but it sounded better than that CT6 tt. I am guessing there was something wrong or badly set up on the Ct6 panaray i tested. that used CT6 is still for sale, interestingly enough...... i didn't mind the black but do agree. some of the CT5 trim options include a light color.

red leather seats available on the Pacifica now, But wife doesn't want another minivan........after they add red leather and all wheel drive to the options list,.....?

even the Lexus will be deeply discounted though, too...

The 2020 Lexus LS would be a far better looking option this this faux lux vehicle....... although i do understand the Lexus is more pricey....

that's sweet!

NOw that i think about it, this song by California gal Marnie Ann must have been an early love song for Elon Musk, but I digress, Carry on,.....

well, there goes Buick then!

No, this is a stupid idea. Really ashamed that someone from Ford would suggest this. How about concentrating on how many more new 2020 Escapes you can sell instead of 70,000 dollar Aviators now? Likewise, GM, maybe something like the Cruze is a valuable entry in the car lineup now? Watch GM spin this into needing all sorts more money to dump into autonomous and electric black hole now. I would be for the development budgets of electric being increased if the charging grid were part of that investment but I haven't seen jack squat of that to date. And in the meantime, how about instead of cash for clunkers, get more hybrid powertrains into volume lines. Like an Equinox hybrid. Give credit for continuing hybrids in some of its product lines.

yikes, that is 'basic'...its like the little suzukis in india....

I didn't try the CT6-V.....:( i like blackout trim on cars but TBH i would prefer that they leave some chrome on the Sport......

2 of GM's best styling jobs ever. I would love to find a collectible one of either in good shape some day. regarding this new Genesis, MEH now it seems even more criminal that Cadillac punted and the real Escala on Omega never saw the light of day. new G80 is a huge TURD in comparison.

Parking Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert w/Braking - $565.00 Blind Spot Monitor - $500.00 be nice if this were standard on a lexus

at the auto show was a new Encore GX, almost 38 grand. Loaded sure. But wow, about 10 grand too high IMO.

aren't most of those dead elderly from one nursing home

https://www.hagerty.com/articles-videos/articles/2020/03/09/gm-responds-mat-blackwing-v8-deal-up-in-air-for-now GM responds: MAT’s Blackwing V-8 deal is up in the air for now

at the end of the day its my main rag at GM right now. All the PR bullshit about electric cars and all the resources down the drain keeping them from updating their core product lines.

true. however then, the electric cars in the marketplace still won't take off en masse until a vast charge network of a common standard is built.

I get what you are saying however, if there is no charge network that is as convenient as gas stations, then no, not in 2-3 years. until they have exceptional interior quality, no chance in hell. i have seen no plan from any company or government of any charge network for the annual replacement sales of 17 million vehicles a year to be built nationwide. that 48 mpg Honda Accord hybrid keeps looking better all the time.

That too, then why would they waste so much time and resources to make all these pressers about niche products like a 200,000 dollar sedan that no one will buy? That's the part where i said earlier that GM still needs to provide full resources to redesign and introduce and keep their current vehicle lines fresh.

If priced correctly, yes. Compact crossover is the hottest market in the industry and it would presume that GM could sell them at a price that could sell in volume to replace some of the Tesla's being sold. Which gets back to my original comment. No they won't sell as much if the charging network is not there. Which is why those whole 'electric car push' is PR move from GM. It's not sincere to push the electrics until you can push them in volume to replace the gas cars.

In 2019, GM sold about 450,000 Equinox + Terrain compact crossovers. If you are really serious about moving people into electrics (electrics, not hybrids), should you not assume you want to start eating away at chunks of your gas vehicle lineup and replace it with electric? I see no plan here as being things other than PR because if they were serious i would read something to the effect of 'The all new all electric only 2022 Chevy Equinox will arrive and is intended to replace half the volume of gas equinox'. A volume segment, which would make real sense to make a big push to move the market to electric. Imagine a 2022 Electric Equinox + Terrain to replace the current models. That would actually sell. Or why not a new mid size sedan all electric to compete with the Model 3? Or a 3 row crossover Acadia sized +/-, another high volume segment. Neat thing to see the other day, at the auto show, the newest Accord hybrid. 48 mpg epa. Look in the trunk, no 'battery hump' to speak of. Doesn't it still make sense to invest in some hybrids, just make them the right size with real choices of options. Volt was a bit of a failure because it was too small and you couldn't get power seats or sunroofs.

Updated Chevrolet Bolt: The first vehicle to be launched in this offensive. It will get an updated interior with a more premium dash. too small to be useful to many, will never sell in huge volume at that size. good thing the cheap dash will get an update. Chevrolet Bolt EUV: The crossover-variant of the Bolt, it is about five-inches longer and rides on a wheelbase that has been stretched by three inches. An updated roofline reportedly eliminates the small front windows on the Bolt. The EUV will also be the first model outside of Cadillac to get Super Cruise. how is this a substantial size increase over the Bolt? what is the point? Chevrolet Midsize Crossover: About the same size as the Blazer, this model has an aggressive design and features a low roofline. A pair of 18-inch multimedia displays dominate the interior. May actually have a chance as a volume model. As long as it is as big as the Blazer or Edge and not the size the of the Equinox but labelled 'midsize'. Chevrolet Full-Size Truck: This was the model only shown in digital renderings according to those who were at the event. It will complement the Silverado and be aimed at those who want something to be used on a job site - not like the upcoming GMC Hummer Truck or Rivian which are aimed more at lifestyle folks. This model is expected to arrive in 2025. Not sure how this will be received. Seems more like a model for PR purposes rather than for actual sale. Buick Crossover and SUV: These two models didn't have a name and were wearing a design that was described by the Detroit Free Press as a "vaguely European look". May be useful to Buick, same points as the midsize crossover apply otherwise. GMC Hummer Truck: This will only be available in a crew-cab configuration with a five-foot bed. The design will be utilitarian and boxy. Inside, two large screens will serve as the instrument cluster and infotainment system. Don't expect any leather as many of materials used inside will be made from recycled materials. The truck will also have removable roof panels (like the Jeep Wrangler, that can be stored in the front trunk. Simply a PR vehicle. GMC Hummer SUV: Basically the same as the truck, albeit using a shorter wheelbase. PR vehicle, won't add to market share. Cadillac Lyriq: We have seen teasers of this model last year and Cadillac dropped another this week showing off the silhouette - reminding us some crossovers from Jaguar and Porsche. The vehicle is wide and rides on 23-inch wheels. Size-wise, it is similar to the XT5. The interior boasts a 34-inch-wide high-def screen and seating for four, though the production model may have seating for five. Cadillac's excuse for not providing a knockout XT6 or a new XT5 is what this will be. Then they can say they ran out of cash to make replacements for the XT5 and XT6. Cadillac Celestiq: A new four-door flagship sedan that has a long front end and a fastback rear according to those who saw the clay model. It will be hand-built and carry a six-figure pricetag. Cadillac's excuse for not providing a new flagship or keeping the CT6 is what this will be. Then they can claim to justify a low volume electric sedan rather than work to market the most competitive sedan market with the gas cars. Cadillac Large SUV: About the size of an Escalade, it be complementary vehicle to it. The model will have a more traditional design than the other Cadillac EVs. Inside, it will boast large screens up front and three-rows of seating. As long as you still have the Escalade which it seems they are at least smart enough to never get rid of. So, most of this list is PR cars. The chevy and buick midsize crossovers are the only ones that have a chance to become useful daily driver replacements in volume. GM still has to provide resources to refresh and develop new and existing gas models. They cannot stop keeping up with improvements by falling back on some BS about bringing electric vehicles to market, because this list is mostly niche. And even so, what has GM done to help with the charge network? Will these vehicles charge in 10 minutes and have a range of 300+ miles including in a cold winter? SOmebody has to build a charge network, when will this happen GM? It's like building these models is an excuse to abandon development and improvements on the vehicles that still will make up the real daily drivers for most. Where is the Tesla Model 3 or Model S challenger? I am starting to see a lot of model 3's, it seems a chevy sedan with range and space, and performance in the neighborhood of a Tesla but with a better price could be a car that starts to turn the market to electrics. I imagine these models are going to be pricey so that is the strategy, not try to move electric to the mainstream....sell high priced models to help pay for incremental development of electric drives and chassis, just to claim you are woke and on the leading edge. We won't see any movement to provide that charge network in convenient ways like now until the masses get into electric. And generally, if you build the road first, then the growth happens. The charge network / convenient charging is the road, that is what actually needs to be known first, when is this charge network built and where. There is no plan / no road to speak of. If the road is not there, then don't expect any demand.

you're in Florida, used cars are cheaper there. Also, there are always a good supply of used Cadillac / lease returns because Cadillac sells well in FL. Believe me I know because when i look for used cars I seach nationwide. FL is a great place to find good used car prices. Up here in MN the same car is often 2-3 grand or so more. That said, I have even noticed the CT6 prices are dropping quite a bit lately. It must be due to that the first wave of the 3 year lease cycles are hitting the market. It's rather strange but the newer model year XTS are not that much cheaper than the CT6 right now. If you do find a really cheap XTS from 2017-up its generally either white or silver and probably has the black death interior.

i consider the 2010-2016 the previous generation and 2017-2019 the current gen. As nice as the previous gen was, If i look for any LaCrosses for mom it would be current gen, 2017-2019. "A lot of 2013-17 Lacrosse models are on sale" 2013-2017 straddles 2 generations of LaCrosse. technically.

oh i was talking the current LaCrosse model.
