  1. Outstanding insight that is much needed to balance out the actual picture. Thank you,
  2. Cool, I have to say there is lots to like about this EV.
  3. Who knew Henry Ford accepting the Grand Cross of the German Eagle from Nazi Officials for his work.
  4. Seems some Geometry fan of Cars got their wish and Triangled it all out!
  5. https://jalopnik.com/why-did-this-genius-truck-bed-hatch-take-so-long-to-inv-1828494840 Story at the above link but I have to agree, a bed cover that can act as a slider and a lift is awesome. Had my fair share of Tonneau covers and this is super slick having both.
  6. Meh, I would rather have this Ford or the 1950 GMC Truck rescue.
  7. https://jalopnik.com/harley-davidsons-most-innovative-product-isnt-a-motorcy-1828496460 Looks cool, great way to figure out a variety of road trip paths and options for bike fun.
  8. Pictures have stopped uploading @Drew Dowdell Other than not able to post the cool picture of the Camaro Wagon at the Dream cruise, the modern ride is found here in multiple different pictures. https://jalopnik.com/this-chevrolet-camaro-wagon-spotted-on-the-street-looks-1828496582
  9. Welcome Howard to C&G, awesome looking truck. Look forward to chatting with you here about all things auto's and your COE baby!
  10. I think this is all tied into the image issue @Drew Dowdell said he was working on. Not sure why but I lost my image quote too. Very weird.
  11. Sweet, more awesome electric options.
  12. I actually agree with CCAP41, that with plug-in hybrids and EVs that the CUV craze is not going anywhere but we could see the death of most cars and traditional SUVs as people move to a Lifestyle CUV that better meets their needs. As OEMs move to a global platform and as we move away from ICE auto's, I can see a platform that you just choose the type of cab you want that then gets connected to the skateboard type platform and boom you have your auto done. Auto assembly as seen in the Movie MInority Report is the future of where we are heading.
  13. Love the Corvette look inside and out compared to the mustang and miata. I would not turn down a Mustang though if offered to me. Miata, that can die as too small and not comfy at all for me.
  14. Is the Camaro on the same platform as the ATS/CTS or the now to be CT4/CT5? e-class cabriolet did not show up in the search. Weird as looking at other sites it does not show up either yet go to MBUSA site and they show it. Updated that list for 2018 as they do not show it for 2019 yet.
  15. FCA has some hard reality to address in the future and that is cutting on over bloated workforce on terrible products that no one really wants to buy except that they are cheap. Welcome to a new world and I believe FCA choose an American to lead who is willing to cut the workforce in places that socialist have believed they have control of but really do not.
  16. @Cubical-aka-Moltar @ccap41 I understand you both think they should have convertibles, but I honestly do not see the sales numbers to justify it at all. I even expect them to shrink in the future till we get to a universal EV platform where it is really easy to make one. The biggest reason against it is the added engineering work to reinforce safety requirements in a convertible which increase costs. Plus with the large increase in skin cancer, more and more people are NOT wanting to be exposed to the sun as proven by the huge increase in blacked out windows to keep the auto cool inside and reduce the UV issues. With that said, I was interested in wondering what convertibles are available and here is the list as what I could find for each OEM. I am sure not all the 2019 models are out yet, but it is a much smaller list as the industry moves over to CUV's as the dominate auto over cars. 2018 Convertibles Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Aston Martin Vanquish Audi A3 Audi S5 Audi TT Bentley Continental GT BMW 230 BMW 430 BMW 440 BMW 640 BMW 650 BMW M240 BMW M4 BMW M6 Buick Cascada Chevrolet Camaro Chevrolet Corvette Fiat 124 Spider Fiat 500C Ford Mustang Jaguar F-Type Lamborghini Aventador S Lamborghini Huracan Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Maserati GranTurismo Mazda MX-5 Miata Mercedes-Benz AMG SL Mercedes-Benz AMG SLC Mercedes-Benz C-class Mercedes-Benz E-class Mercedes-Benz SL Mercedes-Benz SLC Mini Convertible Nissan 370Z Porsche 718 boxster Porsche 911 Rolls-Royce Dawn Smart fortwo Volkswagen Beetle 2019 convertibles Alfa Romeo 4C Spider BMW 230 BMW 430 BMW 440 BMW M240 BMW M4 Buick Cascada Chevrolet Camaro Chevrolet Corvette Fiat 124 Spider Ford Mustang Jaguar F-Type Mercedes-Benz AMG SL Mercedes-Benz AMG SLC Mercedes-Benz SL Mercedes-Benz SLC Mini Convertible Nissan 370Z I still do not see value in building a convertible for Cadillac until the full portfolio of auto's is built and done. Info gathered from cars.com web site. https://www.cars.com
  17. I think Convertibles are such a small % of the market that there is no justification to bother building one for Cadillac. Yes, many think they are cool, but who actually buys them is a much smaller percentage. Better to focus on other models that can add to the profit line than convertibles. Right now just getting a full product line would be a start.
  18. Performance is always good to have as a halo model!
  19. Yes going to be interesting to see how they give it the interior space of an S class when it is looking like a size or more below the over all body. Yes EV power trains allow better interior space layout, but still, Kinda crazy.
  20. All your future auto's will be made only plug in Hybrid just to make sure you super pucker!
  21. Agree, I suspect you will find manual enthusiast looking to pick up a deeply discounted model come the end of this year. I would not be surprised to see 10K plus off to move these auto's as there are so few people who drive a manual now.
  22. Sizable amount of Inventory? Checked the 5 washington state dealers. Bellevue has 1 Everyone else has none. Such choices.
  23. Yet that picture is very deceptive as the mules running around California are much lower when compared to other auto's.
  24. Stopping at a yummy cafe to eat, got out of the auto and saw across the street this Maverick Grabber. Very clean with the Washington state collectors plate on it. Walked across and checked out this little Grabber with the 302.
