I question if this is really a competitor to the CT6 or will even in Black Level Trim be that luxurious. I do like what I am seeing at the gallery Continental Gallery So far, hate me if you want but I have not been impressed with Lincoln fit n finish and interior room. For the pricing, they better be delivering on the goods otherwise this will blow up in their face.

G. David Felt Staff Writer Alternative Energy - www.CheersandGears.com Apple Car Boom or Bust? So the question has to be asked of forum members, is this iCar a boom or bust for Apple and is this what the millennial crowd wants? Being that Apples biggest market is the millennial crowd I am wondering if this brick of a self driving electric auto is what they really want. Steve Jobs originally stated that Apple would work on an iCar and we ended up with this released drawing: Motor Trend had an exclusive first look at the iCar and this is what they ended up building: MT 13 Cool Features Story MT Industry Insiders Opine on Apple Car MT Apple Car Lie Down Till it Passes - Why they should NOT enter the auto industry. MT Apple Car Exclusive - Game Changer? MT Apple Car - But will you Love it? MT Tech Design experts Talk Apple What are your thoughts? Boom or Bust?

For some reason the jpeg didn't show up.. but all fixed See it now! WOW that is one ugly luxury dealership. Reminds me of Cadillac old dealerships and they suck. Yea I love my cadillac dealership as the people are awesome, but the building that was an old Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Hummer dealership and now just Cadillac but really needs to be rebuilt. I really wish Cadillac NA would step up to the same level of service Cadillac is touting in China. http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/f13/cadillac-treats-chinese-shoppers-vips-sales-up-62-a-49883/

Am I missing something or do I not see a MB dealership in the above post? ^^^^^
-
The top dealership is what I would like to see for all Cadillac dealerships. The bottom is nice but also says dated. I like the top flow and look.

While I love the stand alone dealerships, I do wonder about this as I am seeing more and more MB dealerships that also have Sprint and Smart cars on them as MB seems to be going to this one stop all dealerships. Makes one wonder if BMW will be doing this as they move to have BMW/Mini in one building. Personally I love the stand alone Dealerships we see in China. Cadillac does need this also. I love my Doug's Northwest Cadillac, the people are great, but the dealership is an old Cadillac, Buick and Oldsmobile building that is now only Cadillac. Luxury this does not say to me!

Very true, the CT6 is a competitor to the E-Class and can compete fine there. The CT8 will come in the future once Cadillac fills out their portfolio.

Just read on Tesla's web site that the Tesla 3 will be a 0-60 auto at 6 sec. The Chevy Bolt has been stated 0-60 under 7 sec. So this is going to be a very interesting battle on how they truly end up hitting their numbers. One area that BOLT beats Tesla 3 is in Interior capacity. The BOLT has been stated now as with the back row folded down you get 56.6 cubic ft of cargo capacity. Tesla is estimating 50 cubic ft of cargo with the rear trunk, seats folded down and the small trunk in the front. This is going to be an interesting story to watch as GM and Tesla push getting their auto's out into the market place.

Interesting story on why GM will beat Tesla. http://www.newsweek.com/2016/04/22/tesla-general-motors-electric-car-sales-model-3-chevy-bolt-447054.html This will be a wait and see for me.

Gotta say this is a classic song that is so enjoyable to listen too!

New Tesla S Tesla 3 Both need some Auto Style Plastic Surgery especially compared to the other EV companies releaseing this summer.
-
SO BMW lost the Driving Machine to America, Especially Camaro and Mustang so they milk their hardcore fans by doubling the M price. Got it!

No offense taken guys, I consider myself a manly man and love my V8 Powered AWD Trailblazer SS. With that said and those that know me know I have all SUVs with V8's. Just the future is cool and I do see us eventually going to EVs. They are cool and in time with tuning and engineers pushing the limits we will see EVs surpass the petrol motor I believe. Here is my baby all cleaned up for Spring!
-
But it will never sound as good as a LS engine. Electric and even the Turbo 4 engines as good as they are will never live up to the sound of a good old V8. Just watch the video of he Venom setting the convertible speed record as it passes by. No Tesla would ever sound that good. Not so sure about that, but this Worlds Fastest Electric Corvette has that lovely Jet sound as it sets a new world record.

Nothing like steel around you. Why I only drive full size SUVs.

Guess we have more competition. Did not realize that Fisker Karma along with Bob Lutz revealed their new Electric car to go into production this year also. VLF Destino
-
All improvements are good. I do wonder if it is enough with Karma releasing their Generation 2 car this summer. Gen 1 Web Site

We'll at least it lost the complete jelly bean look but then I really do not care for the Tesla 3 look so it is the same for the new Tesla S series. To me the front still looks like it got punched in the nose.
-
I would like to see the over all mechanics of how the Tesla works just like we see for the BOLT. Very cool stuff at least to me from an engineering standpoint. Us engineering nerds love to see how things work. Agree, Buick Avista with the EV Motor I suggested would be a lovely ride and would be an incentive for me to buy it.
