Aww. I really wanted you to, needed you to think I'm impressive. You referred to my cars as an unimpressive collection lol. Where did I refer to my cars as a collection? Oh that's right, you did. I really think you have a crush on me. I'm flattered. GM execs you find impressive, and I'm...

You keep talking about MY cars. Do you have a crush on me?

Yep. I've only worked on Cadillacs during my time at GM, that being the Escalade and as part of branded advanced, stuff years in the future. I have years of experience designing cars. And before that years of experience in production, design and marketing of consumer products. I will put my...

You only partially read. My brother in law is not MY family. You said he has the brains in MY family. Ignoring that insult. It's a trivial joke but didn't make sense logically as we share no bloodline. He's a tinfoil hatter as he barely got a college degree and spent his life as a raging...

You don't know anything about me. My cars do just fine. Every one(aside from the wife's appliance) gets lots of love at every event they go to. I'm sorry if they aren't new cars that anyone can easily buy and instead built to my taste(though the BW is more stock than normal for me). The more...

He's reading my nieces and nephews Bible stories every night!

Not my family lol. I hope you're cool with Christian Radio, prayer at dinner, church twice a week, Bible verses hung on the walls. He's a lot of fun!

I should introduce you to my brother in law.

I promise you, it wouldn't have been free. If you think it would have cost the SAME as the LF4, I can't help you there hehe. I've had energy meetings called over CENTS in a program when budget is running out. I've had time & a half pulled on programs.

Al was moved to Hummer because not only was it EV, but the Hummer was a very high performance vehicle. It was a very special program and done far faster than the typical gestation. Your EV/Climate Change Scam is a thing I don't touch. It spirals into politics, another thing I'm not getting...

Correct, still has to have SOME testing on the newer iteration of the platform. But the fact is the LTx would have cost MORE as it was never in the ATS. More is more. Maybe you'd have the V8 but have to give up validation testing on the 6mt. I for one would never consider a V8 auto. I only...

Nope. Not how it works. Disprove the EV BS...GM has made a 27billion plus investment in Ultium. You think it's a conspiracy that I'm making up? That's an huge pledge to invest in capital. GM has also cut headcount in a variety of ways this year to be leaner for EV profitablity in the future...

How is this a GM thing? From '20-23 a variety of OEMs raised prices for a variety of reasons largely related to transportation costs and materials. The Ford Lightning, BMW M cars, you name it, all had price increases throughout '20-23. If GM can ask more and sell them at that price, why...

The drivetrain is only part of the development cost, you know that, read what you wrote out loud. The second an LTx goes in, it has to be validated, tested, crash tested, EPA tested etc. The 4 is largely an ATS which had the LF4 to begin with. The second you put in an engine in the 4 that...

One word... TRUCKS The joke in design, trucks pay the bills. I'm Mr Expert yet you are going around telling everyone you've been right for 20yrs. I'm just stating factual day to day insight of making cars while not revealing anything current/specific that hasn't been revealed.

Yep. While BV has been in my studio and working with my team members, I haven't worked with him directly. Only heard good things. Remember, this isn't just a GM thing, worried about the bottom line. We were making $250k Destinos(V8 Fiskers) and Lutz was telling me why it was ok to use FAKE...

I think it would be cool to make a 5BW Track Edition. It would have a warmed up LT1 with 500hp, 6mt, and some weight savings from composites that get it down to say 3900-4k lbs. It would split the price between a loaded 4 and a loaded 5BW. The thing to remember, every drivetrain iteration...

I came in late to the Destino and tried to have them make me a one off LS9/Tremec company car but I digress. An LT1 would have made the 4BW sound better and give it a marketing advantage. It wouldn't have made it a better driving car. The Lexus IS500 has a V8 and the BW is nearly 10 seconds...

Cadillac/GM is all in on electric going forward. That's not insider news that'll get me fired lol. So two scenarios... One: Car guys put together a small program budget to sneak out a final send off for ice vehicles the, BlackWings. Great PR and using LF4 and LT4 drivetrains, cost is...

You don't have believe what I am posting. I have now worked for Ford, FCA and now GM. I also had a small stint heading up design for Bob Lutz's little passion project company putting LS9 in Fisker Karmas. Everything comes down to money. Is the M5's interior nicer build quality than an...
