I'm not a huge fan of that face but I bet it's a phenomenal vehicle.

Isn't that part of what flagship vehicles are supposed to do though, get people into other vehicles in their respective lineups? It should still make people want to be part of that brand and people will buy what they can afford from said brand. That's why Merc, BMW, Cadillac, Lincoln, Audi all have cheap luxury branded vehicles. Brand image.

This analogy would imply that people will not want to buy any other EQ product if they see the EQS as it is a FAILURE in Style! If anyone see's the EQS why would they want to buy any E-Class, C-Class, B-Class, A-Class or SUV from MB when you have such a pathetic looser of style auto! There is NOTHING that I desire either inside or out on the EQS, a Hideous failure of design by the engineers at Mercedes.

And it's pretty ignorant to think that is what they would do in the first place. "Hey. I can't afford this $300K low volume hand built EV, so I am going to get this $50K gas powered car instead."...said NO potential EV buyer ever. The Lyriq is exactly where they hope to steer those folks, duh.

All BS and obvious trolling by some aside, something like the Celestiq has been LONG overdue from Cadillac. The benefit of this is that the tech in the Celestiq will probably triple down to other future products like the inevitable Escalade EV on down. This is nothing but a win for GM and Cadillac if all the pieces fall together for them.

I don't think your car's 4 zone climate control is quite as detailed as this one sounds. I also think the OEM customizations that this thing will offer, and assuming the highest quality materials, will keep this thing above those much more conventional large luxury cars. There are EQS AMG's on dealer lots, according to Autotrader. More/bigger batteries along with more powerful motors. That's no different than dropping in a larger engine.

How will Cadillac pull Tesla owners into buying the Celestiq or the Lyriq when those can be bought from a dealer? If Cadillac cannot bring conquest sales from the current leader in luxury EVs, I am not sure how Cadillac will succeed. Cadillac has not done very well pulling owners of Mercedes and BMWs and Audis to trade German for Cadillac, let alone Lexus.

As far as Celestiq goes, a lot of the tech and features in it should be in other Cadillacs next year. Most of that stuff is in the luxury market already. Question is what does Celestiq do for the rest of the lineup? I don’t think people will see Celestiq and think that’s cool but can’t afford it and then buy a CT5. The Lyriq actually matters the most to get right.

And you continually misread my intent but that is nothing new here so how about sticking to the subject of the thread instead of trying to make things personal while acting like you have a leg to stand on here? Besides, I would rather be seen as feisty than be seen as a troll. Take that however you want since you will do that any way.

Like, you're going to be the internet police?

You just get so feisty for no reason. That's been the difficult part for GM.
