Less horsepower and more weight than a CTS 2.0t.... #winning

No, cause you just know that Elon would have to have something silly like a center split lift blade tail gate or fold up front wheels or something else ridiculous.

You always find a way to get your Mercedes plug in somehow. Benz's only pure electric is the pathetic little SMART and the B-Class only sold in California, they can't compete with a Tesla either. With 432 lb-ft of torque, the CT6-PHEV will feel plenty fast. HP is nearly irrelevant with electric cars, so I don't know why we still look for that number. Tesla's max torque is at ZERO RPM which also means ZERO HORSEPOWER, but it's that fact that make people scream when the car takes off in ludacris mode.

Interestingly, the Norfolk Southern Railroad did an experiment with a battery powered locomotive with no regenerator. Performance hasn't been very good and it is mostly just a showpiece right now. GE was working on a Hybrid Locomotive about 10 years ago, but nothing really came of it. Right now, locos just exhaust their regenerative braking out as heat. I wonder, as battery tech has improved over the last 10 years if someone will give it another go.

Now that you "mention" it @dfelt, check out what everyone can do now. I do like the new logo that @Intrepidation made for us.

The blades are simply a signature of Cadillac. Just like the angel eyes were on BMWs.... so when people put them on Camaros, they were putting "BMW headlights on a Camaro" And how Audi has it's lower "eyeliner" emo look The difference is, Cadillac's rear blades have far more heritage than either Audi or BMW. The rear blades go back to 1960 and have continued basically uninterrupted in some form or another ever since. The front blade showed up in 2008 with the CTS, but it immediately took to being Cadillac.

BMW has to sell bottom feeder X1s to survive. Cadillac doesn't... GM can sell plenty of Traxes and Encores outside of the Cadillac brand. What BMW is trying to do is be General Motors without multiple brands (Mini is niche of a niche and has been struggling big time, Saturn sold more cars in 2009 (79K) the year they were canceled than Mini sold in all of 2015 (58k)

It's a work in progress. I've tried to tidy it up a bit this evening.... so how is it now? As always, I welcome constructive feedback.
