    Today at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Cadillac unveiled the refreshed Cadillac CT5 sedan.  CT5 retail sales have been on an upswing of late, increasing over 35%.  In a time when sedan sales are stagnating or disappearing entirely, Cadillac's positive numbers have given hope that the luxury sedan market isn't quite dead yet. The refresh of the CT5 begins with the exterior. A new larger, bolder grille is flanked by new vertically stacked headlamps and Cadillac's sign

      3 km have now become 80

      By oldshurst442 · Posted

      Lots of changes happened in my life and in my family's the last 3-4 months.  (I still dont want to talk about those changes)   But we CAN and SHALL discuss the changes with the car situations.  Old cars have come back.  New ones have joined. Some have left the scene.  And now we are a 3 car family.  I had to let go of the Acura. I had a little fender bender with it.  Nothing major, but as with the Impala SS, somebody ran into me and so I had to euthanize it.  OK...I didnt kill it.  But we traded it  in for a 2024 Honda Civic LX.     Just as with the Impala, way back in 2012, yet another female driver, (God bless these women drivers...) ran into my side. The Impala SS was the passenger front door. With the Acura, it was the driver's side passenger door.   I wasnt wanting to repair it, I had to do extensive maintenance work on it as well, so the monies spent on maintaing and repairing and calling insurances and all that, my wife and I decided that I would take over the Fusion, she gets herself a new car.   This happened mid-July sometime, when additional family drama started brewing again, on her side and on my side, and the decision to sell the restaurant also was made.   We finally got the Civic on Monday with 3 kilometers on the odometer and 3 days later she is up to 80.  Not much Id say.   What about the Mazda 3? Well, when we bought the Fusion, it was because we had given my then deadbeat brother-n-law, the youngest, my wife's Mazda 3.  So we needed to buy another car. Hence the Fusion.  He has since then become responsible and very hard working and he bought himself another car 3 years later.  We thought he traded it in but he had ALWAYS kept it as a reminder NOT to be a lazy ass person.   He drove it once in awhile as an appreciaition of what his sister and I did for him. And when the middle brother passed away in June, and we started grieving for the middle brother and when we mentioned that our daughter may need a car he surprised us by giving us our old car back.  Its in very very good condition, other than a few rust spots here and there.   So yeah...   New car.    Internal combustion.  No battery electric.  Maybe a BEV on the next car purchase when another woman driver rams my Fusion's passenger door...   I am NOT being hostile towards women drivers.  Just spittin' out facts...

      Tesla Model Y ... for about 7 hours instead of 7 days ... definitely a unique experience

      By trinacriabob · Posted

      INTERIOR PHOTOS Front of cabin and console - simple in appearance, but assembly appears to be good Rear of cabin A partial view of the somewhat generous rear compartment over the (upright) rear seat showing the charging station These are the 2 areas at the front of the console where you can charge a couple of phones Side note:  It looks like I forgot to take a photo of the unique dashboard, so I've uploaded one from available images (credit to the cars sector of US News). Also, I did not hook up my music, so I'm not able to show you "choice" selections from my music collection. - - - - - END OF PHOTOS

      EXTERIOR PHOTOS This is the vehicle's tall rump, also indicating dual motor It wasn't that hard to find the charging slot, but it wasn't that obvious, either This is the 1st of 2 charges and these stylized contraptions mean they're supercharging stations Upon turning it in, I took this photo ... au revoir
