    Seattle Tesla in an old brick building Tesla Bellevue in Bellevue Mall. They clearly sell a ton of them as you see them everywhere, but the stores are nothing like what has been posted above.

    Idiot, You could see the writing on the wall long ago and should have had a plan by now for this not waiting to the last minute. This also tells me he will continue to ignore the american brands as long as he can steal all the profits with outdated products.

    Be interesting to see what they do with the BOLT Bones. This could be what the wife will approve to buy then.

    That is a fancy dealership, have not seen one like this before. Washington state are all retail like stores at the malls here and Pet Boys is their service centers. I honestly have not had a good experience going to Pet Boys to get auto parts, rather use Napa or even O'Reilly's.

    WOW, You must have DUMB blinders on. 0-60 in 5.6 sec and that matches the BOLT. Second, 220 mile range, Fails to match or best BOLT, 238 miles Highway, 255 miles City. The Motor Trend is all subjective as the Guilia sucks and is NOT the best handling 4 Door auto out there. Why not buck up to the fact of your HATRED for anything GM that has trumped MB and Tesla. Better yet, take a Go Pro and go test drive the Guilia and post your own reactions to the auto than just spew out others subjective rant.

    Bland Car, minimalist FAILURE for the interior. They should have had HUD if they are not going to give instrumentation in front of the driver. FAILURE - SAFETY FAILURE - BIG SAFETY FAILURE. Anyone that thinks they can be CHEAP by giving no instrumentation in front of the driver and end up having the driver look away from the road to the center of the dash is no different than distracted driving by playing candy crush on your smartphone. TESLA FAILED in this auto. I will give them props for a clean looking dash that I feel BOLT failed at with the stupid White V. GM should have gone traditional dash all black. Otherwise GM nailed the BOLT, far superior auto than this. $59K for a luxury auto that looks cheap outside and inside. Pathetic, this is as cheap and half ass as MB EV auto compliance crap on the West Coast. YES, MB EV auto is crap, been in it and it is a true Mitsubishi garbage auto as the real Mitsubishi EV.

    Did I guess right????

    Let me Guess the Mitsuoka Himiko Roadster from Hiroshima Japan http://www.mitsuoka-motor.com/global/lineup/new/himiko/ and VW T-Cross Breeze These are my choices.

    Yet based on idiot boy, the Germans and Asians will have luxury hybrids and EV's out before Cadillac even shows one. So many have stated to have them out by 2020 and he is saying later half of 2020-2030. Me think he blew his wad on moving Cadillac to NY and saying look at me as head of Cadillac rather than building and delivering awesome auto's.

    One would think that having sealed wheel wells and undercarriage would be common sense, but then I guess Detroit counts on rusting out auto's to force replacement.
  11. G. David Felt
    to de Nysschen. This is common sense and Cadillac should already have EV's planned, more hybrids and the XT4 and 6 should be here at auto shows this fall with roll out next year. He is proving himself to be too little too late as he did at every other auto company he worked at.

    Idiot crashes and totals his $288,000 Scuderia Ferrari 60 min after picking it up from dealership. http://fortune.com/2017/07/28/ferrari-430-scuderia-crash-m1-highway/?iid=sr-link1

    Nice looking in an old Rolls way. Guess the extreme wealthy truly do not like change or variety. Will stay with my Escalade, far better auto than this in my life style.

    @A Horse With No Name Very cool about the wipers, thank you

    @A Horse With No Name Cats for you! Ultimate Cat Addiction, Huffing Auto's!!!

    I agree Sandy Privates are not fun! Interesting is that there is updates in the UK and France to outright ban 10yr old diesels and not renew their yearly license. Pulling them off the road in 2018 if they get passed. I will say that is a bit extreme, but then I also can understand as they do not test for pollution like in the states. Emissions should be kept in check.

    Tech is here, you look at the new round of wireless charging phones. Tech is here, just not polished yet or has it been tested on a large scale. Nissan as I posted a while back has a complete wireless charging system for their future leaf's. The end result is having pads in the ground, you park over it and it charges your auto, then you just get in and drive away. I suspect the next 5 years will be interesting as Euro, American and Asian auto companies bring out various options. Biggest challenge is getting auto companies to think beyond a mere slow charge. GM with the Bolt should have taken a page from Tesla and put in the high speed charging, it would have really changed the game and forced others to step up faster if GM would have supported faster than an 80kWh charger. This allows a constant 50kWh charge into the battery pack and just shy of 90 min for full charge of the battery. We both know that the german brands are all looking at 3 times this kWh charging to reduce it down to 30 min full charge, 15 min 80% charged. Here is to an Electron future.

    Nope disagree, SMK just as you think the world is best with MB and everything is best no matter eco box to s class, there are those fans that love the other labels. MB did not leave the low end to the other labels till now. There are plenty of people who see garbage when they look at MB compared to their preferred auto line. I have coworkers that think Audi is better than anything else in the world and I know people who think this way about Jag, BMW etc. S class might pick up some sales by selling a cheaper S class, though I think they will hurt themselves, but will wait to see what happens. After all you think MB SUV's like G wagon are the best even when Drew posted picture of mismatched screws, interior trim piece colors and fit n finish issues and yet Escalade clearly is unaffected by G Wagon sales.

    Searching found some interesting reports. Updated report from 2014 - http://www.indystarmedia.com/images/uploads/attachments/New_Vehicle_Buyer_Demographics.pdf 2014 report that shows Millennials top Gen X buyers for new auto's - http://www.autonews.com/article/20140801/RETAIL/140809978/millennials-top-gen-x-in-new-car-buying-for-first-time Another 2014 report saying Millennials are excited about buying a new auto - http://www.jdpower.com/cars/articles/jd-power-studies/young-car-buyers-are-excited-about-buying-cars Now we have a June 24th 2016 GOV report - Young and Careless - Demographics of who is buying new auto's - https://www.federalreserve.gov/econresdata/notes/feds-notes/2016/the-young-and-the-carless-the-demographics-of-new-vehicle-purchases-20160624.html Clearly the age of auto buyers continues to increase according to the government compared to all the other studies.

    Plus all my SUV's have low rpm torque V8's so they move, Even my 1994 suburban with a rebuilt 402 gives me most of the Torque from 1000 RPM onward in a flat line to red line. So Yes, I know we can build torquey motors with decent usable HP, not these head shaking over rated DOHC engines.
  21. G. David Felt
    My friend, you should look for a low milage 3-5 year old one that can be dealer certified and get the OEM extended warranty but save a bundle and buy one. I helped my sister with a 4 year old Escalade since her and her husband could not afford new. Been an outstanding auto for them and is an outstanding way to go for getting into a high end SUV for a low end price.
  22. G. David Felt
    Makes sense and is understandable. This is a bleeding artery and front line triage needs to be done. Cut loose those losses and save the ones that require it. Crush, crush them all almost.
  23. G. David Felt
    Excited as I like this new CUV, but hate the Engine. Not a fan of these high HP, low torque engines.
  24. G. David Felt
    So true as to why I have my Escalade. The best Road tripping ride around for Full size. The Jeeps are awesome as a mid size suv for road trips too. So many awesome options.
  25. G. David Felt
    Understandable and yet I wonder of the geography of the area to Europe or Asia is playing a role. I do not know of any middle income folks and especially high tech engineers who own and drive VW products. Here you fall into two camps, the German crowd or the Asian Crowd if single or married no kids. Families here in Washington seem to be all American Detroit companies in relations to luxury SUVs / CUVs.
