Checked out the Toronto Auto Show today.

All the manufacturers went all in on EVs…maybe 40% of the cars was dedicated to battery EV…for ever one gas Escalade there was 2 Escalade EVs

It’s interesting, I would have thought the values would be stable or up as I thought demand would go up. Where else can you get a car with 1,000hp for so cheap? Once it is gone I am not sure what would I would get at its price point.

Doug Demuro did a review of that Caddy, Its available for sale at an astronomical price. It's also hideous to me.

i checked what a 40 roll is and google says: It is considered a dangerous, illegal, and high-speed activity on public roads.

(In other words juvenile, stupid, and reckless, and nothing to do with the video posted)

More to the point, it takes either an expensive sports car or a highly modified engine to start at 40 or 50 mph just to keep up or beat my family sedan 🤣🤣

^^^ The styling of this Caddy reminds me (somewhat) of the BMW 5-series GT some time ago....which was a sales-flop.

Its successor the 4 Series Grand Coupe and i4 have both been sales successes.

Its funny when EV owners praise their car’s 0-60, 0-100, brag on beating 90% of cars on the road from a red light, posting EVs 60-130 vidoes 👇

But when a non EV owner mentions a 40 roll now all of sudden it’s considered “In other words juvenile, stupid, and reckless”

Just a software update 😉

I have the car seat in the backseat. I’ll be in the carpool line in 1hr.
