There's no free lunch. Got to pay up for the good stuff.

Exactly. I will have to say I think a base Cadillac LYRIQ Tech at about $60,000 is a much better deal than the top end Equinox for that very reason.

Lucid Gravity 3 row SUV. Looks like it has potential, but as with the Air not digging the style. I was all hot for the Air until I saw one on person vs photos.

So I've seen a few Airs, and it looks much better in certain colors than others. It's strange. Could also have been the lighting.

I'd totally try to convince my wife to let me buy one if I had a few extra garage spaces lol.

Probably. Every one I've seen in my area (I've seen 3 unique specimens) have been 70's Buick Goldish brown.

That's the color that looks the worst! I saw it in brown first and thought it looked bad. Then I saw it in silver while I was in CA and thought it was much better. I think brighter colors work better.

I rove by an EQE on the road yesterday....good god that thing does NOT look anywhere near close to a 100 thousand dollar car.....

Its got size...but its a blob. Looks like any cheapo mainstream economy car from various angles.
The lightbar taillights work on the rounded bubble butt, i'll give it that.

I looked at it from my rear view mirror (was driving) and it literally looks like the 8th gen civic when they brought the weird rounded off wedge shape with he 2 tier spaceship dash....It was pretty awful.

Then there was a Merc E class that drove past it and...yup the Merc looks like a Merc and much more premium looking in comparison to the awful EQE.

What was MB thinking with their EV lineup......

Cadillac drops some details on the Optiq, their "entry level" coming soon. This is basically an upscale Equinox.

Their EV nomenclature is a bit...interesting.

Celestiq, Lyriq, Optiq....
What other words could they "iq"-ify?
Rustiq? Solariq, Performiq?

Somehwat tricky to find a word that you can add "iq" to the end and not make it sound goofy lol.

Yea. That's why the king will be the Escalade IQ and not the Escaladiq.
