  1. Just under the top price, but I would be happy with this!
  2. So then you will have those that are all about the badge saying why should I get the higher end versions when it looks like the cheap CLA? Saving money, I am driving an MB. Those in the 100K class and above are probably not ever looking at the low end models and could care less.
  3. When Karma goes back into production and available this summer supposedly, I wonder how this will impact Tesla and their bland auto styling. Karma Automotive Will anyone care that it came from the defunct Fiskar Karma automotive? What about these other companies who all have anounced they would go into production by summer 2016 with availability by end of 2016 in the US. Detroit Electric Spirra EV Supercar Rimac One EV We are in interesting times!
  4. Posting this here to keep all things BOLT together.
  5. ^ +1 agree with what surreal says.
  6. I question if this is really a competitor to the CT6 or will even in Black Level Trim be that luxurious. I do like what I am seeing at the gallery Continental Gallery So far, hate me if you want but I have not been impressed with Lincoln fit n finish and interior room. For the pricing, they better be delivering on the goods otherwise this will blow up in their face.
  7. G. David Felt Staff Writer Alternative Energy - www.CheersandGears.com Apple Car Boom or Bust? So the question has to be asked of forum members, is this iCar a boom or bust for Apple and is this what the millennial crowd wants? Being that Apples biggest market is the millennial crowd I am wondering if this brick of a self driving electric auto is what they really want. Steve Jobs originally stated that Apple would work on an iCar and we ended up with this released drawing: Motor Trend had an exclusive first look at the iCar and this is what they ended up building: MT 13 Cool Features Story MT Industry Insiders Opine on Apple Car MT Apple Car Lie Down Till it Passes - Why they should NOT enter the auto industry. MT Apple Car Exclusive - Game Changer? MT Apple Car - But will you Love it? MT Tech Design experts Talk Apple What are your thoughts? Boom or Bust?
  8. I have wondered about the same thing and have not found anything that shows the 35 million bonus that went out to the CEO who then stepped down a few months later was returned. I doubt it.
  9. For some reason the jpeg didn't show up.. but all fixed See it now! WOW that is one ugly luxury dealership. Reminds me of Cadillac old dealerships and they suck. Yea I love my cadillac dealership as the people are awesome, but the building that was an old Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Hummer dealership and now just Cadillac but really needs to be rebuilt. I really wish Cadillac NA would step up to the same level of service Cadillac is touting in China. http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/f13/cadillac-treats-chinese-shoppers-vips-sales-up-62-a-49883/
  10. Am I missing something or do I not see a MB dealership in the above post? ^^^^^
  11. The top dealership is what I would like to see for all Cadillac dealerships. The bottom is nice but also says dated. I like the top flow and look.
  12. Unions have this right, at this point NO BONUS should be paid out as VW is clearly not selling like they used to and they lied to the point of clearly hurting the company world wide. All Bonuses should be canceled for 2015 and 2016.
  13. While I love the stand alone dealerships, I do wonder about this as I am seeing more and more MB dealerships that also have Sprint and Smart cars on them as MB seems to be going to this one stop all dealerships. Makes one wonder if BMW will be doing this as they move to have BMW/Mini in one building. Personally I love the stand alone Dealerships we see in China. Cadillac does need this also. I love my Doug's Northwest Cadillac, the people are great, but the dealership is an old Cadillac, Buick and Oldsmobile building that is now only Cadillac. Luxury this does not say to me!
  14. Very true, the CT6 is a competitor to the E-Class and can compete fine there. The CT8 will come in the future once Cadillac fills out their portfolio.
  15. 225 mile range based on the 9hr charge time and battery capacity posted to date. We have learned so much and now know that this EV will be a real product hitting dealer lots at the end of this year. Cargo Capacity.
  16. Just read on Tesla's web site that the Tesla 3 will be a 0-60 auto at 6 sec. The Chevy Bolt has been stated 0-60 under 7 sec. So this is going to be a very interesting battle on how they truly end up hitting their numbers. One area that BOLT beats Tesla 3 is in Interior capacity. The BOLT has been stated now as with the back row folded down you get 56.6 cubic ft of cargo capacity. Tesla is estimating 50 cubic ft of cargo with the rear trunk, seats folded down and the small trunk in the front. This is going to be an interesting story to watch as GM and Tesla push getting their auto's out into the market place.
  17. Interesting story on why GM will beat Tesla. http://www.newsweek.com/2016/04/22/tesla-general-motors-electric-car-sales-model-3-chevy-bolt-447054.html This will be a wait and see for me.
  18. Bummer, but totally understandable. I really hope the BOLT takes off and GM can expand production and expand auto options. Here I think GM needs to take a page out of Tesla Playbook and build a Chevy Roadster EV! This would then require a major investment in the plant.
  19. Gotta say this is a classic song that is so enjoyable to listen too!
  20. New Tesla S Tesla 3 Both need some Auto Style Plastic Surgery especially compared to the other EV companies releaseing this summer.
  21. SO BMW lost the Driving Machine to America, Especially Camaro and Mustang so they milk their hardcore fans by doubling the M price. Got it!
  22. No offense taken guys, I consider myself a manly man and love my V8 Powered AWD Trailblazer SS. With that said and those that know me know I have all SUVs with V8's. Just the future is cool and I do see us eventually going to EVs. They are cool and in time with tuning and engineers pushing the limits we will see EVs surpass the petrol motor I believe. Here is my baby all cleaned up for Spring!
  23. But it will never sound as good as a LS engine. Electric and even the Turbo 4 engines as good as they are will never live up to the sound of a good old V8. Just watch the video of he Venom setting the convertible speed record as it passes by. No Tesla would ever sound that good. Not so sure about that, but this Worlds Fastest Electric Corvette has that lovely Jet sound as it sets a new world record.
  24. YAWN, This is a bland boring auto. No interest at all.
