Not everyone hears of everything. While I heard of the Alaskan earthquake, not everyone sees pictures or realizes that is from Alaska. Nothing is in the picture implies it is from Alaska. So a valid question asked. Clearly you like to follow fake news with a big helping of fake ASSumptions. Not everyone has seen this picture or seen things related to the 1964 Alaskan earthquake. Out of wondering, I asked my kids if they had ever heard of this specific earthquake. Nope they had not, not taught in school, not talked about and so you have made an Assumption with your statement. Stop being a lemming.

Course custom Dreamliners such as the Saudi royal family has ordered are amazing. Wonder which BMW that is below. LOL

Being in Boeing Country, I can say that the 757 was good for it's time, a senior that needs to stay retired. Very poor in efficiency and noise control. I agree with you that I hate Idiot45 since the 80's as he used Bankruptcy to steal others money and make himself rich. I have no respect as he has not built anything only stolen. Enough said about Idiot45. Boeing and Airbus make nice planes and their current planes are far superior excluding the software problems of the Max line than the plans of old. Once you are on a Dreamliner, you will wonder why all planes are not built that way with such big windows and so quiet. Boeing Dreamliners are what all planes really should be built to as a standard.

CT sedans suck, Cadillac has FAILED MISERABLY in regards to their product lines. The cars are not Cadillac but European wanna be crap! XT series are piss poor badge jobs of Chevrolet CUVs. This is a pathetic reboot of the 80's/90's and honestly they clearly did not get any proper leadership yet to lead Cadillac in the right direction. They hire an Idiot European who attempts to remake Cadillac as a BMW/MB wanna be auto company and moves it's HQ to NY wasting millions if not Billions when they could have brought out a proper far better product line. 2020 Escalade while selling has even been fucked up by the new political ass kissing idiot they put in charge. Why do I say they fucked up the Escalade? Simple, while there is much to love about it and I have first hand experience driving a brand new 2020 Escalade for a week from my dealership as they serviced my auto this is what I came away with: As I posted in the April auto thread, I had this ESV to drive for the week. Pro's Lots of power, easy to get up over 100 before you know it. Interior layout is very nice, love the Mocha / Black accent interior Gobs of room to haul stuff. Used this to pick up supplies for all the senior parents and deliver them during this quarantine period. Style is spot on for this Escalade. Hidden external steps, gotta love having it pop out and then retrack in. Keeps a very nice clean side look. Presence, you could not have more. The king is here and others get out of the way as you drive it down the highway. Nav / radio system worked flawlessly and love the wireless charging phone pad HUD, this is a must have on any luxury auto, I love the HUD. Yes many other things to like about this Escalade And yet there are some glaring issues: Con's 2020 and no Android or Apple phone play, Yes we get it in the 2021 version but come on, this is 2020 and the tech has been out for years. Seats, while nice leather, they are flat, not supportive and on a 300 mile road trip I did in this one, it made my bum num. My 2006 has far superior seats. It is Cadillac and should be supportive, comfy seats that you do not get num or fatigued while riding in. Steering wheel, They totally went backwards and Cheap here. My 2006 has wood and the proper knobs on the back side that fits your fingers ensuring maximum grip while minimizing tension on road trips, this was a poorly stitched leather slick steering wheel. Something you would also find on a Chevrolet. Sad. Last and the biggest complaint of mine, NO MAGNA RIDE! Yup, This is a luxury brand that should be tight and yet absorb the road imperfections. I went off a curb to see how the new system was like and was shocked to have it plop down hard. Got out, looked underneath and confirmed when I returned it to the dealership, that the base Escalades DO NOT come with Magna Ride, it is an option. As such, this Escalade rides like a pickup truck when Empty. We are talking Cadillac and Cadillac DOES NOT have to cover what Buick and Chevrolet already sell nor GMC. These should be the maximum ultimate Luxury rides. Right now Cadillac is Failing us the customers with piss poor re-badges of Chevrolet products and if they do this with their EV line, they will truly fail. Cadillac should be building LUXURY auto's which will NOT be for EVERYONE. Take the CT current products and sell them at Chevrolet at a proper Chevrolet price and I bet they will move big time. Then using names, bring back full size luxury sedans that can via a nob or switch go from Touring, sport and performance mode and yet are roomy and spacious inside. Cadillac Cars and SUV/CUV should be a step apart from Buick, GMC and Chevrolet.

Pricing as they have always sold at a higher price point.

Yup Fat fingered that one good.

You Crazy, that Ferrari is butt ugly, nothing special there, Corvette so beats that hands down. Nothing mad here, just shocked that anyone would find it attractive. Hell that makes the butt ugly Chevrolet Pickup trucks pretty. ?

Ford Focus RS is officially dead in Europe as the auto cannot meet the current or future emission requirements. https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2020/04/european-emission-regulations-killed-the-ford-focus-rs/ Ford News gets worse, Ford is expected to have a $2 billion dollar loss for Q1 of 2020 after a terrible Q4 2019. China and Europe blinked off in mid January and as such, Ford SEC filing is stating a 16% drop for Q1 of 2020 and Q2 could get much worse. OUCH ? https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2020/04/gird-your-investor-loins-ford-predicts-2-billion-loss/ Awesome ride, asking price for this 1988 T-Top Buick LeSabre is $6,500 https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2020/04/rare-rides-the-1988-buick-lesabre-t-type-coupe/

WTF is that UGLY Auto? I respect all of your appreciation even when you think something is lacking. Knowledge is power and you are Yoda!

Yes you Amish are all about keeping status quo and ignoring the ability to move forward with better tech. Sadly, when hybrids have been done, they have been done half ass in some cases and yet as proven by the sales, Toyota took a half ass version of the Rav4 hybrid, finally updated with a gen 2 hybrid and now that thing is superior in all ways to the ICE Rav4. Toyota needs to move forward with that on all auto's as does every other OEM.

Hoping that the new breakthroughs in Solid State batteries can get into production to keep EVs on schedule for coming out and lower prices.

Ultimate Fake News right there, it was from Facebook.

For me, Beautiful Appreciation of the SUVs. GMC nails it far better than the mess at Chevrolet especially recently.

I am honestly surprised Toyota has not just dropped all basic ICE and put various power levels of their Prius Hybrid system into all the auto's and move forward. This is my thinking also with how Chevrolet should have pushed the Volt system into CUVs way before everyone else rather than the tight little 4 door sedan they stuck with. I honestly find the Toyota style just like the Lexus to be butt ugly. The interior looks like a mashed up mess. This will sell well to the Lemming Faithful, but I would not expect it to gain market share unless everyone else just gives up of those that are left.

With really low oil and gas prices, the EV industry is going to be in for a rough couple of years according to this review / analyst. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/now-what-electric-vehicles-coronavirus-colin-mckerracher-bloomberg/

Wonderful NOT, incompetent leadership strikes again in that the EPA has removed the laws covering regulation of lead and other harmful emissions that can affect our kids and our health all for the all mighty dollar. https://electrek.co/2020/04/16/epa-kills-mercury-pollution-rule-putting-pregnant-women-minorities-at-risk/#more-130668

Amazing the BS Junk coming out of Germany. Guess they truly cannot compete in EVs so they are falling back on making their whole product lines Hybrids and that comes with Worse MPG and pathetic electric range at that. Why bother other than to continue the last 40 years of Lying marketing BS about their quality of auto since they cannot seem to engineer anything else. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1127832_2021-bmw-330e-plug-in-hybrid-23-electric-miles-but-worse-mpg-than-non-hybrid How do you bring out a new Hybrid with worse MPG on top of only a pathetic 23 miles of range. The Chevrolet Volt did better than this on pure electric and everything else. What a joke. Mercedes-benz is in the same boat, cannot deliver a quality true EV, so making the whole product line Hybrid by the end of 2020. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1127830_mercedes-benz-pushes-plug-in-hybrid-tech-will-have-20-phevs-by-end-of-2020 MB latest Hybrid is rated at 43 mpg on their European test which no one ever really gets due to the loopholes and lack of real world testing which is why our EPA results are so much more accurate. So MB Hybrids really only get about 20 mpg pure electric range. Wanna understand the difference between European testing of range and the EPA testing check out this writeup. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1091877_why-european-gas-mileage-ratings-are-so-high--and-often-wrong
