Same way you hung the noodle, with a bolt. Put grommets in the carpet and it's even easily removable.

An easier method I like is to buy 2 plain carpet runners, burbur works best, and hang them on the wall at door height. It works better because it works for vehicles of different heights. The noodle method installed for my Toronado would do nothing to protect the doors of the Encore or CRV if they are in the garage.

Should Cadillac consider a Black-Series-like V-Series variant?
I just turned in a $61k CTS that I've had for a week. The leap over the previous generation is astounding. Cadillac is really playing in 5-Series territory now so a $100k CTS-V Black Edition doesn't seem unrealistic

25 hp is nothing for the CTS-V engine, I guess if there is a market for it, why not?

If there are buyers that are looking to lighten their wallets then Cadillac should be there to provide that service... however, I'm not seeing the performance increase from fender flares and special seats... the CTS-V already offers a $3000 seat option that is simply perfect anyway, it's just not tied to a "black edition" package.

Return of the 2-Stroke Engine
that 2-stroke/4-stroke switching idea sounds neat.... but from the sound of it, they need to work on the NHV side of things still

A lot of money... and on what? They already have new platforms, their drive trains are pretty good.... what else is there to spend that kind of coin on?

I'm not exactly sure where, aside from swapping out some body panels for something of a lighter material, they would increase the performance of the CTS-V much more. It already has the worlds best adaptive suspension, I suppose they could make a "trackier" track mode and maybe an underdrive pully on the S/C.... but neither of those would be costly upgrades.

EV Jeeps
Only the Tesla Model-S had suffered from any of the symptoms you're talking about. The Nissan Leaf hasn't and the only known fire in the Volt only happen after it was wrecked and left on its back for days as part of an experiment. The Telsa's battery is mounted where it is for ease of fast swap-outs as they get their battery swap network up and running. There is no reason a Jeep EV would have the battery in the same place.
