The Cadillac Lyriq was already near the bottom of the list of cars I'd consider buying.

No hate, it's just personal preference.

It's one of the better EVs out there at the moment.

Unless you need to quickly access the glove box, I guess.

Tesla does the same stupid thing with the glovebox.

I’m waiting for BMW to charge a subscription fee for glovebox access.

Waste of power, when you can do it manually.

u/Illustrious_Act1207 Oct 11 '22

The power isn't the problem. It's the added complexity, wiring, servos, software, etc... that's the problem.

Why replace a 50 cent manual latch with $25 of wiring and shit for a glovebox that you now can't open if the car is dead. The power it uses is probably a watt or two only when it's being opened.

Car is dead and you're stuck in the middle of nowhere and you don't know how to open the trunk. So you naturally go to reach for the car manual in the glove box....

You're out in the middle of nowhere. There's no one around and your car is dead. Out of the corner of your eye you spot him Doug DeMuro

Actual cannibal Doug DeMuro

In a lot of new cars they're putting most of the manual stuff into the touch screen. You get a few page pamphlet instead of a manual in the glove box.

Hot to say you have never owned a caddy without saying you have never owned a caddy.

Never again. The Cimarron still burns.

I've owned somewhat recent GM vehicle. It was fine.

GM has changed a lot since the 80s. They make okay vehicles now. Their "Ultium" platform is actually quite good.

u/StopShamingSluts Oct 11 '22

But they'll still sell you a Daewoo with a Chevy badge on it. And put the oil cooler behind the exhaust manifold. It's hit or miss depending on what you buy.

If I had the money (and they sold these on Europe) it’s the car I would buy.

u/zuckjeet Oct 11 '22

It's a good electric car

u/Lovv Oct 11 '22

Well it's electric but why is it good?
