Yep, that's the lake side of the 101 that splits it from the river section at that large parking lot. Small inlet that becomes the lake just around that bend. And Depoe Bay just up the road, very beautiful as well.

Cadillac Lyriq Gives Us Our First Peek Into GM's Electric Dreams
Nice write-up as usual @William Maley, found some great pics with good detail as well. This Lyriq looks pretty sleek. I like how it's keeping the Cadillac family design cues but stretching it some. The iconic long vertical LED light piping in front that will now function as headlamps are still slick, but also very evident so you know it's a Caddy coming at you or going down the road. I'm not crazy about the greenhouse of this pre production model with the sloped back-end, definitely needs a more upright look to it and the actual production model will most likely have more of it for interior headroom and general space. It's comical to me how an uninformed individual on here gets into bringing up the POS FWD based Merc CLA trying to compare it to a CTS-V (hilarious I won't even go there) or a CT5, the CLA is a garbage economy car, ask anyone who's owned one. CLA is nowhere close to what a CT5 is as a RWD based sedan with a much better built chassis. I drove a white 2020 CT5 with the Premium Luxury trim for the day a couple of weeks ago. The CT5 with the 3.0TT is very quick with a very quiet interior and refined ride that was firm in Sport mode, but not harsh and smooth in Tour mode. The 10 spd is butter smooth with crisp shifts as well (love the GM 10 spd in every vehicle I've driven with it, they nailed it), the 3.0TT V6 with the PL trim or V-Series is where it's at. Blackwing CT4 and 5 are going to be mean machines! Can't wait.

"Airstream" with a truck?! Talk about an oxymoron. As you know sales speak volumes and GM truck sales were up in pretty solid numbers before the Covid crash and they were still down far less in Q2 than all the other full-size truck manufacturers. Q1 2020 Silverado sales up 27%. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2020/04/chevrolet-silverado-sales-numbers-figures-results-fourth-quarter-q1-2020/ Q2 2020 Chevrolet and GMC truck sales are still down less (even combined) than each Ford and Ram. https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/2020-us-pickup-truck-sales-figures-by-model/ Lordstown Motors will most likely run out of money before they even get started with sales anyway.

Right. There's always hidden fine print on those kinds of "gotta move some metal" deals. Always ask yourself, What if...?

Ford is basically giving cars and trucks away. I just saw a commercial where if you lose your job within the first year of purchase or lease from Ford Credit you can just return the vehicle to your Ford dealer. Pretty desperate move, but seeing the sales numbers it's not surprising.

Then it should be smaller. IMHO it's just poor R&D with the interior in general. Screen looks too high on the dash and like they just copied Tesla with a giant distracting screen seemingly bubble gummed to the dash.
