How about 'Vehicle Approaching--stand back' on loop when driving in pedestrian-clogged areas?

I have seen NO discounts on anything made by Tesla. GM having big discounts on vehicles that don't sell have been SOP for decades.

Finally, some good news out of Cadillac. The current batch of alphanumeric names is probably the worst in the business now that Lincoln abandoned theirs. EV is the future, BEV or otherwise. Our household is on our second EV, and next year we'll get our third. We're never going back to ICE.

One of the safety issues surrounding electric vehicles is that they are nearly silent at low speeds with only limited tire noise emanating from them. This is a hazardous situation for pedestrians who may not hear an EV creeping up being them. Volkswagen is working on a solution to the issue by hiring composer and music producer Leslie Mandoki to produce a sound for the upcoming ID series of cars to make when operating at low speeds. One advantage of this is that brands, including Volkswagen, can craft their own voice for their cars to have. The Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System operates both inside and outside of the car and fades away when the car reaches cruising speeds where wind and road noise are sufficient. “An electric vehicle’s sound defines its identity. The sound should be confident and likable. It may well sound futuristic and must also impress with its unique character”, Dr. Frank Welsch explains as the Chief Development Officer of Volkswagen Passenger Cars.

Agreed. About Cadillac not spending billions trying to convert a close minded shopper. Product should be enough to convert. Agreed. Those concepts are great as is. And yes, they should have been built. And it aint too later to still build them as is as those concepts are still great and look relevant in 2020. Agreed. Prices SHOULD climb to reflect "The Standard of the World" but the little XT4 and CT4 stuff has got to go. Cadillac dealerships SHOULD UNDERSTAND that Cadillac is NOT about volume. But about STATUS.

Eldorado coupe/convertible should be a given. Even if a 4-door coupe due to low demand of 2-doors, they have to do an Eldorado. I could see Fleetwood and Seville for sedans, I can't imagine given the market's thirst for SUV's they'd have more than 2 sedans, one on the smaller side, one on the larger.

I assume it will be a rebodied Panda Cross... The 4x4 Panda is available with a badazz turbo 0.9L 2 cylinder among other engines..

Can't save 'em all, but too bad the owners (how ever many there may have been) let that rare of a Caddy go to crap.

Consumer Reports? HA! Nobody should trust them to even buy a good vacuum cleaner with the most suction capacity let alone a vehicle.

Sees the Bolt deals (only one trim level btw, the most expensive one) and then sees the much higher deals on the BEST SELLING model in Chevrolets stable (multiple Silverados) and wonders if someone is just trolling yet again on a thread they originally wanted no part of even though they cried for it to happen because mentioning EVs on the Random Thoughts thread was not “random enough”.

Kind of surprised Corolla's in the US are still manufactured in Japan. Consumer reports could compare 2020 Toyota and Chevrolet to see which brand has the most suction capacity.

You would do wise to remember your OWN words. Everything you have said is nothing but hearsay and therefore not admissible yet you constantly speak like it is the Bible truth. I am merely speaking from an actual experience from an actual owner That happened literally two days ago at my own home. What do you have? My guess is nothing.

Sounds like it's mostly for Europe and Asia. Sized like the Fiat Panda or Suzuki Jimny.

Actually my friend, with the cool looking stuff they have coming (and a beetle!) will most likely be their rebirth. That said- as long as I see ICE models there- It’s cool with me... ?

Soooo... it says it's a "start fart"? That ends up more like a shart? What is this world coming to? LOL bless their pea pickin' little hearts...

If CA has it's way, you won't be able to even if you wanted to.

EV will take over the luxury segment first then spread down. As batteries get better and cheaper, the cost between EV and turbo V6 or V8 gets closer. And the EV is faster, more refined and quieter than ICE.

I know I certainly would.

Just like cars.. No limit on how many they can make. Mercedes has 19 different cars.

Not bad, happy it is not some jingle but more of a natural electric type sound.

He said it put out 1,169 HP.

We'll ya know Lead in those batteries makes it a slow go kinda like lead in the butt. Yet change does happen.

Oddly, it doesn’t bother me. I don’t care for the current gen nose and think the 07-13 models looked better. I do wish they not do a spot on match with the trucks though. At least the last two gens ditched that approach to better results IMO.

Hearsay is not admissable. In this case.

Uh oh, my bro may have found a replacement for his 2017 Tahoe (with 80k + miles on it already) just might have a Duramax 2021 Tahoe in the family.

While that looks like this is what is happening, we could definitely use some $15-25K EVs so that we can replace ICE vehicles where it really matters: the used car market. That may take several years, but ending our dependence on oil makes sound economic and geopolitical sense, regardless of any politics involved.

You miss the point. I SAID... AS A PERCENTAGE OF MSRP. Stop wasting everyone's time. DING DING DING

Whoa, think they can give them away? Chevy's site is advertising $8428 off the MSRP for a 2019 Bolt Premiere! $4640 off a Colorado ZR2... hmmm... which one has a higher percentage of discount v. MSRP? And even at MSRP, GM loses many thousands of dollars per Bolt sold. So, this is the Tesla profit model? Is that how this works? So sustainable.
