[@StringsandWings]

I'm not a fan of Cadillacs (recent ones anyways) but I like this a lot. And a great interview. I like the nod to the EV-1 as I worked for the company that made the battery pack, Ovonic. Jay mentions the success of the Prius. There was a huge lawsuit between Ovonic and Toyota over tech designs of the NiMH battery that was used in the development of the Prius. The court finally decided upon a Solomonesque judgement in the form of a tech sharing arrangement. Ovonic turned down the opportunity to gain Toyotas knowledge out of sheer arrogance. Guess which company is still around? Ovonic went on to become Cobasys which went on to become Bosch Battery Systems, producer of the battery pack for many ill fated cars including the Fiat 500e. Bosch closed the plant in 2019.

[@davenz000]

The EV1 was by all accounts a success for the intended lower range leased commuter car, it was almost too successful a trial and that's why it was killed off. It put back the domestic industry for 10+ years until Tesla gave them the wake up call kick un the pants they needed.

[@derangedhermit2879]

If it was ever a real contest? Someone should at least mention how Toyota enjoyed the understated advantage of damn near 100 years of wartime manufacturing experience, followed up by over half a century of growth fueled trade war experience, in its rise as a cut throat industrial giant…8)

" It drives like a Cadillac should. " If someone has complaint that it's not sporty and ridged enough ... then go look at just about every car on the market for 2022/23 ... they all ride like buck-board wagons! Look out Cadillac, you just might win me back!

I just completed training on the LYRIQ, at Monticello Raceway in NY. The drive is incredible. Compared to the other offerings in the EV market, it is a stand out.

[@Charlesb88]

I think it’s would be much better to have a truck and a Ferrari then try and combine them in one vehicle. Sure you can have a luxury truck that could also be used for carrying cargo or a luxury SUV that has more carrying room then a standard sedan. But if your the type of person who needs a truck but also wants and can afford a Ferrari then you problem can afford to have both. Most Ferrari lovers probably don’t need to own both and can rent a truck if they ever needed one for some special occasion. How many people really want and/or need a vehicle that performs like a Ferrari but also has a larger carrying capacity like a truck. Is there really much of a market for a Ferrari SUV or Ferrari Truck?

Exactly. Cadillacs used to be status symbols. They used to be the american equivalent of a Mercedes S class. The interiors on their old cars were probably the best in the world.

I get build quality issues with Tesla ramping up manufacturing and being the relatively new player. I would hope gm with their history in vehicle manufacturing don’t have a lot of teething issues.

[@Lt_Tragg]

Well, if it takes after the Volt, it should be very awesome.

With the electric vehicles quality control is a lot easier to manage. I do quality control on engine dressing. With the electric motors it cuts the parts and people down dramatically.

Two down to earth guys driving around. I like it. The last Cadillac I owned was in 1981. It was a 1964 Coupe DeVille last year of the tail fins. Passed everything but a gas station, lol. Sold the car to pay my wife's Hospital bills.

So let’s face it the only reason GM is doing EV’s is because they don't have a choice, but they’re going to have to do a lot more if they’re going to catch up to Tesla, and they know it too! Comphrende! Cheers!🥂

That power door for charging will be the first thing to break. I do appreciate that Cadillac is still trying to keep the Station Wagon segment alive.

Yes, that's what I was thinking, that power door is broken. Along with the stupid light display on the front when you walk up. Tacky. Only Black people might like that feature Lol

[@guytansbariva2295]

@@randallvandivier7388I don't think anyone is buying that car. Caddy is probably on the way out. Do you ever notice car demographics on the street every day? Virtually every Cadillac I see, old or new, is driven by a Black person. Once in a while you'll get an old White Grandpa (the older Caddy stereotype). Just like a Chrysler 300M or Nissan Maxima are usually driven by Black people. Same as if you see a Chevy truck with chrome all over it, a high chance it's driven by a Hispanic guy. Go look around and see, it's hilariously accurate

According to Elizabeth Plourde, CLS, CNMP, Ph.D. wrote the book EMF Freedom which won the prestigious Best Environmental Book of the Year Award. She says, “EMF Radiation causes oxidation damage. They never did the studies of putting a human in an electric car or a hybrid car. People are getting sick. After driving in a hybrid for a year, year and a half, people complain. Our human platelets, in just 30 minutes of being in a car like this, their platelets are being oxidized.”

[@nevilleabraham4318]

This was a very detailed, down to earth and honest review of the new Cadillac. I just had a ride in a couple different EVs at the OC Car Show and was quite impressed with them. The acceleration along with the quiet was an interesting sensation. I was able to put a particular figure on paper with the actual feel of the car. Seeing those vehicles that were around $50k to $60k and now knowing that Cadillac will have a model for $60k makes it seem as though they may have a winner. Yes, $60,000 is a lot of money but it's nice to know that Cadillac is not going to see how expensive they can make their new car. I was holding my breath wondering if the car was going to be $95k, or more. Back in the 40's through the early 70's Cadillac was always in the dinner table conversation of where potential buyers would go for their next luxury car on Saturday morning. Features, comfort and style was their bread and butter. They were great at it. If Cadillac can slot themselves in the marketplace with real luxury, quality and features at a price point that is more affordable than the German marques then they will have regained their status. I don't yet have an EV. My cars are in great shape and I generally keep cars for a long time. We'll see what the future holds, but it's nice to see a lot more competitors in the game. It doesn't hurt that Jay gave his stamp of approval for the new Lyriq.

[@iix23]

I like this guy. Feels like a no-nonsense guy. Great choice for the show. To the Cadillac people reading this (we know you are). I never thought in a hundred years that I would look or even buy one. This model changed the game for me. That price point (60k) is spot-on (if the dealerships don't mark it-up to 100K). For a guy like me who buys new and sale 1 year before the warranty is over,, this car now makes sense to purchase. Good job on this.

[@markplott4820]

too EXPENSIVE for what you get , SHORT RANGE and no PERFORMANCE. you are better off with the Standard MODEL S. I wish they still made the RWD Short range model S 60 , that was a Great car.

@@markplott4820 #1 What car electric or not can you get for 60K that comes close to this Caddy's levels. #2 I drive 40 miles a day. What do I care if the range is "Only" 380 miles? Most people drive less than 200 miles a week. #3 I have a track car. Who buys a Caddy to break the Nürburgring's record? #4 At that price point, when I resale the car after 3-4 years, the pool of buyer is higher as it's not a 60K secondhand car like the Plad will be. #5 An Audi A6 base model comes in at 90K with 187HP. #6 I don't like Teslas as they are not very comfortable and the interiors look like a modern "K" car. I respect the company for what they did and what they are doing but, it's not for me. Cadillac got this one spot on. You are not me and you don't know what my needs are ;) 😀

@@markplott4820 To each his own. The last thing I think about when buying a new car every 3-4 years, is listening to people.
