A fancier Chevy Volt at a much fancier price.

I’ll stay with fossil fuels, thank you.

I’ll buy an electric car when they use graphene (or similar technology) based capacitors as the battery. Until then, they are not ready for prime time.

$75k for a toaster on wheels?

I’ll keep the gas drinker.

2014 Cadillac ELR: GM's $76K bet: GM commits to plug-in vehicles, but at what price?

Well, apparently the price is $76,000.

What a strange headline - it answered its own question before it was even asked...

[Paine in the Neck]

GM - Bringing you the stupid as fast as we can!

[CrazyIvan]

I hereby officially nickname it the niCad.

[Mr. K]

That’s over twice the cost of my first house...

ELR?

Electrically Limited Range?........................

Within the next 6 months I’ll very probably be ordering a diesel that’s about half what this costs.It gets close to 50mpg highway (which is 95% of my driving) and can go 700+ miles on a tankful.I’ll walk before I ever drive an electric vehicle.

21st century Cadillac Cimarron...

[catnipman]

Another Obamamobile only affordable by the elite. Still, since the elite are not stupid as a rule, sales will probably be horrible, with only a few being sold as vanity cars to a few of the Hollywood famous who will only drive them during photo ops.

[Paradox]

it’s because the ELR is being produced in the same Detroit factory and on the same platform as the Chevy Volt.

I remember a similar venture between Chevy and Cadillac, producing an abomination known as the Cimarron..

I would look at buying a GM vehicle.....if they got rid of the UAW.

I had the displeasure of driving as a passenger in a Volt recently. While I was told by the ‘lessee’ that Consumer Reports rates the Volt’s ‘customer experience’ as #1 (unverified), let me tell you:

The Chevy Volt has the LOUDEST road noise of any small sedan/compact I’ve ever ridden in (louder than the wife’s 20-y/o Honda Civic).

Besides a few more frills, fancy wheels, leather & other fancies, I guarantee you that the ELR will include about 800lbs of noise dampening and just MAYBE the road noise will go away.

The question is: Will the ELR sell on the promise of $30k of leather & noise dampening? Heh...

Wonder how hot a fire this will be when it goes up. Wouldnt park it near my house.

[editor-surveyor]

Don’t worry!

Obama will be buying one for every GS-15 in the country, at taxpayer expense of course.

[truth_seeker]

Or you can buy the Lexus version of the Toyota Prius for about half of that price.

The total “installed volume” of Toyota’s hybrid products is impressive.

GM came to the hybrid party late.
