Cadillac News: Cadillac Introduces The Elmiraj Coupe
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Cadillac
I agree with Drew about how boring, blah and just plain dull the CL is, for that matter other than AMG I tend to find MB style rather boring and blah. BMW has a tad bit better style than MB but also not a big fan other than their M series of their cars. Over all SMK, Yes, I would spend $100,000 on this American Made luxury 2 door!- 88 replies

Or a proper paddle auto/mans tranny. Over all manual is dying slowly

Cadillac News: Cadillac Introduces The Elmiraj Coupe
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Cadillac
People who cannot imagine, live very boring lives so I hear. There are plenty of people with money who will buy a 2 door like this as it meets certain needs of their life. I am one. A big car with room for me and the wife and maybe an occasional other person, but really just me and the wife on a road trip. I am one of those people that will never buy Euro or Asian trash auto's as I prefer to support American companies first and then will look outside only when no alternative is available.- 88 replies

Cadillac News: Cadillac's Elmiraj Concept "Is Very Doable”

Maybe we go deep and bring back the Fleetwood for this caddy.- 24 replies

Or it actually could be true. I sent the story to our company internal chat forum. That allows people with same interests to connect and the BMW forum was all positive about this with the attitude of why should we have to wait for others? While some could be considered sarcasm, I was surprised to see a positive number of people post that they liked the story and agreed with it since they felt they had surperior auto's so why waste time on lower end drivers. Was an eye opener.

Tesla Model S Earns Highest NHTSA Score Ever Recorded
G. David Felt replied to Intrepidation's topic in Tesla
So Tesla expects to make enough money on selling cars so that they can offer these super charging stations for free. I know there was the story about these stations. Has it been updated that Tesla is now going to actually do this? I do not see how this will work if it is a free service. -
We'll E85 failure I see is due to the high cost of the fuel along with the lower energy level per gallon compared to gas, diesel and CNG. Along with lower HP, Torque, general availability all leads to a reduced desire and demand for the product. Negativity about the tax dollars spent on it and if the subsidies were removed, it would be on pare cost wise with gas at a lower performance level. This alone just kills it. Even Propane is a better alternative than Ethanol.

Tesla Model S Earns Highest NHTSA Score Ever Recorded
G. David Felt replied to Intrepidation's topic in Tesla
The Tesla Model S has a longer range than our 2004 CR-V That might be true, but then you can stop and quickly fill up with gas and keep going compared to trying to find a level 3 fast charger or have to do the slow boat 110 charge. -
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.

Vehicle: Buick Encore (2013)
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Member's Rides Showcase
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?

National Drivers License and Inspection?
G. David Felt replied to G. David Felt's topic in The Lounge
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.- 21 replies

Tesla Model S Earns Highest NHTSA Score Ever Recorded
G. David Felt replied to Intrepidation's topic in Tesla
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. -

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?

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