When I saw the headline I thought the 'Frequent Flyer Miles' was a joke but it's for real. Sheesh.

Does anyone else find it interesting that NLPC.org, which is primarily funded by oil billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife, puts out anti-EV articles like this on a
regular basis? I really wish republican politicians were less dependent on oil-money campaign donations. Then we might see some honest, unbiased conservative thought when it comes to electric cars.
After all, if electric cars caught on in a serious way, it would put the petro-dictators of the world in the poorhouse.

the excited commentator exulting over the cars blazing zero to sixty time of 9.4 seconds My humble Nissan Leaf does 0-60 in 8 seconds (and feels like less). Heck yeah I'd expect a car costing 2.5x should do it in 5, not more.

While I would rot in the gutters of hell before I would buy another GM product (used to buy nothing but GM), it looks to me like Cadillac is, at least, still one of the PREMIER makes in the world.
Is Price the issue, or are folks like me and sour on Government Motors?

Cadillac lost its brand loyalty by selling crappy engines that stretch head bolts and cause head gasket failures for too many years.
A $5000 repair.

If GM got rid of the UAW, I might look at a GM car. Until then, no deal.

For folks wanting a semi-viable electric, the story points out there’s the much higher rated Tesla for about the same price. For the yuppies who want an urban run around electric, the BMW i3 is available for $40K. There was no way a rebadged Chevy Volt listing for $75K was going to find a place in the market.

Maybe they should have called it the eCimarron.
