I read about HCCI in Car and Driver over a decade ago. Then I read much more recently that Mazda's SkyActiv engines are all HCCI. So will GM actually DO HCCI or simply switch to full BEV by 2025?

Looks more like a 1970 burgundy Firebird to me.

I had an extended warranty on my Lucerne that lasted three years. Several repairs (including a radiator leak) were fixed and I only had to pay a $100 deductible the three times the Lucerne needed a significant repair. About the GM charges for an extended warranty, good to know for my next GM vehicle. Thanks.

What does Suzuki have that Toyota does not have in house? Seems unnecessary to me.

Don't count on ICE dwindling and dying for at least a decade or more. Batteries need to be better and scale a lot better for ICE to no longer being king of the hill.

Sounds like the challenge should be to make a Chevy Trax EV cheaper than the ICE version. Same with Equinox and Traverse.

That small EV plane is not enough. Call me when a Boeing 747/757/767 or its Airbus equivalent no longer needs aviation fuel.

It also explains why Buick sales are basically geared towards China given that each Chinese Buick outsells the ones here by 4 to 1. Also, the Bolt, while nice at 259 miles, needs to have a range that ideally exceeds 400 miles, not just 300. One more thing, where is my Equinox BEV with a 350-mile range?

After about five years, an BEV school bus will pay for itself in diesel and motor oil and other maintenance savings. I would like to see municipal buses be replaced by BEVs too for the same reasons.

It is unsurprising that truck buyers are quite loyal. The real question is what Nissan needs to do with Infiniti. Also, how does Buick and Cadillac gain Lexus-like loyalty numbers?

GM needs to fix that STAT. Something like adaptive cruise control should actually come standard.

In our crossover-obsessed era, how many wagons such as the Volvos and this Audi actually sell these days?

Given that Ford only has the RWD Mustang and the F-series pickups, differentiating the Continental from other FWD Fords and Lincolns would have been the right thing to do. As for the electrics in 2023, that is more than enough time to see if the Continental can recover and earn a second generation at a different Ford plant.

If you want a car, get a CT6 if you can afford it.

How often is GM supposed to update its vehicles? Every single year? NOBODY Does that, not even Japan or Korea Inc. Cadillac has become a trim level. . . . . really? If true, then is a Yukon Denali better than an Escalade? What Cadillac does need is some significant distance between itself and GM corporate. Better engines and much better interiors exclusive to Cadillac come to mind. Cadillac does require a unique selling point to draw people away from Lexus and the Germans period.

Fine choice, but not everyone wants a Hemi in their next car. I prefer my car NOT standing out , screaming "look at me; give me a speeding ticket officer". Stealth with Hemi is much better.

Electrics will need to step up in terms of compactness and longevity, preferably sooner than later.
