2023 Cadillac Lyriq
Cadillac did an actual reveal of the new EV Lyriq crossover this week. The more I see, the more I like. What I'm really surprised by the most was the listed starting price of under $60K.
Things I like: The 33" display similar to the new Escalade SuperCruise 300+ Mile Range All the funky lighting It looks like a traditional car on the inside. Things I don't like: It's a crossover. it could replace our Suburban though. First orders taken in 09/21 and will ship as a 2023 in 1H22. Quote:

I told some of my friends that Cadillac’s design cues would be the easiest to translate to EV amongst the quasi-luxury vehicles.
This one looks good. My only issue is that ressembles too much Focus Mk2 (european) on the side profile. Let’s see how the market will react, this the best one so far. Also, I liked the solution to keep the airflow attached on the back section. Let me try to find a picture of that. |

Please don't say they actually made the grill light up... Not only is that tacky, but I hate to think how it looks when one of the light elements is damaged...

I didn’t see that before. It wasn’t needed, the lights that came from CT6 referesh would be good enough. You know it is a Cadillac and it is still beautiful.

As far as I know, it will do exactly what's in the videos, except I suspect you can turn it off. That's my hope anyway, although I sort of like it.

The interesting part is the base price on this is less than, say a used 2017 CTS-V, which are going for between $65K and $75K right now. Lowest I've seen in a month is a 2016 with 87K miles for $57K.

I saw similar when I was looking between the Camaro and Brz, the one from Chevy rose in price to a point that did not make sense to me. CT6 platinum is one of the nicest I drove on this class (4.2 TT). |

If one can't set the lighting to sync with the techno playing I'm not interested.

"Lyriq is in essence, the embodiment of harmony, right down to the patterning on the tread of the tire, like a metronome ticking, as art on a canvas, precise, confident, this is the essence we will explore" I mean I know the speaker is a designer, but geez, how many times do you have to say that before you can do it with a straight face. And that is one of the more tame ones. I will say though, I like the Cadillac signature on the tires. Too bad you'll lose that eventually.
