    According to my cousin who did this on a Bolt, they took the Fed $7,500 and California $7,000 so they got the $14,500 off a fully loaded Bolt. Wish my state would give a rebate on top of the feds.

    The old version I love, inside needed major work, but over all I loved the exterior look. The New one is nice, but I hate the headlights with that crazy down curve design and the back quarter between the C & D pilar. Why go up and cut out window visibility? That makes no sense to me and I consider piss poor design. Love the floating roof look, but hate the small back windows. I see no reason to have done that at all. Would rather have bigger windows with more visibility.

    So you like the older Terrain over the newer version? Interesting, what does everyone else think? 2018 GMC Terrain 2016 GMC Terrain

    I believe that without Quiet steel technology and a humongous does of sound deadening material, the short wheel base just transmits all the noise. I notice that the Regular Escalade is more noisy than an ESV version. I also have relatives that own both an RDX and MDX and of course the MDX is quieter than the RDX, Have to believe less sound material is being used in the cheaper RDX.

    Clearly makes it a $45K truck in base form with the starting at $52,500 and the $7,500 fed credit. Not a bad deal.

    Only Reason Fiat has sales is cause it is a quality Miata under that skin.

    I can see this selling very well to Fed, State, County and City gov agencies as the 2200 lb bed capacity will cover the needs of parks and road maintenance. Plus the fact that the onboard generator can act as a power source working out in the field. This saves them from having to buy a generator for on sight work where no electrical plugs are easily available. I see ton's of many good uses for this truck plus the 80 miles pure is outstanding for city dwellers as they can probably mostly drive in pure electric mode.

    That is why I love my Escalade, so quiet, perfect for comfy road trips. Even buying a 2 or 3 year old version is worth it when you want a great highway cruiser.

    Totally can understand, yes clutchless shifting is hard on a transmission without experience. I learned and then rebuilt my trans, but that was long ago and no I just enjoy the experience of speed shifting.

    Very Cool I clearly see the Ridgeline in the front but F150 in the rear. What they have there is awesome. I had to laugh at their use over and over of the word unnerving. Seems the writer has not spent enough time in the ultra quiet EVs. LOL

    Very Cool, Once you get your high speed or aggressive driving shifts down, I then Challenge you to take it one step further. Learn to speed shift in your auto. That does depend on RPM but man can you fly for fast responsive changes and lots of aggressive driving fun! Not sure what I am talking about here is a good overview. http://www.ehow.com/how_2084716_speed-shift-manual-transmission-drag.html Also you can then take this one step further with clutchless shifting, timing is everything but once you learn your timing, you can shift without depressing the clutch. Your car is very cool, Rock on!

    I go with 2004, First year of SRX, CTS both were a big jump in the right direction for Cadillac.

    If Tesla is having high repair issues, that is scary as EVs are supposed to be less maintenance. I so agree with this list of 15 Most Disappointing Travel Destinations. Been to half and was totally of the feeling, this was a waste of time. http://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/article/the-most-disappointing-travel-destinations-on-earth/ss-BBABagZ?li=BBnb7Kz#image=1

    Now we know the truth about the fake extra long shifter! Just look at that break towards the top, Kinda a lorena bobbitt job?

    Very Cool Is this the mid engine stingray and they also have a traditional corvette? Or is the traditional corvette going away?

    Short and Bulbous!

    My thought is that many state, county and city gov's are wanting a EV pickup that can haul and tow short distances. This would be a perfect market for them as well as GM who ever gets there first and then you would have the public seeing these silent strong machines getting daily work done. Your right that in the mid west, this would be a hard sell, but I think the east and west coast would buy it up. Not a hybrid as GM has tried but a pure EV.

    The Bolt was a blast to drive, sadly the wife cannot get over the white V design in the dash. So that is on hold waiting for version 2.0 as we both are not impressed with Tesla design or how low their auto's sit. The Model X was not impressive to us either except for the gullwing rear doors. Not enough to justify the price.

    LOL, call it old age, but I am thinning the herd and simplifying my life. I think I will be happy with my 3 chosen auto's. 1994 GMC Suburban, currently CNG, considering conversion to pure AWD Electric. 2006 Escalade ESV Platinum edition 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer SS AWD. Wanted to get a bolt, but after driving it and the wife not liking the style of the dash, that is now on hold till they update the BOLT to a pure black dash or anything other than the funky White V they put on the dash that just shows dirt. In regards to Ford, I have to wonder why Ford is not jumping on using in wheel Hub motors to offer a Pure F 150 EV. After all 430HP & 2,350 lb-ft of torque. Talk about bragging rights to an outstanding ability of a pure EV pickup.

    Interesting conversation today at the coffee cooler at work, coworker just bought an XT5, traded in his BMW X5. He said he was really shocked when his wife said she saw it and liked the looks and thought they should check it out as a possible next auto. They liked it after test driving it so much traded in the BMW and came back to an American brand, First one in 18 years. He then went on to say that the German brands seem to have moved into a Toyota style of selling every thing cheap and not being a luxury brand any more. He liked that Cadillac does not look like the other GM products and seems only focused on luxury. Loved his experience at the Bellevue Cadillac dealership. I was shocked to hear this from a die hard BMW fan. I think Cadillac is starting to gain back the Luxury crowd and the German brands are loosing those they used to court with their badge as a luxury only brand as they introduce cheap products.

    Agreed, it will be interesting. So much more I could say here but trying my best to avoid going political. News alone makes me shake my head on what the near term future will be for this country.

    Yup, Just another reason I am holding off on buying a new auto and enjoying my paid off auto's. If I do anything, it will be a conversion of my 1994 suburban to AWD with in hub wheel motors. I so am hooked on this type of conversion after seeing what they did to an AMG wagon. Check out the work they are doing on F150 AWD and the AMG line. I have to say the HP / Torque of the F150 is crazy! http://www.proteanelectric.com/ Check out their video page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMVRVkmIAK5z2CSaowkZ1cg F150_in_the_snow.mp4 Awesome Video of Proteans AWD F150 Conversion truck.

    Convert it to EV and Enjoy some stomach pulling Torque! Just think EV, charge at home and just plain fun.
