  1. Auto show is dead, but Bentley, division of VW just released their new limited production to being 12 copies only built, all 12 sold at $1.9 million each of the Bentley Bacalar with a W12 650 hp 667 lb-ft torque AWD 2 door open coupe. https://www.autonews.com/geneva-auto-show/limited-run-bentley-bacalar-all-about-exclusivity UGLY UGLY UGLY for that amount of money! Wealth does not insure taste.
  2. So a Second Amendment dream come true. Shoot them, Shoot them all and let God sort them out! ?
  3. No dealership is perfect, but for me, the bulk of the work they do has not been a problem and it has been a while since I had any issues with them which they did take care of.
  4. Not sure where BMW thinks they are going with their Design language, but their i4 concept sedan EV is a Failure with that huge big mouth billy bass grill. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/03/03/bmw-i4-electric-car-concept-details-first-look/#slide-2213559 Hyundai Prophecy EV Concept sedan says Tesla / Porsche to me. Nice and way better looking than the BMW mess above. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/03/03/hyundai-prophecy-concept-electric-car/#slide-2213756
  5. Yes, my local Cadillac dealership still is hitting 100% for me.
  6. SS Synthetic every 7K miles or about every 90 days. Escalade is once a year Synthetic based on my current driving habits for road trips and garage kept. All the other auto's are also synthetic following a 7K change based on driving.
  7. Is there a specific point / part in the movie that made you depressed or just the over all story?
  8. Seedy Places increase oxygen.
  9. I really like and think Cadillac should have a 2 door performance auto. Yet with that said, right now, I would like Cadillac to get a full Luxury focused Car / SUV / CUV portfolio before attempting to do another V edition 2 door auto. Once they get a proper full depth auto portfolio, then I would say yes to them moving into a Performance Halo auto.
  10. As much as I and others have our own thoughts on Politics, lets keep this focused on Auto's please.
  11. You should also watch 28 days later and 28 weeks later. Both fun good movies!
  12. Like the days of Rome so are the end of various languages as humanity moves towards a single communication language. English seems to be the defacto business language and science language. According to Babbel which I see both Google and Bing point to as the #1 authoritative language we have the following Top 10 most used languages in the world. Chinese - 1.3 billion native speakers Spanish - 460 million native speakers English - 379 million native speakers, 753 million secondary speakers Hindi - 341 million native speakers Arabic - 315 million native speakers Bengali - 228 million native speakers Portuguese - 220 million native speakers Russian - 153 million native speakers Japanese 128 million native speakers Lahnda (western punjabi) - 118 million native speakers Top ten languages most spoken by people who speak them, we get a different list. English - 1.132 billion speakers Mandarin Chinese - 1.117 billion speakers Hindi - 615 million speakers Spanish - 534 million speakers French - 280 million speakers Standard Arabic - 274 million speakers Bengali - 265 million speakers Russian - 258 million speakers Portuguese - 234 million speakers Indonesian - 199 million speakers https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/the-10-most-spoken-languages-in-the-world
  13. Crazy, went to Costco to get a few things and the lines were unbelievable like it was xmas x 10. All the TP was sold out, paper towels, so much stuff in the freezer and meat section. It was like people are expecting an Apocalypse to happen. It honestly was crazy the amount of stuff people were buying. I can see crazy returns in a week once people get over this crazy virus hording avoiding thing going on. For those with strong immune systems, I see no problem with staying on top of washing hands, cleaning things and keeping distances from those that appear to be sick. I do think this will change the way people gather in the future.
  14. Considering in the past the Pleather versus leather differences, cloth differences, wood versus plastic wood, etc. I have to think there will be more of a difference than what MT has to say, there has been in the past. You also have that huge super screen dash which Yukon does not get. Be interesting to see them side by side and truly compare.
  15. That is where you are wrong, there is more than a styling difference, there is also as SMK loves to talk about on the high end of MB, interior material differences between Cadillac and GMC. Far more differences than I will waste time listing here, but there is if you really have spent time looking at the two.
  16. Yes you could say that if you want to ignore the differences both externally and internally to the auto. That is where the rub lays, MB has to cover all versions from Eco entry level auto to uber luxury auto and tends to try and charge a premium for a plastic coated auto at the bottom level when there are far better auto options out there. SMK pushes an agenda ignoring why Cadillac DOES NOT need an auto like an XT3. So many here have stated with the other GM brands, you have the bottom end covered and Cadillac should focus on mid to full size luxury and not waste R&D resources on the bottom end served by Buick / GMC.
  17. You have just answered your own question as to why Cadillac does not have an XT3. NO NEED since Buick has this covered and Luxury buyers are not interested in such a small micro auto. Only posers who care about a badge more than luxury comfort would buy this and while BMW and MB do not have other brands to sell, they have gone from a Luxury only to covering from cheap entry level to luxury to compete with GM Chevrolet/Buick-GMC/Cadillac. Nothing Else needs to be said.
  18. Yes they do assist you while also increasing the speed one can go.
  19. Need to Import the Coronavirus19 into the country and all will be ok. @oldshurst442 Belated Happy B-Day my friend. Rest and recover. The business can survive a few days without you. As smart as Bone Spurs on his feet.
  20. Damn, this is a sharp looking truck. New 1500 sport edition Ram.
  21. Kicking this month off with a commercial spotting at the gym. Why GM is missing the beat with marketing. Awesome Toyota commercial, they do not have an EV out yet, they admit it as they say EVs today are a great commuter auto. Then they do this: Wanna go places? Check out the biggest lineup of Hybrid auto's. They review all of them and end with their tag "Let's go places" Well done Toyota.
  22. Rematch of Tesla Cyber Truck versus Ford F150. This had me cracking up, talk about crazy power in that half scale Cyber Truck! Tesla won in Court against the tree huggers and has in a very short time cleared all the trees to build their new European Battery and Auto assembly line and design center in Germany. https://electrek.co/2020/02/29/tesla-finished-clearing-trees-giga-berlin/#more-124601
  23. Exciting battery tech is moving forward as RoadRunner, Tesla's dry anode in house battery design out of Canada seems to be making headway as they push to disrupt the Auto world with Auto's on price parity with no rebates by 2025. This is the big push that GM, FORD, BMW and others have all said would come by having $100 per kWh cost of denser batteries to allow the EV to equal ICE and in many ways exceed them. This super dense project will also allow Tesla to move far beyond the 200 to 300 mile battery pack with 400 to 500 mile battery packs at reduced size and weight. https://electrek.co/2020/02/26/tesla-secret-roadrunner-project-battery-production-massive-scale/
  24. Jeep has entered the e-Bike market to compete with GM and others as they have released their Fat Tire all terrain bike. https://jeepe-bike.com/ 40 miles on a Charge for $5,899 per bike. Alternative web sites say that the motor and suspension system based on a Chinese company can have the bike sustain 37 miles per hour. Talk about a fast way to travel if you have dedicated safe bike lanes. In normal road traffice, you might not want to be going so fast.
  25. You must be driving one of those camo craptastic Prius with 52 mpg to get 400 miles in 5 min. @ocnblu forgets he is no different than an EV needing about 8hrs to recharge every day himself.
