Cadillac Pondering More EV Vehicles After ELR

Cadillac Pondering More EV Vehicles After ELR

Even though its new plug-in hybrid, the Cadillac ELR, is still nearly two months from launch, the Detroit luxury maker is giving serious thought to adding more battery-based vehicles to its line-up, TheDetroitBureau.com has learned.

Other models could include an even larger and more upscale offering than the compact ELR, confided Caddy’s global sales chief Bob Ferguson, who said the technology could generate significant interest among buyers – both at home and abroad – who don’t have General Motors’ flagship brand on their radar screens.

LOL. GM's elite designers and managers are obviously embarrassed by the success of Tesla. Had the bankruptcy been left alone to have its true consequences, the rest of us wouldn't have to watch this train wreck of regret and jealously play out in the 'luxury' department at GM.

"Jealousy?" Is it jealousy when a company makes a care that competes with others in a particular market segment, Randy3023? You also are either physic or delusional because for there to be a "train wreck of regret and jealously" (I also don't understand why you're talking about teen-ager, full of angst and needless drama) the vehicle in question would have to at least have come out, which it hasn't.

Though when it does I expect it to do better than you think.

Randy, why don't you start offering some actual useful information in your posts, rather than the opinionated BS you seem to spout.

If GM had failed, chances are, in some way, your job would have been affected. It's so easy to make statements about GM's demise, but you fail to realize how many Americans and their lives that would have affected. Perhaps, you should find other things to do with your time rather than troll AutoSpies to post negativity about GM.

This country is orders of magnitude bigger and stronger than folks like you understand. Despite what the media tells you, GM's business, including its suppliers, dealers, and contractors, together comprised an infinitesimally small portion of the country's GDP. A closure of GM's business would not have been a fifty-state catastrophe and would not have crashed the nation's economy nor even dinged it to anywhere near the extent our politicians, lobbyists, unionists, and parrot media have spun it. For example, many of the suppliers' production lines and facilities would have been sold off and put to work by other enterprises, many of which employ more effective strategies.

It's a tragedy that so many people like you failed to even consider pondering this nor any of the other broader, longer-term economic context, and instead just blindly guzzled up all the bullshit about GM being "too big to fail".

It always happens this way. People like you are run over by hype and hysteria, and the rest of us can only fucking watch and shake our heads as the result of your stupidity spills over into OUR lives.

The people working at and for GM needed to find other work. Their skills were needed elsewhere. They didn't need to be be encouraged to languish in stagnant, unproductive positions at unprofitable, unhedged businesses — business now ostensibly stuck in artificial capacities, supported in perpetuity by the taxpayers.

The long term costs of the abandonment of the free enterprise are immense. They far outweigh the closure of any failed business, no matter how "big" that business may seem to the people stuck yearning for its better days.

Yeah I agree with Randy, slotting a car like the ELR at the $75,000 price range is just not really a competitive edge to say the least
