    That is what you always say they should do.

    Awesome Pictures, Love the interior on this bad boy. I have to say looking at the pictures, the exterior Wheel Wells remind me of the GMC Terradyne.

    G. David Felt Alternative Fuels & Propulsion writer www.CheersandGears.com Ledcor Converts Fleet to CNG http://www.ledcor.com/news-events/news/2014/october/ledcor-to-own-one-of-canada-s-largest-natural-gas Using FortisBC's incentive program, Ledcor has committed to taking 200 CNG Ford Transits to replace their service fleet. Currently they already own 15 Class 8 LNG trucks giving them 215 alternative fuel vehicles. Scott Lyons, COO Ledcor Technical Services states; "We estimate we'll reduce our annual fuel costs by about 30% and reduce our green-house-gas emissions by approximately 23% or 2,000 tonnes of CO2e per year. Ledcor states the CNG auto's significantly lower emissions. 70 - 90 percent less carbon monoxide. 75 - 95 percent less nitrogen oxides. 20 - 30 percent less carbon dioxide. CNG vehicles see less corrosion and wear in engine parts, allowing for a more durable, productive and reliable fleet. Ford Fleet Sales was thrilled to have one company change their whole fleet to the new Ford Transit Connect CNG mini van.

    WOW, Impressive Engineering statistics, course still a toy for the Rich. You also cannot do a long road trip like a Fuel based auto, but this is better. I clarify for those that say you can, while we might have what I consider a wasted electric highway. I do not see spending 8hrs or 4hrs at the 120V or 220V charging stations as viable for doing a true road trip out of state or around a large state. Wasted time for charging and Tesla does not have their swap stations in abundance yet to change this. Makes me excited for the VOLT II and what GM will bring to the game.

    It will be interesting to see if he actually comes up with a long term plan for all the auto lines, or just what he does over the next 4 year wind down of his career.

    Very cool, I love the exterior look and from what I have seen on the GMC web page the interior looks really nice. I think over all one of the best trucks on the road. Any pictures of the interior of this tester?

    Finally!!! We disagree. I see his strategy and I for the most part (90%) like it. With exception to the FWD sub-model I think his plan is sound. I kno, from reading your posts, that U hate the new designations/names, but it is not an issue for me as the current names were no better, no less. Furthermore the XTS apparently not dying, but spiritually moving to Omega via the CT6, probably soldiering on in an Impala Limited fashion for fleet the Omega platform will underpin not only a possible 2016 Cadillac CT6, but a CT8 and 9 in 2018 or '19. C/D speculated this as far back as 2013 saying that the CT6 (at time thought be LTS) its styling will morph from notchback to a sleeker fastback like the Audi A7. Also I don't see how Audi was screwed up. They are the golden boy of the Luxo makers these days. Infiniti is not "Cadillac." Many I kno only see them as an upgraded Nissan. Their styling is disgusting and their sales have NOTHING to do with the names. Anyone who walked into an Infinti dealer and couldn't find a G sedan/coupe simply didn't ask the salesman.. or hell receptionist... on the floor that day. I look at his record while at these two companies. Sales increases did not happen on his watch, new product did not happen on his watch as far as I can tell unless you want to say re-badging names and tweaks to be new. I know I could be wrong but as a leader, both times at Audi and Infinity, sales gains did not come to the lines till 2-3 years after he left and others corrected or brought out truly new products. I just do not see him bringing anything that truly is leadership to the job. He just wants to be a lemming clone of the Germans and take his fat over paid paycheck home.

    This man is showing to be the same loser who messed up Audi and Infinity and did nothing for sales. He must have blackmailed people to get this job as he is an idiot.
  9. G. David Felt
    They at least saved the Black Beauty!
  10. G. David Felt
    Yup, Just like Casa said, the Terradyne should have been a Hummer or better yet like we agree on the start of the Alpha Line for GMC Off Road Rally's.
  11. G. David Felt
    Hummer was a great product and I proudly own them still. End point is Hummer should have NEVER been a stand alone product. It should have been a package sold by GMC. GMC could easily make a fortune on a Hummer Capable SUV/CUV. I would buy the Hx in a Heartbeat and I know many who would prefer it over the Jeep.
  12. G. David Felt
    WOW, So Sad, what a shame. The owner should have had them in a more secure protected place than there.
  13. G. David Felt
    Interesting, of course we know why the 3 detroit auto makers are at the bottom, Truck & SUV sales.
  14. G. David Felt
    2014 Jeep Compass are starting new in the Seattle Area from $12,971 http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?zip=98043&endYear=2015&modelCode1=COMPASS&showcaseOwnerId=100015786&startYear=2012&makeCode1=JEEP&searchRadius=10&showcaseListingId=362548981&mmt=%5BJEEP%5BCOMPASS%5B%5D%5D%5B%5D%5D&listingId=363157116&Log=0 Not bad for a FWD appliance.

    So with the stupid names of CT and XT, Guess one can then make the logical assumption that we will have a CT6-V and a XT6-V. Wow, talk about boring names with no logic or sense. CT3 = ATS CT4 = CTS CT5 = XTS CT6 = CT6 XT3 = Future Compact CUV XT4 = SRX XT5 = Future Full Size CUV Escalade = Idiot Leader will eventually change to his stupid XT6 since he does not understand why Escalades sell. Then we have the really idiot naming of the performance line. CT3-V CT4-V CT5-V CT6-V XT3-V XT4-V XT5-V XT6-V previously known as Escalade ESV-V This truly deserves an Editorial about Cadillac and Naming and the stupidity and lack of creativity this leader is bringing to Cadillac. I give him 2 years of failures before he moves on to destroying some other brand.
  16. G. David Felt
    Interesting, this at least answers the question about the SRT version. Now we will have the Jeep Grand Cherokee TrackHawk Edition. I can see each SUV version having both TrailHawk and TrackHawk. Could make for some fun times. I like this much better than SRT.
  17. G. David Felt
    As they say we live in interesting times. It will be interesting to see what becomes of FCA under new leadership.
  18. G. David Felt
    Very excited to see what the different body styles will be and just how close they get to their Ferrari performance as average Joe pricing.
  19. G. David Felt
    So you do not think that Honda copied GM Avalanche with their design and that there is a market for these crossover type SUV/Pickup Truck? The Avalanche started in 2001, Ridgeline came along in 2005 and was not a better truck.
  20. G. David Felt
    Yep, I think of "small" and "mid-size" pickups as two different things. These new trucks are just not quite there for a "mid sized" pickup, a few tweaks I noted above and I think they would be set. These trucks are nowhere near small enough to be a "small" pickup. GM needs to decide what they want. If they want a small pickup they need to shrink the entire thing, if they want a mid sized pickup then there is absolutely no excuse for making a truck of this size that can't fit 4' wide materials between the wheel wells. The Honda Ridgeline can do it with a unique (and highly useful) bed design and that truck is 10 years old. Avalanche could also and there was still a market for them but GM pissed that solid truck away also.
  21. G. David Felt
    Interesting but I also see what you mean, it does look like this cadillac has rear steering. I always thought it was an awesome technology that GM needed to roll out to more auto's to lower the cost but I can also go with the CT6 having it to get it started again.
  22. G. David Felt
    This is great news for younger people looking for a deal on a low mileage returned leased auto where they could afford a new lower end auto like an Acadia, but can get a Fully Loaded Denali Acadia for the same price with only 20-30K miles on it. Sweet.
  23. G. David Felt
    They could become a History Foot note as the over capacity in production in Europe shows that something has to give and either everyone cuts back laying off people and manufacturing or some companies go away. Interesting times we live in.
  24. G. David Felt
    Is the 2.0 T the same one that is in the CTS? If so there had to be something wrong with mine as the gas mileage was terrible and even in sport mode, the turbo lag was noticeable and pathetic. Was not impressed.
  25. G. David Felt
    This would be good especially if they use the new VOLT platform to build a Hybrid version!
