Very Cool,

I could see the title of this being "Ethanol, the 21st century Snake Oil Sales Man?" Then do an in-depth review of when the industry started, the amount of tax dollars given to the industry, what the cost of corn was at the beginning per bushel and what it is now. Also include other costs of components then and now to see if there really is a correlation of increased cost to the public. What is the real benefit of Ethanol and is it delivering on what was promised?

I would look forward to reading this.

That is a Sexy Car! Way to go Drew, so tell us all about it. Is it fully loaded with AWD or just FWD? Looking forward to hear all about it. I am very excited for you. Congratulations.

Very cool, the Japanese, Chinese and European along with the US auto makers should be concerned as the Koreans are responding to build world class leading cars for each segment or near there. Be interesting to see where this company is in 5 to 10 years. Will it replace Toyota and then fall like GM or will it be able to take over and become one of the largest car companies in the future?

Happy B Day Senor Ding Dong. Have another box on your special day!

Sadly even bike riders do not seem to know what hand signals to use to change lanes, they just stick out a finger on the right or left. Lazy drivers they are. Even a car with working turn signals seems to be too much work for some to use to indicate what direction they are going. We really have gotten to a level of lazy drivers. These are the type of people who need self driven cars.

YAWN! Like the average person could afford this limited range car.

Using this criterion, the Cadillac El-whateversomethingstupidname is not worth caring about either.

More will probably buy and afford The El Miraj than a Tesla.

YAWN! Like the average person could afford this limited range car.

Only positive I see is that this will make auto companies rethink how they build their cars.

So we could take all the Euro Cars and dump them back in the EU and have those companies pay some big fines.

Very cool, had never heard of or seen this before. Thanks for sharing.

Ethanol, a tax payers waste of subsidies to a select group of individuals who have become rich off the backs of hard working Americans who have had to deal with higher food prices due to the lack of Ethanol to reduce the fuel cost to the average American.

Ethanol equal less HP, less Torque and LESS MPG. It might burn cleaner with less CO2 but it is such a small amount that it would be better to go with CNG as a logical next step. Shut down the Ethanol industry, save the billions in tax dollars and put it back into the US infrastructure. There is a real benefit for americans. Smoother roads, stronger bridges, etc.

Ethanol, the 21st century Snake Oil Sales Man!

Why not have this in the Alternative Fuel category?

So here are some names to try on:

Cadillac

Jazeel

Oliphant

Qiang

Renild

Xanadu

I think this car will be out for sale Spring 2015, otherwise GM misses the market and sales opportunity.

So much for BMW driving Machine! FWD Appliance is their new drum beat.

I like the concept over all, why not use a high compression CNG motor in place of the Diesel?

So then we all agree that this captures the past glory of Cadillac and also encompasses a nice 21st century take for the product line?

YES YES YES, Produce this car!

Name it Eldorado???? Not sure, I think the older crowd would love it and the car enthusiast would love it but that is a limited crowd. I propose a new Series of 21st century Names to apply to the new generation of Cadillac. Time to let the old cars live in their glory of history.

Over all, I have been thinking on this for a while and yes I do love many of the old names, but in the 21st century with all the entitled young people, these names are heavily tied to the past. If GM is to grow Cadillac and gain new fans and conquest buyers, I believe it is time to look to the future with 21st century names and not rehash/relive old names of history some that might or might not have the greatest past.

Eldorado is an amazing car, but the last few versions were not living up to it's name and I believe it is time to move on to a new 21st century name.

Thoughts on new names?

I have a question: is it 300k vehicles worldwide, or just sold in the EU? If the EU means worldwide, dwightlooi has the right idea. If that rule only applies to cars sold in the EU, then abandon Europe as a car market. Neither Jaguar nor Range Rover should deviate from their unique selling point if they are to remain viable. Screw the EU for their excessive rules.

EU = Socialist attempt to standardize the same same for everyone. Just does not work in the real world.

This is a dying product line that could be an executive pet project and until that person retires and then Toyota will probably just do away with it. There really is no need for this product line.

I actually like the design element, I think it works well for the car and gives it a bit of a hot rod look.

Maybe they need a sub-brand instead. It's a shame they couldn't get the Rover name back.

Maybe they could bring back Sterling.. No wait, bad idea.

Shame on you for even thinking that.

I highly doubt this number as here on the west coast, the Scion is a room within the toyota dealership. Not a stand alone dealership. I wonder just how many stand alone scion dealerships with their own show room, repair facilities, etc that is not part of a larger Toyota dealership really exist?

I would betcha that probably 80-90% are a dealership within a dealership.

So cost would probably be low to kill off a slow selling product line.

Agreed, small things you find on the ATS should not happen at all on a car this size. I understand the dash and seats are not production capable, but I do think they can get it close and hopefully show something at the Detroit auto show.

Like I said, time for them to have an entry level line of auto's under a different name.

My Choices for a new Economy line of auto's with high gas mileage:

Cheetah

Sphynx

Burmese

Calico

I think these would all play well as being entry level to Jag's.

hahaha... "real men" read GQ?

Nothing wrong with being metro, I can chop wood and live in the forest off the land with the best of them, but I also love to dress up and look dashing from time to time. Always did enjoy GQ magazine. Course being a photographer, it is nice to see what others see through their lens from time to time.

So yes, us Shrek real men read GQ

I have AAA also because I drive a 32 year old vehicle.

Nothing wrong with Younger drives, makes one stay fit to keep up.

Well, that's what I've been told, but I also hold his passport in my safe, so...

Sounds like a life of servitude.

Washington State made it illegal for one to change a tire on the side of the road with out safety lights and markers. You are supposed to call Washington State Patrol if you do not have a service like AAA or Costco's Ameriprise Auto insurance that covers things like a tire change, tow etc.

Sadly, I have seen many WSP show up and stick their nose out so you are safe, but sit in their car watching while you change your tire.

Personally, I have no problem changing a tire and calling to get my own tow. I made both of my kids change tires when learning to drive and my 30 year old daughter is proud that she could if needed change her tire, but so far has not had to deal with that. Dad, makes sure proper inflation and when I wash the auto's I check for things like nails/screws.
