I would have to agree with you on your longing for the CTS. It was a fantastic sports sedan. Although I personally didnt like the interior of it, I certainly loved the exterior styling. What triggered your regret? I miss my Alero and I miss my 2005 Impala SS. But I do not regret replacing them. I also miss not being in a GM car of some sorts. But since GM not offering a sedan, I dont regret not owning a GM. Although I do wish Buick had the last generation Regal available because I definitely would have bought that last year instead of the Accord. Or the Impala for that matter.

Donald Trump's America is going to be a bizarre one for EVs. Most of the real Trumpsters that have been with him all this time are hooked on oil and would never get off of it. He wants to drill for oil to give his real base what they are asking for. Yet...he has as a BFF Elon Musk... Why has Tesla's stocks risen is beyond me. But that would be for another discussion for another thread another day. The Lyriq is quite the popular EV in my neck of the woods. I see more Lyriqs than I do Model Ys. (Same msrp in CDN dollars). Many KONA and Ioniq 5s to the point those two equal the Tesla Model 3. The Model 3 is super popular here. And the Chevrolet Equinox EV which has been on sale very recently is probably going to surpass the Model 3 in my area very soon. I see those quite regularly too. Moreso the Equinox now as compared to the Model 3 when it was just a couple of months new on sale. The Bolts are coming soon. But...lemme repeat, for the USA, in Donald Trump's America, I aint so sure that the EV will be a popular guy. I have a feeling it will be villified. The timing for GM... just as they get their EVs rolling, America voted for a very different reality. Maybe killing off the XT4 is too premature. Maybe FoMoCo is really dialing down EV launches was a ery very smart move. But what is Elon Musk to do? His BFF and the political party he is jumping for joy so much aint gonna be too kind to his automoble empire. And his EVs will probably stall in sales all over the world too. But let me steer back the converation to the Vistiq and Cadillac EVs in general. I must agree with @smk4565 that Cadillac has finally got a winning formula with these EVs. People are resonating with them. Although I dont like the overall exteror styling of the Vistiq, too upright and especially too uptight with a weird look that starts from the C pillar to the back end styling. But the interior is bang on!!! The Optiq looks like a great little compact EV. Nicer than anyting from Hyundai or Tesla in that market and price range. Its too damned bad that America is such a confused place right about now and that does not bode well for Cadillac's EV renaissance.

Hence why we should and must celebrate Remembrance Day for British Commonwealth countries and Veterans Day for Americans. Lest We Forget. The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

Ive seen these pictures somewhere. Ive seen it being played out before and I am not talking about his re-election either. Something familiar with all of it. Oh yeah!!! So this is how liberty does...with THUNDEROUS applause

Colt 45 as in President 45 P47 as in President 47 (Look at the cartoon. Its as if it was meant to be)

I say, let it get worse. The people have spoken and this is what the MAJORITY voted for. He even got the popular vote. Therefore the people of America have spoken. This is what they want. This is what they feel comfortable with. But I dont want to hear ANY whining from ANYBODY about what possibly may happen with him Him in power. Fool me once, shame on you! Fool me twice, shame on me? Technically this is how that saying goes. But you never know. Maybe it really IS the lefty libtards that are the problem. Hopefully it IS the lefty libtards that are the problem and the Messiah Trump will BE the solution to ALL of our problems. I will be the first one to apologize if He actually does fix America's and Canada's problems. And unite ALL of the world and the world gets to sing Kumbaya ALL in unison. Hopefully He is the next coming of Christ. Keeping my fingers crossed but I aint holding my breath if you know what I mean.

Not just iPhones... He tariffed Canadian wood the first time around as Pres and the prices of wood skyrocketed so American home builders bought American wood which was and is more expensive than Canadian wood. I guess that is good for American wood producers. But for the fact that house prices also skyrocketed. And considering that Canada and US have a more or less good trading thing going on...so not that good. Not for the US and not good for Canada. But Donald thinks otherwise. And all the folk that voted for him this time around think that the economy will get better? I hope so for their sake. But Elon and Jeff B's billions rose quite a bit upon the announcement of his re-election. I wonder if those people that voted for him, I wonder if their wealth also rose instantly? You poor bastards... You have no idea what is coming to you... (those that voted for him. With the excemption of the rich of course) Donnie Rides Again

RIP Quincy Jones

Why did I think she was the head coach??? New club, and they dont not get much exposure or talk up here in Montreal. The poor bastards (media and fans) here are crying for the season the Habs are having and dont really know how to deal with it. LOL

I like the Browns. There arent many NFL clubs that I despise. I like watching NFL football in general no matter who plays. I mentioned I didnt like the Seahawks. Nothing attracts me to watching them play. Ditto for some other NFL clubs such as maybe the Houston texans or the Carolina Panthers. Jacksonville Jaguars and the Colts and possible the Titans. But I dont despise them but if Im not in the mood in watching those teams play, I simply dont watch. Ill watch some other game instead. Its baseball teams baseball clubs that I HATE. I HATE the Yankees and the Red Sox and the Braves and those shytty phoquing Blue Jays and every single club that is NOT the Montreal Expos. I kinda like the Cubs and dont dislike the Cardinals as much as I hate the other baseball clubs. With that being said, the historical baseball clubs like the Yankees and the Red Sox (Braves) and the White Sox and the Dodgers and Giants when they where in NY, well I respect those team's history. I love baseball. I respect those teams. I just HATE them.

I never liked the Seahawks. But...I have taken a like to your NHL club the Kraken. Also, I am super elated of the new Utah hockey club. Did you know that they have a woman as their head coach. First female in NHL history. Pretty awesome is what I say. And yeah, I know that song. Its a 4 or 5 year old cover and um...very appropriate 4-5 years ago, to today this 6th of November 2024, just as it was when Simon and Garfunkle first sang it in the mid 1960s. The internet has made us all phoqued up I think.

For sure. I was more in tune with how Jerry views things. And he just gave away 2 drafts (late drafts, but still...) for a so so WR maybe screwing the Cowboy's future even further on TOP of having to deal with the salary cap hit next year upon Dak's new (very high but not merited) salary. Is he the highest paid QB in the league? Like how does that happen? I know there is room to move within the cap, but like you said, the Cowboys are SEVERAL pieces away from the playoffs let alone winning it all. All the while, the Chiefs got a BETTER player as opposed to what the Cowboys got trading away LESS to acquire. And...they are the current champs with a QB making LESS money... Back to back champs I shall add. So... Id like to add that I listen to sports talk radio, and sometimes I get feeds from other parts of both of our countries and there are some radio hosts (not from Montreal, but maybe from Dallas/Fort Worth or some clowns from ESPN radio or Canada's own TSN, anyway, they try to dissect the Cowboy's problems for this year and they often call McCarty a lame duck... In the past they laid blame on Jerry, but not this year. Yet I feels very strongly more than ANY other year that it is in FACT Jerry's fault yet again this year for not fielding a contender. And therefore the post above with the 18 wheelers.

Before the start of the NFL season, the Dallas Cowboys be like: We are going to do what they say cant be done. We've got a long way to go, and a short time to get there. Awaiting for a certain someone to sign. Then he signs. Tremendous signage I might add and then the Cowboys be like And then for a while, a very SHORT while, they be like But for the last couple of weeks and today's loss...in more ways than one

The RoadandTrack link there is all full of hooie and fooie From the 1st paragragh: And this article was published on Oct 30. This was news in September with speculation, so there was no need to misinform that VAG is a cash cow. VAG was a cash cow... VAG might return in being a cash cow, but VAG when SCOUT released its vaporware products is NOT a cash cow. Besides SCOUT being vaporware, Im not so sure that SCOUT will EVER become a thing just BECAUSE VAG is lacking cash... https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/volkswagen-plans-major-layoffs-shut-least-three-german-plants-works-council-head-2024-10-28/#:~:text=WOLFSBURG%2C Germany%2C Oct 28 (,council head said on Monday. https://www.euronews.com/business/2024/10/28/volkswagen-set-to-close-three-german-plants-and-cut-thousands-of-jobs https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/02/investing/volkswagen-factory-closure-germany/index.html
