I will say that I have always set the ground rules when I visit a dealership. I tell the salesperson right up front what I want to do, how I want to do it and the space I need to do it. I no longer feel harassed as I make the rules very clear and if they break them, I move onto another dealership. Many options for buying an auto out there and if one dealership is a PITA, move on and give your money to the place that will respect you and earn it.

Probably would not be Desperate if they actually advertised the auto with a decent marketing plan so people know about the auto. In fact IDIOT FORD, Needs to reduce the advertisements for their trucks and put some of the bucks into the other product sections. I have not seen anything on any Ford car, CUV or Lincoln auto around Seattle, but plenty for their truck. Sad

I still think there will be a consolidation in the auto industry as we have to many auto manufacturers. With China coming on, there is a glut storm coming.

Amazing how many people will support a piss poor company of garbage products.

Just as MB depends on Europe eating up all the E-Class as Taxis and America to over pay on so called Luxury auto's, Cadillac has China and as such, China will be a bigger market as we all know than the US now. China is Key and if China can support 4 or 5 cars, then having them here is just a by product and bonus to us.

Seems according to the NextGreenCar.com site that BMW has confirmed the start of work on the production i4 sedan which will have a 435 mile battery pack as well as the iX3 SUV with a 300 mile battery pack. Supposedly the iX3 will be shown at the Beijing motor show next month. Story also goes onto say that the new i8 Roadster and i8 coupe will go on sale starting in May of this year with the 4th generation of their eDrive Technology. Plug-in hybrids have gained 40% more pure EV range. 5th generation of eDrive will make the i Family of autos with battery ranges from 342 miles to 435 miles.

Opel Parent is already moving everything Opel to their Peugeot platforms. There will be nothing similar to anything from GM so why try and bring disaster with bad history here to America. Plus I would have to think GM had a clause in there about how long before or if they could even bring Opel to America to sell. Better to bring a name plate that actually has positive customer experience. DS

Compared to ALL Traditional TT V8 motors, the PUSHROD is Smaller packaged, weighs less and takes up less Space. Cadillac took a totally different approach and put both Turbo's in the Valley of the V so rather than be on the outside of the motor, it is in the center. Electronic Turbo's do not need the pulley to drive them and can be packaged for a tight design something that another member had brought up long ago in the original start of debate about Pushrod versus DOHC motors. Yet NO ONE not even MB has packaged them this way to be tightly integrated. This is truly a change in thinking to package and drop the added weight of the plumbing, belts, etc. Truly a more efficient design now that materials and computer programming have dealt with the Thermal issues. Will all be nothing once AWD EV with proper battery packs takes over.

Very Cool, my vote went to V.1 Both are nice, but I like the bigger fatter letters.

I totally remember those as My grandma had one in California with those color matched rims. Loved that car.

I myself have never had Facebook. Instagram and LinkedIn are the only social media I have.

Tesla and SpaceX Facebook accounts Deleted by Elon Musk Musk Tweets What is Facebook as he has deleted his Tesla and SpaceX accounts. Seems Facebook is not reliable, safe or should even be used anymore. http://money.cnn.com/2018/03/23/technology/elon-musk-facebook/index.html http://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-deletes-tesla-spacex-facebook-pages-2018-3 Business insider expands on the story by pointing to 2016 when a SpaceX rocket that was supposed to launch a Facebook Satellite blew up costing Facebook millions. Some interesting reads and challenges. What do you think?

Mini hey day is over. Those that wanted a cracker jack box sitting on the ground have them, the bulk of people want an auto that carries their stuff, friends and fits into an active lifestyle. The only one they have that does that is the Countryman that sits up higher and is a bit bigger inside. I can see them still having a model below this, but I think Mini needs to either grow some bigger versions or plan to accept limited sales to limited people.
