I hear the East coast has 93, but west coast is all 91, very weird. I still think most auto's only need regular to still offer an amazing ride.

Totally agree, Seattle is the same way, at most 3 months a year of decent weather for bike riding, rest of the year. PASS, too wet or frozen.

Thank you for posting the video. I now wonder how many people who already cannot balance cellphone use with driving will be distracted by this trying to optimize their speed to the system to hit all green lights. I do question the value of this.

Sounds like a technology that would go well with automated driverless auto's. Human nature is to get from A to B as fast as you can and ignoring signals by cutting through parking lots, alley ways, etc.

You are correct, the original 2.0 Turbo for Cadillac is rated at 93 octane for it's HP / Torque figures and produces less when on 87, but Cadillac does strongly recommend you stay with Premium fuel. This updated Turbo 4 is tuned for 87 from the beginning.

Do not forget the cool Blue tooth connectivity, recharging dock and place to hold your phone. Yes it has that and I am being sarcastic as the bulk of people in Seattle do not bike ride in the rain up and down hills.

2017, lets look at 2019 now Pricing has almost dropped in half and if your in an EV friendly state like I am or in this case, the West Coast of Washington, Oregon and California. The local power utilities will install it for free and charge you the on average cost of $593 as they will make it back in the charging cost you pay for power. https://www.improvenet.com/r/costs-and-prices/electric-car-charger-station-installation-cost Like everything as production scales up, costs go down.

Brexit is the reason they are just too polite to say it. Traditional Japanese way of never say no and never insult your guest no matter how rude they might be. Japanese ruthless business sense is they can build the automotive trend setting auto's, CR-V in Japan and export it all over Europe at a lower cost and probably higher quality building it in a robotized plant in Japan over the work force of UK or Turkey. As far as the production / jobs quote at the end, they have to hire to get manufacturing facilities ready in Japan as 2021 is not far away.

My fear is that GM has already killed the Blazer like they did the Trailblazer. They only built the SS after building plenty of appliance regular ones. The Trailblazer SS is what should have been the base and then taken it capable handling to the next level with a Premier and true SS version. The blazer is a fine appliance auto for getting from Point A to B and yet that is about all I get from what I have seen and read so far. GM Failed to take the passion of the auto with the history of being an off road CUV and making it that from the beginning. 2019 Blazer is just another street appliance in a different set of cloths. Yes it will sell and sell once they throw money on the hood. Will it trend set? NO Blazer, ? Poor execution on what it really could have been.

WOW, did not realize just how much they match now. Chevrolet with that damn ugly Predator mouth.

Just think we could have a Cadillac Pecking Duck!

Been working since 5am PST and still at it, so quickly looked and responded, as you know many of us without the proper Emojii seem to have a hard time reading Sarcastic comments!

Would make sense but I doubt it.

According to all the news outlets, the Suburban/Yukon XL and Escalade ESV plus their Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade will have IRS plus so much more. There is talk of a Hybrid coming back and a Diesel version. http://gmauthority.com/blog/2018/05/2020-suburban-independent-rear-suspension/ https://www.carscoops.com/2018/05/new-2020-chevy-suburban-prototype-tries-hide-independent-rear-suspension/ https://suvtrend.com/gmc/2020-gmc-yukon/ https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a20888486/2020-chevrolet-suburban-will-feature-independent-rear-suspension/

I agree that everyone should target for ZERO, but just too many people seem deluded by claiming more than they should and then complaining about a tax bill that this year seems to be even bigger.

Based on statistics we have the following: Top Fuel run record of 339.87 MPH https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/motor-sports/nhra-racer-robert-hight-sets-speed-mark-with-339-mph-run/ Top Fuel goes 0 to 100 mph in .8 seconds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Fuel Which is faster, top fuel or funny cars?

They plan to have dragsters by 2020 at 380 MPH and have acknowledged that they can hit the limits of rubber tires which is 497 mph or 800 km/h. https://newatlas.com/top-ev-electric-drag-racing-top-fuel/50741/ Interesting is that world wide, dragracing has a limit of top speed of 328.8 MPH according to the NDRA, only place left with no limit top speed is Australia where they are pushing to hit 400 mph in a 1/4 mile with the 10,000 HP motors. The goal of the Australia National Electric Drag Racing Association is to beat every record set by ICE within the next couple years. Electric drag racing is just as dangerous as ICE drag racing. To Quote the NEDRA: Its 1,000-volt, 5,000-odd horsepower motor might fall short of the peak power figures of the Top Fuel cars, but it'll generate more than 17,000 pound-feet (23,049 Nm) of torque from zero RPM, has more "power strokes" per revolution, and should use its muscle in a far more controllable way than the combustion cars. We're talking about enough potential power, mounted within a foot behind my head, to run a whole suburb of houses with lights and appliances switched on. The electro-chemical energy density of the battery pack is equivalent to more than 18 kilos of TNT. If that's to short circuit and dissipate all the energy in the power pack, you're dealing with 18 kilos of TNT essentially, plus high speed and stability at those high speed you're pressing the boundary of.

Considering what MB has done with the G-Wagon for so long, I see no problem with ubber luxury and executive packaged Escalades along with a proper V edition.

Tahoe, Yukon and Escalade in short base form. Suburban, Yukon XL and Escalade ESV in long base form.

I am enjoying this updated Opera way better than any others so far. Gonna stick it out and see how long before they piss me off again. But for plug-ins I see lots of options for stuff here: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/ @Drew Dowdell Seems your desire is what others have figured out. Follow this thread to get Grammarly plug-in installed on Opera. https://forums.opera.com/topic/26251/opera-grammarly-extension Use this one as the actual thread https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/install-chrome-extensions/ Let me know how it works for you.

Cadillac has that coming in the form of BEV3 EVs. Covered.

Yes for ICE it is a Slippery slop to the demise of old ways of doing things that have had their time. From Racing to drag racing everyone else can see the exciting future of electric's racing, driving and buzzing around. Enjoy my friend living in the past.

If the 310HP or 323HP in the Camaro can with a Turbo Package get up to 620HP, then the TTV6 should easily beat that and be more than enough for any auto as I am sure they could easily add on another 300HP to the default HP figure.

If it brings quality with tight fit n finish of new auto's that keeps the name plate alive and not just a cheap ass badge engineered job, I am fine with looking to the GM Buick group in China for inspiration. Hopefully this is BEV3 platform focused EVs for the US market place.

OMG, you found my weakness, Love to eat hot bread with soft melting butter, garlic butter, irish butter, YUMMY hot Bread with all kinds of Spreads. That is why working out is such a big deal to me. Gotta work out so I can afford eating what I love. My 3 top passions are Skiing, Working out and Wine! Course you will see my auto passion and photography passion on my Instagram account too. From my Wine Collection From my leg day workout From my Ski day

This is also how technology will change and keep racing alive as complexity goes away as simplification takes over for a level playing field. Hopefully we see more young people who can see the fun of racing with the lower cost of electric motors while still being safe enter into the sport.
