If anyone from Cadillac is listening, I'll throw this out there: I don't really want or care about Carbon Fiber, I just didn't want a suede seatback that will be kicked by rear seat passengers. Replace the CF shell with regular leather and I'm happy, even if you don't refund any cost of the...

Per Rob's registry, there have been 5 dealer stock BW5s added. Even assuming he's got 100% of the data (which I believe he's relying on owners for), that's still 5 dealer orders that have already been fulfilled. It looks like he's tracking sales, so any additional dealer inventory sitting on...

We have passed a milestone... The first accepted order of the tracked orders that are so new the numbers wrapped back around to the front! Perhaps it's an artificial milestone, but I can't help but look at that "BC" order code sitting at 3000 and the 71 new BWs listed on Autotrader at the...

I now seriously need to see Randy hot lap that Escalade.

Honestly, as long as it has the proper number of pedals and cylinders and CarPlay, I don't actually care about the rest of it.

Becomes a dealer installed option? :chuckle

Anyone know what the VINs were for the final 250 in each group? (4, 5, AT, MT) Also, do manufacturers always run them continuously, and do they ever skip numbers? Like 13666 or something- I have been in a couple older buildings 'without' a 13th floor and found that amusing.

It's not 'free-market' anything. The dealer network is a gross misuse of local laws to force a middleman into the process. You know the difference between auto dealers and car flippers? The ability to offer financing.

Sadly it does not. What it means is that valuable production time has been spent providing cars to @$$holes who have no real interest in the car and are willing to destroy any industry if they think they can siphon off a little cash for themselves. Some of us will not get the cars we ordered...

:boogie Things with no personality: Tesla BMW M5 Meta(stasis) CEO Robozuckerburg (OK, I added the last one- but if the shoe is designed to match the required exterior dimensions... ;) ) Also, "Hey, that blue thing has a manual!"

Shirts are great, but let's be honest. If you don't have a velour track suit with your brand's logo stitched all over it, are you even really competing?

So... You hate cars and want the best of them to be as limited and unattainable as possible so the industry dies that much sooner? Cool.

It's not insignificant in the back- almost 4.5" of legroom, another couple inches of headroom, probably an extra 2" of width. Doesn't sound like much, unless your back seaters are tall or you're trying to pack 5 people in the car regularly.

So, if I've done the math right- 4.21" from the mounting face to the outer rim up front, 3.53" in the back?

Just saw some Douche of the Week post their car on Autotrader: Used 2022 Cadillac CT5 V Blackwing w/ Parking Package w/ Parking Package Asking $200K for a used automagical seems like a tall ask- especially given the complete lack of effort in even taking a decent picture of said car... But it...

I was thinking the actual BW engine- from the CT6. One car, one MY, $23M is what I remember I'm not suggesting it was all loss, because sometimes you learn something vital from the process. Take the F-117. Not actually a fighter, and not really all that useful compared to what we spent on the...

I guess I hadn't actually looked that closely before- I really thought there was more to it than whatever the manufacturer equivalent of a 'pulley and a tune' is ;) So, just the BW as a 1-off R&D exercise? At least in recent years.

That makes two engines that GM has spent serious R&D money on and dumped with no recoup recently- these are crazy times...

As long as you don't have to turn it off every time, it'll just stay off- probably one of several 'features' I'll be paying for whether I want to or not... They say my current car will park itself, and I assume that's true. These safety features cause negative habit pattern training. In my SS...
