Google and Car Makers at odds over Self-Driving Cars
G. David Felt replied to kittyworker's topic in Industry News
Please Snap a Photo of these sell running Caddies! I agree for those motorist who would rather be on Facebook over paying attention to driving it would be great and let the auto cars be programmed to always stay to the right. Let those of us that love to drive drive. -
I hope with the refreshed Terrain, they bring back an AWD Typhoon Edition.

We'll this should sell better than their first attempt with the Maybach name. Wonder if it will take the same 50% depreciation hit that they tend to do so fast.

Michigan Governor Signs Bill Banning Direct Auto Sales
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Tesla
Simple, if the MFG's want to go retail like Tesla, then they have to purchase out the franchises for a fair market price and run them as delivery / repair centers only. -
Not until I am forced to as I love to drive.

Very interesting, watched some of their videos. Lots of broken Carbon Fiber but looks like fun. Much quieter due to electric powertrains. Plenty of torque as you can see many spinning wheels at the start and through out the race. I was wondering how they kept them going and so you can do a battery swap or a complete car swap to have your full charge.

Michigan Governor Signs Bill Banning Direct Auto Sales
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Tesla
I am sure there was valid reasons for the time to protect franchise but no more. This out of date thinking needs to be retired like most over the hill out of touch politicians. -
This is Great. Once people stop thinking GM and only think Chevy, Buick, GMC Cadillac it will be much more positive. The lesson to learn here is that GM can make universal parts that can be used across business units but the exterior and interior need to stand apart on their own.

So if Cadillac does a inline 6 you will then bash it as being the old Chevy straight 6 from the trailblazer.- 30 replies

G. David Felt replied to kittyworker's topic in Industry News
20 years to be legal and another 20 to become common like a Prius and then 20 more years to replace the bulk of auto's. About 60 years from now. -
That is very weird. Hope they get caught by the law. DDOS just hurts everyone.

Electric Conversions, Worth it?
G. David Felt replied to G. David Felt's topic in Electric Vehicles and Alternative Fuels
In researching this for my suburban, I found that the Electric motor I show above AMR 250-90D takes only 1/3 the space under the hood compared to the existing motor and connects to the current transmission. I then loose my exhaust system and fuel tank. So space on both sides of the drive line is where you can have battery packs as well as behind the rear differential as they can have battery cells there also. You have a wiring harness that connects to the existing harness in the dash so you do not loose anything, your gas gauge becomes the battery charge indicator and if you want you can change it out to be very accurate with a new digital unit. With Cheaper insurance on older auto's and styles that I like, there is valid reasons to convert. -
Would Porsche be better off on its own?
G. David Felt replied to JulianWilliams's topic in Volkswagen
I suspect Porsche helps support VW products since they do have one of the highest profits per auto. -
Makes one wonder if GM with the Chevy BOLT will do better by also pushing a charging network.
-
I believe the company is here for the long haul and has respectable products. Stock price is currently over valued in relation to product depth. Like Drew states, eventually it will get to the proper price to performance ratio.
-
They should pull it in as soon as possible as coworkers who had older versions are not thrilled with the new version. They will loose sales and market share.

Cadillac News: What Cadillac Has In Store For The Next Few Years
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Cadillac
Yet if they are really spending this amount of money most of it is going to their over priced Union labor and excessive time off as the quality of their auto's leave much to be questioned. Plus if they are truly spending all this cash, then why does an S class MB loose half it's value to be on par with a Lincoln in only a couple years and yet cost ten's of thousands to fix. Clearly they are not spending wisely, just spending.- 30 replies

Nope, They have way too many strings attached. Keep my money in the Good O'L USA.
-
So MB S-Class is now equal to Lincoln since they both have about the same heavy depreciation.
