I live vicariously through you

Just bought a used 2018 Toyota Camry XSE in pearl white with a black panoramic glass roof and RED leather seats. Never would've even considered the car if it had the same ol' boring black or dark grey interior, but the red seats really pop and are an absolute eye-catcher.

Praise for EV's and SUV's, hit the supper club before the show??

Actually someone plied me with shrimp and gin.

No wait, that's the folks Jack mocks lol.

I still want new V6 or V8 Electras and de Villes.

And as long as I'm dreaming, I want Oldsmobile and Pontiac back too.

There are definitely nice cars out there. But I'll never buy another new car because I don't want a car that can be turned off remotely. Hacked remotely. Or which gathers data on me either to be sold, or for the government.

Alas, that "American made Buick" is really a Chinese-assembled abomination.

Tom Klockau's avatar

Not the Enclave. All the others though, are Korean or Chinese made.

flightwriter's avatar

Correct, but as you initially called it an Envision...

Tom Klockau's avatar

Yeah they have too many models that start with E lol.

Neat .

I've not been to a car show in coming on 30 years .

One glance at the Caddy's dashboard creates a hard NO .

Glad to see there are still Sedans on offer .

That’s one of the better ones, and I detest screens in cars.

-Nate's avatar

Ew .

Lucky me, live in the land of minimal rust, with some effort and a little luck I may never have to suffer having a TV set in my vehicle .

Enough with the white cars already.

Tom Klockau's avatar

Then order a red one. I told the show planners to do different colors but for some reason they COMPLETELY ignored me.

I don't mind white as long as there's a bold interior color like red blue or orange.

I thought the same thing. The first pic looks like the appliance department at Home Depot.

I just watched a video on Turkmenistan, which is a North Korean style dictatorship east of Iran, and all the cars in the capital city have to be white. It’s so that they don’t clash with all of the white marble buildings the dictator built to honor himself.

I just remembered I saw the new Prelude on HWY 1 a few months ago....because it was forgettable. It looks kinda so-so in person. The Charger is growing on me and looking better everytime I see it.

Ataraxis's avatar

Prelude is meh. Especially for the price.

Charger is nice, but the proportions are off. Unlike the previous Challenger and Charger.

I COME IN PEACE's avatar

Fo sho. But not enough for me to hate it. Whenever it comes with a Hemi maybe it'll get smoothed out.

Ataraxis's avatar

I agree. I’ll give them credit for making a big coupe and it will be even better with the Hemi.

Regarding the design, Adrian Clarke had a great review at the Autopian.

LyriqalGenius's avatar

I love my Lyriq. Mine is Emerald Green with the white interior. It's one of the few EVs that has a personality...it is uniquely Cadillac in styling, interior design, and ride.

I wonder when Cadillac will announce their retreat from going all EV.

Ataraxis's avatar

I think the retreat will happen only when the EV supplier ecosystem becomes too expensive to support with low EV sales. I only see Tesla surviving in the US.

This is the car show that is really just all the local dealer lots trucked to the convention center? They do this annually in Cincinnati and I admit I can’t be bothered to make the 30 minute drive and pay to park.

Tom Klockau's avatar

This is the Quad Cities. I parked for free, and 30 yards from the door.

Ataraxis's avatar

They’re all nice until you look at the price.
