    wow, that truly burnt to the ground.

    Aren't most truly luxury items relatively bland and subtle for the price you pay for them? What about this is cheap in your eyes? The styling? Or have you sat in and gotten a chance to fiddle with the pieces that you actually feel? I guess I'm just confused how it can be cheap *at this stage of the game*. The point I am making is that Cadillac hit their ultimate stride of top quality materials and then they started to cheapen things up internally and externally. I am seeing MB do this as they expand their product line and once you grow too a certain point it seems executives then look for ways to cheapen up the auto to increase profits. The models they had at the Seattle Auto Show in Nov 2015 made me shake my head, as much as they did things right they also clearly went cheap in other areas.

    YAWN, Talk about a boring car on the outside. The rear is a dated rear as already mentioned and lets talk about the REDNECK lower front bumper with the Big Mouth Billy Bass openings on each side. How is this a luxury auto to aspire to when you have a bland un-motivational look. I will grant them that the interior dash is nice, much better than the floating nav crap we have seen. Inside I like much nicer than past interiors but just equalling what everyone else is doing now. Hate to say this but this E-Class reminds me of Cadillac peak just before Fake Leather and rebadging hit it's stride at GM. I wonder just how cheap MB will go next with this product.

    Other than trucks, towing and the commercial market, you see many people not happy with the dirty fuel of Diesel at the pump. It is a turnoff for many.

    This does give GM an advantage over everyone else as they are in with the customer NOW on Lyft and I can see Lyft putting together a deal for their drivers to buy GM autos for daily use in their job. Ford and Chrysler have nothing there yet.

    Could see them using extensive use of Carbon fiber including the rims of this car to get it to that speed.

    Sergio needs to go, FCA Needs to kill off the stupid waste of billions on a History name brand that never really sold and had terrible quality in the US and the world. Reinvest the money back into Dodge, Chrysler, Ram and Jeep. This will allow them to have funds to improve the pathetic product line called Fiat. Or just kill it off also as they are terrible cars. End result is the Charger is a lover car as is the 300. Yet they are now the boat anchors in the industry and they need to be replaced with lighter better autos. Guilia should be focused on just Chrysler as a luxury line, used for a performance line on Dodge and call it a good day.

    I think governments such as China, Japan and the US will use this to push for Volt type auto's and long range Electrics. This equals the death of Diesel cars.

    I am very impressed with Ceramic Knifes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_knife Cool knifes - http://kyoceraadvancedceramics.com/ceramic-advantage/why-ceramic Cool non-detectable folding ceramic knife.

    Really, I have always had great luck with GM's wiring schematics for autos in the 70's, 80's and 90's.

    I can see the Envision size being the smallest for Cadillac. I cannot see them doing a subcompact. That would be an error personally.
  13. G. David Felt
    Interesting, wonder how much pressure will be on Lyft to have their drivers use GM auto's.

    Reminds me of the Infiniti crossovers with the slopped back and useless inside cargo room. Just like the SRX which also has pathetic interior cargo room. Those slanted glass might look cool to some but kill the interior room for cargo carrying capacity. Station wagons did fine on MPG let them have their box size so you can still carry actual stuff in them.

    weird, does not work for me either.

    Still butt ugly as a car and no passion. Nothing to get excited about. Over rated and under delivered.
  19. G. David Felt
    Very interesting, while I am excited and hope they bring back a few white fill autos like the following: Chevy Trailblazer and Trailblazer SS GMC Typhoon GMC Syclone - Yes it is a truck. Over all I also hope they put the VOLT powertrain into a CUV.

    Is there a better link? The link takes me to a generic gmnext.com web site.
  21. G. David Felt
    Alfa, an over rated product that should have been left in the history books rather than the raping of Chrysler, Dodge, Ram and Jeep money to try and resurrect the pathetic auto line.
  22. G. David Felt
    That is very cool and a smart cookie. He did it as his thesis project, WOW.
  23. G. David Felt
    Glad to hear he is ok and you guys just had to deal with the stress of the scary situation. Totally agree that they need to communicate this better to users on when to use specific features during specific times of year. Weird that GM, Ford and Chrysler have had regenerative brakes for years and never had to have them be turned off for the winter. Something just does not sound right to me about that.

    Coming from the computer Industry, being a well educated Engineer does not make the company infallible to piss poor management. Anyone remember Digital Computer Corporation? Engineered some of the best storage, computers and other technology that much of the industry has been based on especially the AMD CPU's with their memory management and superior throughput for that time. This was all done by people who had PHD in Engineering and thought if they built superior products they would last forever as a company. Bought by Compaq who was then bought by HP. Engineers alone do not make a great company. In the long run they will die without much needed assistance from sales, marketing, etc. This does not mean they cannnot hire and get the right people in place but even then one must never take their eye off the end prize. MB has done great but is not the best company out there, no one is and eventually they will drop the ball and fall from grace as you perceive as the best luxury auto maker. History has proven that over and over again.

    So then you would agree that the Buick Encore AWD was done right then. That should be a model for both sedans and CUVs for AWD.
