Ford to GM: We're Going to Pass On the 9-Speed Automatic

LOL I must apologize because I linked up the wrong link for the autoshow. This link    https://www.apa.ca/en/apa-at-the-2025-montreal-salon-de-lauto/    shows what were some of the highlights.  Missing are Luc Poiriers, a Quebec billionnaire, legit billionnaire and a legit Quebecois real estate mogul, young too, with his 27 or 28 Ferraris.  Also, the Corvette ZR1 was at the show too.  Anyway, my points being 1. I went to to show with my son. Had a great time with him 2. The Montreal show was a success as Montrealers dont show any contempt for auto shows in the winter, Montrealers are not fully immersed in the latest greatest auto reveals over the internet and a good 'ole auto show is plenty enough to see, feel, touch and enjoy the cars that we will end up buying eventually while also looking and dreaming about what billionnaire money buys you. 3. Montreal is not Detroit. (Thank the lord) 4. Detroit is (or was) ALWAYS a premier reveal destination.  Montreal was ALWAYS a so-so reveal destination. Plenty of new reveals did happen in Montreal over the years though. Mainly first reveals FOR the Canadian market.  But having a Corvette C8 ZR1 at the show this year, Montreal was probably one of the FIRST cities to showcase it.  It was on a pedastal showcase going round and round. Kinda feels good to showcase a car like that.   But sadly though, not too many people were flocked to it.  They didnt seem to know it was there.  But there was an E-Ray there as well, and it was a floor show piece ready to be sold and it was open for people to sit in it and there was a HUUUUUGE line-up for it.   Kids, teens, young adults, middle aged folk sprinkled with some old fogeys  ALL lined-up to sit in it.  I havent seen a Corvette with that kind of buzz surrounding it in a looooooong while.   5. My son and I sat in the Brightdrop. It is a well thought commercial EV.  It is HUUUUGE.  Wide and tall and long.  GM EVs are well built inside and out. We sat in the Cadillac Escalade EV, Lyriq and Optiq, the Chevy Equinox and Blazer.   We were not impressed with the interior of the Hummer though.  It was cheap.  The doors are flimsy. All other GM EVs are great inside and out.  6. The Dodge Charger EV is a STUNNER on the outside. The fit and finish on the outside is on par with everybody else.  No surprise there as Chryco does make good cars.  On the inside too, not too shabby with the quality and fit and finish.  The interior design looks like what a modern muscle car should look like.  But...I read and listened to many UNBIASED car reviews about the Charger EV and they all say that the EV part of the Charger is mediocre. Its a shame as its got the looks. Best looking of ALL EVs ever up until now for 2025.  I even prefer the looks of the Charger to the Audi E Tron. And I LOOOVE the Audi E Tron.  7. Quebecois were all flocked to the EV offerings of ALL manufacturers present at the autoshow.  Less at Tesla though.  Nothing to do with Elon's antics as the autoshow was BEFORE his Nazi salute and all that shyte. Its because most Quebecois already KNOW Tesla.  GM surprisingy had  the most people at their EVs.  Second was Hyndai/Kia.   8. There was some sort of Mercedes-AMG model there.  Mercedes was next to Cadillac. The Blackwing sedans were there. Nobody acknowledging them as the Cadillac EVs had the attention further away from Mercedes. This specific AMG model was at the border of the Cadillac/Mercedes display.  Nobody was at theat Mercedes either. I sat in it. It was phoquing tinny and plasticky.  I got out of it in disgust and I didnt notice what model it was.  I dont know HOW auto journalists complain about GM having cheap interiors...   

Canada is stable next to the USA but so is a meth addict with an assault rifle. What is your point, good kind sir? The entire senate is full of folks who probably couldn't get laid in normal life without a credit card. your point is....????

Everyone boycotting America forever is the start. America and Israel need to be the bastard children of the world, they both are facist nazi states unworthy of respect.  The stupid gets deepr and deeper here.  Who knew that electing folks with no ethical basis in life meant having people with no moral compass in charge? Who could ahve guessed this, Honestly? For any conservatives still lurking, this is sarcasm.  And American products should be boycotted worldwide. Starting with high value products like Boeing Jets.  F@@k boeing, Tesla, and every other American company.  IF it smells like shyte, acts like shyte, and elects shyte, its probably American.  I like Fords gasser Trucks, but pony cars are an idea whose time ahs come and gone. Fords EVS are No Va en this marketplace. I see ford being a smaller and smaller maker of ICE trucks as EV's take over.  Seriously.

We'll this sucks due to the stupidity of the current administration; Canda will get the Kia EV5 while the US will not get this affordable EV. Kia EV5 Will Be Sold In Canada, But Not In The U.S. - Here's Why
