I thought he meant me because I say that I like the Bolt, but I want a Buick version with more luxury amenities.... and my current Buick has a mocha interior.

If you're talking about me, I just like the cheaper costs to "fuel" and the huge amount of torque from electrics. We're not going to save the planet with EVs while we're still tossing out plastic forks after one use. We're effed regardless. You know the cars I like, swift, silent, lots of torque. EVs fit that bill at a cheaper cost to operate than a V8.

I want to buy one, but they don't make one I both like and can afford and has the amenities I want. I'd buy an EV Lacrosse with a 250 mile range.. While not pure EV, both the S90 and CT6 plug ins would be high on my list had I the funds.

BMW News: 2019 BMW M5 Competition Offers Slightly More Performance
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in BMW
Well as you so often point out, 2 inches is like a whole different size class if Cadillac is wearing them. If the AMG GT is 2 inches longer than an E class, it is a total failure and no one will buy it. Back to the M5 and it's actual competition. -
I really don't think I have range anxiety... but I have charger location anxiety. I still think a plug-in hybrid is the way to go, but if it is a two vehicle family, a pure EV as a second car would be fine.

BMW News: 2019 BMW M5 Competition Offers Slightly More Performance
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in BMW
Is there ANY possible way for you to make a valid comparison without blatant attempts to stack the deck towards the brand you're just a fanboi of? The AMG GT Sedan is a larger car and will be priced an entire CLA more. It will compete with the M6 and Audi RS7. -
It's not you... it's the people out there who are like "ZOMG! ATS DIEING!!!11!!". Even without Cadillac's sedan shakeup, the ATS was dying and being replaced by a new name.

Industry News: Pedestrian Deaths in Car Crashes Are Rising
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in Industry News
outside of that, you are right it does get murky.... still, as a driver, you are supposed to be in control of your forward motion at all times. If someone jaywalks outside of a crosswalk and they get hit, the burden is on the driver to show extraordinary circumstances. -

Pedestrian/bike in a crosswalk and a green light = having right of way. -

Nope, that is still the law. -
He got the best one on the market and he likes it.

The wiggle room is the word "sedan". I would expect whatever takes the ATS's place to be some sort of hatchback with a crossover hatchback version as well. It will drop in overall size and probably move to FWD like the Germans have. The CTS will drop in size, the XTS dies, and the CT6 remains the same. Some flagship that is technically not a sedan (think Tesla Model S hatchback) will be above the CT6.

okay, I'm still not sure why everyone is surprised by this. The ATS dies just like the SRX died.... because it got a new name. A new car will slot in to replace ATS with a new name.

Absolutely, the person who nearly hit me yesterday was running a red light. -

It was meant to play in the compact class. They drive fantastic... much more car-like than a normal crossover. -

He means that those are the causes for pedestrian incidents... though I'm not sure who is more guilty of using them when they shouldn't be... pedestrians or drivers. -
That's what happens when you're motivated by revenge and want to punish someone (in this case the prior administration and California respectively)

You know what, these drive so nice.... and they finally made a mini-van that actually looks good. This is really the best crossover alternative out there that can still do all the hauling a crossover can do and more. I know @ocnblu would make fun of me for it, but I'd get the plug-in version... if only because it adds a bunch more scoot to the pentastar.

I nearly was run over by a Pruis today, but I was paying attention and she wasn't.... she was also running a red light. What an insulting way to go that would be.... -
