I'm thinking the computer overlords would never allow the pods to impact another- so I could blaze thru cross-street intersections without lifting my right foot.

^ 4 new "tires" = $22,000. Just guessing. Obviously not rubber, so the wear & ride would be a wild unknown. Did you see the quick shot of the traffic signal-less intersection where vehicles (assumedly talking to each other or master-controlled) just narrowly miss each other? Wonder how my B-59 would go thru there; would all other traffic stop suddenly at the renegade retro-missile? That sort of sci-fi movie reality is 150 years off, minimum.

^ Great big corral of meh.

I present to you the BMW 1 Series Hatch, 2 Series Grand Coupé (4 doors) and 2 Series Coupe. Based on a certain MINI...dont know which one. Dont really care either. All these years...all those shytty American car magazines....all these asshat American car buyers swearing off GM, Ford forever because of downsizing and FWD architecture and them switching to the German brands.. All that commotion, bitching about wrong wheel drive and torque steer... ALL THOSE BMW CUVs...ALL THOSE BMW 3 SERIES and 5 SERIES WITH AWD SOLD SINCE THE 2000s... ( AWD...adding weight for nothing!!!) THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE ? I NOW HAVE THE LAST LAUGH!!! AND A BIG MIDDLE FINGER TO ALL THOSE BMW DOUCHE BAGS AND AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE JOURNALISTS IN THE 1980s AND 1990s THAT SHYTTED ON FWD PONTIACS AND CADILLACS ALL THESE YEARS!!!

I tend to think that a lot of this is because, Escalade aside, Cadillac does not lean into its American-ness enough. We all know what MB, BMW and Audi are and stand for. What is Cadillac's USP? Names matter too.

^ Go up & ring the bell, and ask! - - - - - MERC!

Yes we should address nuclear waste. Reprocessing the waste to create more electricity would do wonders for that problem.

Is this like on regular comcast tv lines or over the air? I honestly do not watch local tv stations and only use stream services of commercial free content. As such, I do not see anything from Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick or GMC, yet I see the German and Asian auto companies on the web all the time. I am thinking GM is out of touch with the work force that embraces all things computers.

Starve a marque of new product and this is what you get. I must admit I miss Olds more than Holden. Then again, this has to be really sad for those down under.

Yes, totally agree, we will not see tires like that in our life time. All those auto's would crush up against your B-59 Tank!

I never cared a blip about Holden, but it's always sad to see an industrial concern cease operations.

Living in a state that is all Green energy production and has an ugly black eye with the Tri-City Hanford Nuclear processing plant which has plenty of Nuclear waste, I get the waste issue is huge. We do have a way to nutralize it, but need more money to build bigger furnaces that changes the Nuclear Waste liquid into a solid glass that can then safely be buried under ground. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanford_Site https://www.britannica.com/topic/Hanford-Engineer-Works https://www.hanford.gov/ https://www.livescience.com/62623-radioactive-waste-trapped-in-glass.html https://www.hanfordvitplant.com/ Currently we have the Nations 56 million gallons of Nuclear waste sitting in above ground and under ground tanks that are starting to leak. As such, we do need to figure out a way to address the Nuclear waste before we move forward with building more Nuclear plants. Am I glowing yet?

Is that Forbes article for real? I did not read it fully aas I stopped because I saw some pretty ridiculous stuff in it. Greta and Sanders may or may not be nuts, fake alarmists or just plain naive. Or they could even be correct...I aint debating that part of that article. I am dumbfounded though on the downplaying of nuclear... I saw that it defends hydro-electric power and questions those who oppose it, but I aint here to debate that either...again...its the nuclear part that caught my eye...) 1. WW3 is said to have be avoided by the slimmest of margins back in '62. If not WW3, then a nuclear war between the US and the USSR for sure... The cold war ended sometime in the 1980s or even the 1990s, but nuclear war is always at high alert as the US is NOT the sole owner of nuclear warheads. It be cool had it only been between the US and the USSR. But as we all know, from the 1970s all through to 2020...and beyond, more and more nations have discovered the power of splitting atoms to use as a weapon against fellow humanity... And that threat today does not end with rogue nations as we in the West like to call them like maybe North Korea or Iran...but by a gang of freedom fighters fighting for whatever cause they want to fight for against anybody or nation or innocent people they deem necessary for revenge... But war has NOTHING to do with renewable energy sources... BUT IT DOES EVENTUALLY...and hence why people maybe afraid of nuclear powerplants... Those two quotes CASUALLY IGNORE the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster. It COMPLETELY FORGETS past Nuclear reactor meltdowns, (3 Mile Island and Chernobyl) but those 3 events CLEARLY spook us humans. And those were human and natural disaster ERRORS... In a time of war...nuclear power plants could be used against a people in a region by PURPOSEFULLY destroying these power plants and nuclear waste and radiation would leak destroying EVERYTHING around that powerplant for many many years...THAT would be the SAME as a nuclear war, but the result would NOT be by nuclear war heads being dropped, but by a nuclear power plant being destroyed... ALSO... NUCLEAR WASTE... The article does NOT mention NUCLEAR WASTE. It talks about the environment and goes into hydro-electric stuff by defending it where as some greenies oppose the flooding etc...but again...in the same breath...the article does NOT mention what are we to do with all that NUCLEAR WASTE... If real estate is a focal point in defending and attacking various tree huggers trying to defend nuclear power plants... Maybe defending nuclear power plants may NOT be the way to go.... I get what the article is trying to do....trying to make Greta and Sanders look like hypocrites...but the article attacking all those greenies like Greta and Sanders is hypocritical itself... It aint doing the author any favours. The author looks just as hypocritical and foolish... Just My Humble Opinion Though... which may or may NOT be that humble...

Thank you for posting this. All three mentioned are nuts! I am all for reducing global warming, but Nuclear and Natural Gas has contributed big time to this by killing off Coal which is even worse. Wind, Solar and Hydro is Great, but cannot solve everyone's need for power and as such, Nuclear and Natural Gas are good alternatives till we perfect the efficiencies of Solar, Wind and Hydro. The real estate is an excellent area that has not been discussed as much as it should. We also have not really realized the power that can be harnessed by using solar collection in space and then focused beams of energy down to earth to be used by the population. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-based_solar_power https://www.energy.gov/articles/space-based-solar-power Some additional interesting food for thought.

The 'plan' is the same it's always been; to build well-performing, excellent driving luxury appointed vehicles. Simple.

^ But the difference there is; mercedes/BMW is supposedly 'well-defined', and 'no one knows what Cadillac stands for'. Of course the reality is, Cadillac has had at least 1 FWD entrant for over 50 years now, so which brand is breaking tradition moreso??

^ yeah; the premise of ‘measuring animal “love” ‘ certainly isn’t science-based.

How does one calculate love? I never thought one could quantify love. A dog will kill any threats to protect its master. THAT is a fact. Another fact: A cat will kill prey and present it to its master (care giver) as a token of appreciation. I know that has psycho applications...that aside, that says a lot about how much love a cat has for its master/care giver. I think the difference is this: A cat, although domesticated, I dont think a cat could fully be tamed. I dont think its in a cat's DNA to have a master. But a cat is quite happy to have a care giver. And if a human takes good care of his/her cat, then that love and respect is reciprocated. There is a reason why the saying goes: A dog is man's (as in mankind's in today's PC world) best friend. A dog needs a master, and a master needs a dog. Its a symbiotic relationship. And that defines the differences between cats and dogs and humans. Im a dog person myself. If I were to have a pet, a dog it would be. The bigger dogs. The bigger, guard dog type. German Sheppards, Dobermans, Huskies, Labradors (not that LAbs are pure guard dogs...) But you get the picture... With that being said. I love cats too. I love the way cats are felines and they behave EXACTLY like a lion or tiger or cougar... They hunt they same way. They are stealthy the same way. They are agile and fast in the same way. Yet, they see a human as a friend (or foe), but not as possible food source. You got to respect that. A hungry, rabid dog, will ALWAYS go back to its ancestor'a DNA...wolf, coyote... and quite possibly see a human as a food source. That would be another difference...

2.0L Kona is nice. The Venue is a good replacement for the Accent hatchback. The Tucson is nice, and the Veloster, in base form, is very affordable. The Santa Fe looks good this time around, and the Palisade is selling well. The Elantra GT hatch is practical and sporty.

Kaiser?

Cracking up over this ford.

I have no idea what BMW or mercedes stands for. I want to say 'luxury' but their respective dives into cheap FWD appliances shatters that definition.
