    Good for GM to jump on this when discovered. The IDIOT who filed the class-action lawsuit is just looking at money. The judges need to throw this out. I applaud GM for being proactive and for clearly letting the engineers bring the issue to light of day. I take this as a basic mistake that happens and not Like Mitsubishi who deceived for decades.

    Very Cool CCAP, thanks for sharing. That is a very cool Paw logo! Drew we need some Dawg Emoticons.

    Very cool, and yes I would also burn off the tires and save the money for new ones. Glad to hear you has a fine road trip.

    Tesla Blog has some amazing reading and insight into how the company is being run. While clearly this is a response to a lawsuit that Tesla was dismissed from as not being responsible for, it is interesting reading and clearly shows Tesla cares. I hope they do continue long term either as a stand alone company or as a division in one but continues to make their outstanding EV products. Tesla Response to Mercury News Story: Here Tesla Hepa Bio Hazard Filter Blog: Here Have to say that the more I read on this filter system, the more I hope other auto companies follow their lead with a superior air cabin filter system. I really like this.

    Love the Power of the Pushrod, truly an amazing engine.

    Interesting, even the Korean Car Blog could not really explain the slide that shows Near Luxury SUV and Near Luxury sedan. So Genesis is to compete against Acura, Lexus, Infinity, Lincoln as well as Cadillac, BMW and Mercedes-Benz and yet does the Near mean they also cover Buick? Going to be an interesting and confusing product line me think. Bigger yet is if in the next 4 years they can roll out 5 new luxury auto's then there should be no problem with the rate Cadillac is rolling out new models.

    Reason for using my own personal transportation, I know the condition the auto is in, I have everything set the way I like it, I am totally prepped for the long drive. Rental, makes sense if your auto is needing things done before the road trip or older and might not make it, if you have more people going and only have small auto's then I would get a bigger one. Was surprised as to how nice the Ford Explorers were on my most recent trip. If you just do not want to put the miles on your own auto then by all means rent. Personally, I will stick to my own paid off auto.

    Being one of the tallest and biggest members here at C&G you all know I drive full size SUV's as such, I always default to my own personal auto even on long road trips. I love to drive and for me driving 500 miles in a day or even 900 is no big deal. This saturday taking some friends to the Hoh Rain Forest on the Olympic peninsula to show them the awesome area.

    Correct the platform was retired and the new VOLT is now on the new Global D2XX I think is what it is called if memory serves me correct.

    Take an ELR for a test drive, you will be surprised how much force that electric motor will push you back into the comfy luxury seat they have in the ELR. They are much nicer than the VOLT, just was never worth the $ they asked. If they brought it out at the current selling price in the mid $40K's they would have done much better.

    So Volvo stays conservative and bland. Brick on wheels based on that computer drawing.

    Yea, they will do the accept blame but I am sure they are still walking away with a very nice golden parachute.

    Came across this at my local Caddy dealership. According to Brad my sales guy, the old man traded it in along with his Allante to get a single new auto for him and his wife since he can not drive anymore. They got an SRX, but the dealership has two nice clean auto's to sell. 1981 Chevy C-10 Pickup with custom engine http://www.dougscadillac.com/VehicleDetails/used-1981-Chevrolet-C10-Short_Bed_Pick_Up_350-Shoreline-WA/2762157743 1993 Cadillac Allante http://www.dougscadillac.com/VehicleDetails/used-1993-Cadillac-Allante%27-2dr_Coupe_Convertible-Shoreline-WA/2623191303

    You can find ELRs with under 5k miles on them for about 50% off sticker.... they'll even extend the warranty for you. Agreed, it is freakin amazing the deals on ELRs, There is a fully loaded 2015 ELR with 2815 miles at the local Caddy dealer for 40K, originally almost 80k. Not bad, The less than 100 miles on the 2016 ELRs are all in the high 50's to low 60's. I bet they get blown out this fall to clear the lots.

    And Triple A or any of the 3rd party companies get to charge you to come out and fix your flat.

    For sure this will make them a solid foreign company. Good thing is that the Chinese have no sense for wasting money but do believe in building garbage auto's. Could this be the end of Sergio as we know him?

    Old Toyota that was very popular in Japan when I went to college then in the 80's. Very much a 1967 Toyota Corona Delux I believe.

    The ELR is a lovely auto and the inside is night and days ahead of the VOLT. Sadly, Cadillac needed to do I think a CUV version of this power train. That would have sold more than the ELR. Plus the crazy high price did not help it since the tech came from the VOLT.

    Hopefully they can get rid of the Blah design language and bring back the Mojo of the R33/R34 version. That was a true Skyline.

    This Jelly Bean is just that, blah looking with a Big Mouth Billy Bass front end. It will sell to few, but enough to keep it going long term and make a profit? I doubt it. Will be a short lived product I think.

    Cadillac proved they could sell a luxury truck done RIGHT! This is one area I have always disagreed with GM on when they killed off the avalanche / Escalade EXT. Those trucks are rare to find on the used market and people who have them love them. Mercedes could do a luxury truck, but it has to be done right. Half ass will fail and if you do it the way Lincoln did the useless blackwood it will fail. Either you sell it the way Chevy, Ford and Ram does or you do it the way Cadillac did the EXT. No half ass attempts to cover it all like the idiot Nissan full size diesel truck.

    Who ever gets a solid Volt Like Powertrain luxury lineup will kick ass in the market place. I hope Cadillac expands faster and keeps the pressure on for the luxury lineup. I can see using the large space between the 4 wheels and having an electric motor between both wheels so you have pure EV AWD. You could then also still put a small generator in the engine bay to power everything else.

    I do agree with the AutoNation CEO that sees selling a luxury truck against the established big 3 as not being successful. Plus in looking around, I get the feeling that the dealerships are starting to wake up to the fact that MB is becoming like Chevy or Toyota and losing that LUXURY image. What Cadillac did to itself in the 80's is now coming to haunt MB as people are questioning if MB is a luxury brand or just another big box brand for everyone.
