    So Nikola has poked the Beast Musk, as he now is working on a Semi Solution. Interesting! Makes one wonder just how long before cities require these trucks internally for local deliveries.

    Since we have many various thoughts on the design direction, I thought it might be nice to grab and compare the current products that are still with us and the evolution they have taken. The one thing this does prove is that the headlights need to stay a vertical design. Yet we can find horizontal headlights in the past but we do not need to mimic BMW, MB or Audi. Cadillac needs to keep their own styling trend and Johan need to man up focus on the rich history of the Unique Cadillac rather than copying his German lovefest of Sausage! Cadillac Escalade 1999 to 2016 SRX-XT Generations SRX 2004 to 2009 SRX 2010 to 2016 2017 XT5 CTS Generations Gen 2003-2007 Gen 2008 to 2013 Gen 2014 to 2016

    Yes, love the new Logo!

    expanded cars should be on hold as they do need to focus on making the product line right and tweaking existing auto's to be best in class. I am also saying it here, If Johan does not see that the industry is changing and that the focus should be on plug-in Hybrids and EV's, they need to cut him loose and bring in a true visionary. Twin Turbo and V10/12 engines are a dying place that has limited future growth besides 1 to 2 generations out at most covering 4-8 years. I would question putting to many resources into old petro technology.

    Full details are interestings, 10K, 12K or 15K options and for $89 extra a month you can add AWD. https://www.tesla.com/models/design?redirect=no&utm_medium=email&utm_source=communication&utm_campaign=NA-US-2_Year_Lease_Option&utm_term=C&utm_content=announcement&mkt_id=1541465&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWTJFME9USmtORFEyTXpKaiIsInQiOiJZN1I3bVY5ZWhkNHhoa2h1TzdSYXhsaHJoU2RkVlBvVGJmcUQramxTTGJTb1wvVkJ0YzNEaCtxMDBvQkN5Y3E3MHhyRThPU2NTV0diUGVxZ1g5ZFZabnpUWStUYXo1clRQVFdcL2UxcFZ1czdrPSJ9

    Cool, I hope they finish it using a gas engine or better yet, CNG or Hydrogen maybe. But reality is a hybrid with gas engine short term solution as they need to move to pure EV.

    I really like the new web site, so is the timeline look the new way unread forum posts will always show now in this version? Agree with others that I do like the new software, but have to get used to the changes also as I search for stuff.

    G. David FeltAlternative Fuels & Propulsion writerwww.CheersandGears.com What could the Tesla Truck look like? Stories are flying all over the internet, many folks are just loving the Hyper chatter that Musk brings when he talks about something very cryptic. I went in search of what this truck was, could be and found nothing firm but plenty of pictures. Clearly some are photoshops of old concepts especially the GMC truck, that I have always loved. Review them below including what Chris Doane has done and then sound off on what your thoughts are about an EV truck, style, etc.

    Weird, but edge on the same page looks fine, but Firefox also looks just like chrome.

    Hey Drew, I am thinking this is what you mean by formatting, but currently my Chrome browser looks like this:

    Interior is cool, not sure on some of the fine details they did, but hey, it is a concept. Exterior, Hate the coupe look. Been done to death. Rear Sucks, keep a more traditional vertical tail light. Front, over all fine but loose the horizontal head lights like everyone has mentioned and get to a vertical set, a true symbol of Cadillac.

    Awwww dang.. lolI actually thought I had a good idea goin for them. I didn't think about the sports teams. I just thought it was good because it was 100% American and had some actual value behind it other than a random name or just another old name being reused. I don't care that they've had foreign names, bring $h! back to AMERICA! Why NOT bring names back to America? Is there any other form of naming that could/would represent America? Gotta pass on the city naming thing, after all we are trying to build and sell a global brand. We need more global planet wide names. Course I am sure ganges in various cities would love it. You can see it now, I drive a Cadillac Dallas North Side Edition! Rollin Rollin dang.. lol Why does it have to be global names just because the brand is global? It's an American iconic brand. I mean if that is the case we could go with globally powerful cities but that just seems awkward.. Ohhhh well, just an idea that I thought was actually awesome. Apparently not so much.. lol Howe about the 7 wonders of the world labels? We could cover some awesome places with proper names that would be global and let the auto's speak their American roots as is. Come up with a series of Cars, SUVs and Trucks based on Iconic places around the world.

    Ehh, The northy Neighbors are not Polite? H'mmmm We'll what do you expect from a crazy social country, not like they have Trump to deal with or Hilly! The US ultimate Dumb N Dumber. Such a sad state of our political affairs.

    Yup you just want a Sausage Fest! Bratwurst, Ballpark, Kosher, etc... To be honest. I like my sausages THICK. Minimum 1 foot long.... For me its Costco's Kirkland sausages.... Just in case you missed on the homo-erotic sexual undertones because TV Screen... Here is another: Its hard to stay excited with all this "start/stop" technology to save a few bucks on fuel when its such a small advantage. We'll at least you went Kosher!, After all Hebrew Nation makes Kirkland Signature Beef Dinner Franks! I do agree, sucks to have to start n stop. Rather just rev the V8 to the finish line and win like all American Pushrods do!

    That image does look like a Cadillac logo on the front. This would have made an awesome halo sports car for Cadillac.

    Very Cool, too bad this did not happen sooner. I agree sell it as a Cadillac. Love the Story in the AU web site. http://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/motoring/new-book-reveals-holden-designed-a-top-secret-electric-supercar-just-before-the-2008-global-financial-crisis/news-story/68abb82af582eb4e0f4921082352f833 More images at the story online.

    Not on reliability. They have their place and purpose. What I'm leary of is some rather dubious fuel economy advantage claims certain manufacturers make over larger displacement non-turbo engines. I have no qualms with a turbo engine in of itself, but I remain unconvinced that it is inherently superior to an engine of larger cylinder count and/or displacement in terms of fuel economy. I totally agree with you on this point! Would love to hear from people who live in hilly areas like San Francisco, Seattle, etc. Would be interesting to hear how the start / stop works on the hills and if there is more roll back or not?

    It isn't fully loaded at 37,500. Cloth seating. But, "Chevy Bolt hatchback pricing was announced at $37,500 back in January, though pricing could still fluctuate closer to the car’s winter launch. Standard features include a big 10.2-inch MyLink infotainment system with an EV-specific navigation function, 360-degree cameras, and Wi-Fi. Based on how Chevy positioned the Spark EV, there will likely be another higher-spec trim level priced in the low $40,000 range that will come with safety features like forward collision alert and blind spot assistance, as well as leather." http://www.motortrend.com/news/tesla-model-3-vs-chevrolet-bolt-know-comparison/ If so, I hope I can get the leather and other luxury features I want without the nanny stupid idiot devices like the waste of money forward collision alert and blind spot. The blind spot I have come to see as a big distraction constantly blinking in the side mirror on the freeways. Oh you know that still will all be in one package that probably has like heated seats or something that you actually really want. But isn't that stuff usually capable of being turned off? Yes in the cadillacs I have driven, I was able to turn it off, but more and more I am seeing the stupid ultra liberals saying it needs to be enforced as it protects everyone and must be on at all times. I hope we never have to give up the ability to turn some stupid device off.

    Is that what your mom said about your Phallus? Fresh N Frosty, sounds like a Dairy Queen Commercial. "Come in and get your Fresh N Frosty Phallus while supplies last!" Courtesy of FapTurbo!

    Granted this is far better looking than the Tesla S which I honestly do not like and think the Karma is far better looking auto in the same price range. MB needs to dump those stupid looking thin wing like rear view mirrors and just go with camera stubs that have been approved in Japan already so that you get a full view in your center stack of both sides and rear. MB also needs to dump the stand up emblem and use a 3D hologram type emblem on the hood. That is the one item that is just so dated on this concept, that stand up emblem. MB hopefully will make the doors gullwing or suicide type. If your going to do the concept right, then they better not have standard normal door openings.
