Not to go too political, but I read an article that said if you buy a car with parts and piece from CAN or MX, the prices will go up around $2000 average. If it's built entirely in CAN or MX, figure about $8000 average. Experts think this could crush the car business from sales to manufacturing...

Not for nothing, but I read an article last week about the 6.2L in GM trucks/suvs. Tech at a dealer said they have 4 waiting for engines, and their latest customer was something like 2800th in line for an engine. They are on national backorder. They are making them as fast as they can. Many...

@CDNBW ...Keep an eye on this. April is normally late in the production year (but GM being GM, who knows). Much longer and you could slip into 2026 MY causing even later delivery.

At least you got the colors right 🙄

IIRC, at first the center belt was black. At some point, perhaps MY 2023, when that option was selected, it was changed to all belts are red. Tan belts are available only with tan seats and IIRC always had the center as tan. Maybe that's why red was changed.

Finally got mine from Amazon this past Saturday. Big, heavy book with tons of photos, lots of info. Can't wait to start reading it. Side note, the author owns a second gen CTS-V

Here's what's weird. 2025's have RPO MCR as above and it lists RPO UV2 HD surround vision, but it doesn't list RPO XVR Surround Vision Recorder, as it does for prior years. So my guess is, they have a SD slot that works with the radio to play songs? HD surround vision is for the cameras for...

True, but dash cams look forward. The Surround Recorder did 360* so it would cover you for rear ends or side impacts, plus if you approached the car while parked.

@beamon .... I was going to mention that too, but isn't that ALL 2025 BW's? There's another thread about that

Seems like you give up a lot with this great super cruise feature. You lose blind side monitoring which is ridiculous. So a brand new $100K 2025 car doesn't have it, but a $30K Kia does? And almost every car sold today. Sad. You also lose the "performance" steering wheel. You still get a V Mode...

While my comment was based in sarcasm, thanks for your explanation, which is over my pay grade. Point is, you know it's most likely money verses technology.

This is ridiculous. Decontenting has been a thing for years, but really? What are they saving, 12 bucks a car? A nice feature to have, especially for dealer visits or valet parking....or heaven forbid, an accident.

With PDR: Without PDR: Surround vision: Open trunk, look at the right side by the fender, just ahead of the taillight, above the storage bin:

Don't forget the "special editions", especially in the 4BW. Those were different VINs all together. Not sure about the 20 hand built 5BW's or the 120th anniversary editions.

@MatthewAMEL ...that's about what he quoted me when I bought mine last year. Prices go up as time AND miles go by, every multiple of 12K miles the price goes up. Not to mention GM, and others, raise the prices at least once or twice a year, usually around April or October. If you're buying a...

@ROMIL ...Great picture! Congrats. Let the tires warm up. Until there's some heat, they're pretty slippery. I try to behave until the tire pressure gauges reads "normal"

Several years before I retired, we got a bunch of new Freightliners with auto braking. Some of the sensors were not aimed correctly and would go off randomly. That was always fun at speed with 80,000 pounds. It really was a safety issue. That's why I just have the warning light on the dash and...

I have mine set to the light only. It has gone off on me a few times that had the brakes been applied, it would have caused an accident. Ex: once going thru a construction zone, the sun would hit the reflective stripe on the barricades and the warning would go off. After a slight bend in the...

@flipray ....That's true too, but at one point, they were not selling to out of state buyers. Dustin and I had numerous phone conversations.

@flipray ...Not to argue, but I ordered my BW in Aug 2021 for 22 MY with CF1, CF2 and CF seats from a higher volume dealer. Number 2 or 3 on the list. Never got my allocation due to constraints. Order sat at 1100 until cancelled at end of model year. Side note: I was pretty bull headed. Should...
