yet I see plenty of Navigators and Escalades towing. MB just ticked off a check box for a we want Torque to be XYZ. In reality, they know their buyers never probably tow. I doubt you ever would ask yourself, but people who do think about towing will tend to take body on frame over unibody everyday.

    Let me correct that for you, a very small select group of people like mini. The majority of Americans want something much bigger.
