Weird, but I can see maybe the release being there and I wonder why JD Powers on their 2017-2018 auto show list does not list Chicago. I totally forgot about it. Maybe the crime families did not pay JD off! Weird, must be the size thing as this is not on the JD Powers auto show list either.

I disagree, there have been captain chair bench seats that are very luxurious and gives you that option of having the mid seat. For me having individual captain chairs here is fine and I would like that with a center stack between the chairs but the open space in the foot area. The two rear passengers should be able to easily get out either door and not have to step over a center wall divide. All you stated and the story states it will have can be done without having to have the wall there. This can still be very luxurious with two captain chairs and no center wall in the foot area.

I have searched and not found any firm dates, but we only have the following shows left: Baltimore 2/8/18 - 2/11/18 I expect nothing here. Dallas 2/14/18-2/18/18 I can see the Sierra being launched here in Texas. GMC product launch makes sense to me. Minneapolis/St.Paul 3/10/18-3/18/18 I expect nothing here. Atlanta 3/21/18-3/25/18 New York 3/30/18 - 4/8/18 I expect Cadillac, might have GMC too. Birmingham 4/12/18 - 4/15/18 Austin 4/20/18 - 4/22/18 Nothing at the last 3 as they have never been release shows.

Yea, time to rebuild and modernize the cities and roads, history in the books and stop trying to save every bloody road and building. Europe needs a massive revitalization as their cities stink, roads stink, the best place is Germany for Driving but even then crazy nut jobs want to still also save every freaking old building. Everything has a lifespan and needs to be replaced eventually. Moron nuts in Seattle are trying to get all these old late 1800's warehouse building put on the stupid preservation list to save and they just need to be torn down and built with new modern buildings as well as replace the sucky brick roads we still have in the sodo district. Talk about a nightmare equal to Detroit for pot holes and crappy auto rides.

I know it is leather but every WHITE Leather interior looks dirty and cheap fast. I have never seen any auto builder have a white leather interior that still looks good only months after use. Just the wrong color in an Auto in my opinion. I have see plenty of interiors that have had those things without the dividing wall. Rolls, Bentley, MB in the S class. I just do not see the needs to isolate people that way with the wall, my opinion on it.

Nice, I can live with a two tone interior, but the wife would hate it as it is not uniform for her OCD approach to life. My only dislike is the White Leather. What morons think White is a smart move? Talk about showing all the dirt fast, high maintenance if you want it to stay looking bright and clean, White interior is just not a smart move for the Lazy Human population. Would be nice to have a Forest Green Leather interior with a warm earth brown. dash and doors. I have come to HATE, Yup HATE these interiors that have wall dividers in the back seat. Can we isolate and separate people any more ? Even in a luxury high end interior, I just do not see the need for that center mass on top of wasted seating space.

I am really surprised that nothing has leaked yet for the New York auto show then it is very early as that show is March 30th to April 8th. So other than Cadillac, I wonder what else GM might show off at that show?

Cool, so did they have to drag it out of the garage or where you able to get it to start so you could back it out? Sucks that they put the started in such a stupid place. Reminds me of some old auto's where the oil plug was facing the exhaust pipe and if you let it flow out it would hit and could if hot ignite. Engineers can build some amazing things but also really screw up basic stuff. Thanks for sharing Drew.

OUCH, that will hurt the pocket book to have the dealer fix it or do you have a solid certified mechanic at some other garage?

What Died this time on it?

Must be reliving the years when they were making money and ignoring the auto scene. I do wonder if the cost of the autos now will ever be recovered. Must really love their old iron to pay such crazy prices.

Found this story on Jalopnik and have to say I so totally agree with the crazy auction prices on old muscles cars and custom mods. https://jalopnik.com/stop-paying-so-much-for-silly-cars-1822311324 $770,000 for a 1969 ZL1 Camaro is flat out crazy as is the $127,000+ for a Buick GNX.

LOL, Driver uses Tesla Autopilot as defense for DUI. http://www.thedrive.com/sheetmetal/17834/dui-suspect-uses-tesla-autopilot-as-a-defense-during-arrest Yes, self driving auto's should make DUI a thing of the past once it becomes standard and on every auto period, but we are not there yet and thinking you can get behind the wheel and set self driving mode is just stupid.
