  1. My gut tells me that the BOLT and VOLT Platforms will be used to make up CAFE what the Sonic and Spark cover, thought the Spark will probably be kept around a bit longer for entry level price point. In a City with full size SUV / Trucks, I would not feel safe in a Sonic or Spark either. Pass on them.
  2. Makes sense to take a page from Audi and simplify the platforms to FWD or AWD and have them as ICE, Hybrid and EV.
  3. Makes sense to use the platform Porsche is building and as a 4 door sedan for them.
  4. What a shame to kill such a beautiful tree and one that was hiding away so much Greenhouse gas. If it was an old truck restored, very cool, but this is just a patch work of puke who ever thought it was good. I just do not get it.
  5. So this is the last monthly report, so the next time we get sales numbers will be July for Q2 of the calendar year I believe?
  6. This makes sense especially from a performance standpoint for bonuses. It would be best for the whole auto industry to go this route.
  7. Wrong not the Floating nav screen of MB. This one has no space under it and you can see from the side it is clearly built into the dash unlike MB where it was a monitor arm to the screen, true floating. This one is based into the dash with no open area around the bottom.
  8. @Cubical-aka-Moltar Thank you for posting the PDF file. Now I can review it. Interesting that they have a Cadillac Connected Access 10yrs on the auto. Luxury, Premium and Sport are the 3 levels in this CUV. Plenty of USB and 12 volt outlets around the auto. That is good. 3 different Fascia inserts depending on the model level. Manual rake and Telescoping Steering Column on Luxury line, Upgradable on the Premium and Sport level to a power system as part of the Tech Package. This should just be there standard from day one on a luxury level auto. Seems Luxury level is awfully manual for a Luxury line auto. Seems everyone is putting in Massage seats. Wonder how long it will last before breaking? Packages I would want: Cold Weather Package Comfort and Convenience Package Technology Package Cadillac user experience with Nav system for better stereo as well as Apple and Android play Driver awareness package Driver assist package Enhanced Visibility Package Active Sport Chassis Trailering Provision Interior Seat package options are as follows: Jet Black Jet Black with Cinnamon Accents Jet Black / Platinum Light Wheat / Jet Black with Red accents Sedona / Jet Black. Exterior Colors: Crystal White Tricoat Atlantic Metallic Radiant Silver Metallic Stellar Black Metallic Shadow Metallic Autumn Metallic Red Horizon Tricoat Interesting mix of colors with trim: With Aluminum metallized trim. With Diamond Cut genuine aluminum trim. With Linear Galaxy high-gloss genuine wood trim. Requires (WPC) Comfort and Convenience Package. With Fineline Calico high-gloss genuine wood trim. With Twenty Two high-gloss genuine Carbon Fiber trim. With Morello Red high-gloss genuine Carbon Fiber trim. With Morello Red high-gloss genuine Carbon Fiber trim. Includes Jet Black accent inserts in seatback. Available at extra charge. This applies to all paints except the Radiant Silver Metallic. Interesting
  9. Some more picks at the Reveal that confirms that I like the new Dash and you can see one of the two tone interiors. Looks like the Black with Bone white. https://www.gettyimages.com/event/cadillac-xt4-reveal-ahead-of-the-2018-new-york-international-auto-show-775147374#the-general-motors-co-cadillac-xt4-sports-utility-vehicle-is-unveiled-picture-id938948406 Pre-order PDF file can be grabbed here. If someone can do it and post it that would be great, my work is blocking it. http://cadillacsociety.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/2019-Cadillac-XT4-Order-Guide-Revised-March-24-2018.pdf
  10. Nice looking sedan as sedans go and it fits the Nissan family. Should sell well for them. My only hold up is that based on past experiences, I have NO FAITH in the CVT lasting past 60-70 thousand miles. CVT is a great engineering concept, but after all these years, has FAILED to live up to its potential and traditional Geared transmissions have proven to be far superior. Big PASS on this for me due to CVT.
  11. This could be a true renaissance of Lincoln if they can bring out quickly a new product portfolio of SUV/CUVs that are done like this. Potential light after all for Lincoln!
  12. Done right, Family connection to the big momma and sharp. Could be a decent Hybrid to own. Look forward to seeing one in person.
  13. Sorry but last time I tried them I had their Philly and ended up with Food Poisoning. The Arby's around me seem to be run poorly and the health department is constantly hitting them for improper sanitation. I question if any will still be open by the end of the year. PASS
  14. Wife and I worked in restaurants during college and I know how hard the work it. Good Service deserves a good tip. My wife and I always over tip for solid good service. I agree with everyone here, as a customer, the service I get be it from a place to eat or a place to make a major purchase can make me spend more money if the end result is I want to come back. Even in the discovery phase, you always treat everyone as if they are buying right then and there. Listen to what they are telling you, ask the probing questions to get them to open up so the sales person can help you. Course I go in with a solid Idea of what I want or at least want to look at and so I value the sales persons time as much as my own. No waste.
  15. Love the modern and yet sporty look. Interior dash is outstanding. Rear lights remind me of Volvo but have the Vertical portion to clearly state Cadillac. Engine is peppy, like the mid size version of it being between subcompact and compact. The dash is very nice and I like it better than the dash in the XT5, I hope they update the XT5 for next year with this dash. I see what looks like a HUD system in the shot looking down over the dash. Very cool. HUD should be standard on all Cadillacs. Hood with the bulge in the center tell me they could easily make a V edition or at least a V-Sport. Very impressed with what I see.
  16. Looking over the pictures, I have to say the interior looks really nice, 21st century sharp. Exterior like I said has a Jeep GC vibe to it but clearly is VW. Best looking VW Auto they have put out in a long time.
  17. Yup my company has on all Microwaves seafood with a red cross out circle over it. Lucky most comply. Indian food for the most part smells good, have not had any seafood curry that was heated up yet stink up the kitchen area, but I agree some smell good some not so.
  18. Sharp looking, Like the reddish color and it gives me a very Jeep GC feel. Hopefully they have finally figured out styling!
  19. Guess the Volvo death is not stopping them from rolling out automation big time. Wonder how they will all work out. Interesting times we live in!
  20. Worst smell around is Microwaved seafood.
  21. I am really surprised that police even let auto's like this on the road. WTF, driving is a privilege, if you cannot afford to keep the auto in proper working condition, mass transit is calling your name. Very cool company that has conversion kits for older auto's to allow you to get an updated 5 or 6 speed transmission in your auto for better MPG. https://shiftsst.com/general-motors?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=**LP - NonTM | Make%2FModel&utm_term=%2BMonte %2BCarlo %2BConversion&utm_content=Monte Carlo Conversion
