“You have to integrate the whole car. We feel really good about that,” said Reuss, who noted GM will soon introduce a plug-in electric vehicle that can run on pure electric power that is based on the Cadillac CT6 and a Buick extended range electric vehicle similar to the Chevrolet Volt.

Note that he says pure electric power and implies it's not like a Volt.

The way it's worded could be taken 2 ways, but this interview is post CT6 PHEV release.

And not just any cities in Arkansas, just the ones that don't exist...Phoenix Arkansas and Tucson Arkansas! How "Phoenix Arkansas" made it way through and why it still hasn't been corrected is beyond me...
Phoenix Township, AR

There is a Phoenix in Arkansas, but the availability list should have said Arizona in the left column.

So sorry LL, the closest dealership with plugins will be in the Gainesville/Atlanta Georgia area.

The name does include Township, so it's debatable...There really is a "Miami" Oklahoma, spelt the same yet is pronounced "'My-am-ah" for whatever reason...

For a CT6 plugin, what doesn't exist is Arkansas. I'm pretty dubious on what inventory the approved dealers will carry in most places. Our local dealer rarely had more than 3 or 4 ELRs on the lot once they were available here, and they sat there a while. I'd hazard a guess that a 2016 ELR never saw any lot time.
We decided to pick the 3.0 Twin Turbo model instead. Huge trunk, good highway mileage, super comfy reclining seats in the back, tons of more features.

Perhaps in the future they will get it right. But the ICE version has a better powertrain, is more useful, and more comfy.

Do you buy one of everything? How many cars do you have?

Congrats. Send some pics. I would love to see the trunk with as many carry-on bags as you can fit into the CT6. I'm not ready to start shopping for the next car quite yet, but I just put 5 figures against my mortgage over the weekend, pulling the 6 digit balance down to 5. The finish line is in sight, I'm pushing hard to polish this off, then it will car buying time. Nowmif only some certain stocks pop so I can knock this out sooner rather than later...

This is for wifey. She likes Cadillacs, and she sold her 2009 CTS-V. The new CTS-V does not have all the modern safety features and comfort features, and they get $100k for them now. The CT6 has better visibility, and 4 wheel steering to make parking a breeze. And the CT6 is not exactly slow either. While no CTS-V, it should run [email protected] which is good performance at highway speeds. The 3.0L V6 in the Caddy makes more power than the 3.0L AMG Mercedes engine. 135hp/L

But to be honest, if they weren't discounting it $17k, we would not have looked twice at it. GM is having a fire sale on CT6's.
So did you get the Panaray sound system?

Yes. We have everything but the ground effects and summer tire/pads package.
The solution for the CT6 plug dream would be using the BOLT battery...nice EV range and plenty back storage. For the price they are asking is not so unreasonable.

We have had a couple in Warner Robins, GA. I originally drove a 2017 before buying the 2018 CT6 Plug-In.

I'm pretty shocked at the CT6 (non-plugin) discounts. $50K for a $64K car isn't bad

Picked up a 2017 CT6 PHEV CPO for $45,500 with just under 14k miles. Sweet car!

Congrats, the Deep Amethyst is the color my wife wanted. You're going to have to send pics of carry-on luggage in the trunk as I'm curious whether it can handle 4 of them, either horizontally or vertically.

Do you still have your ELR? I'm about 3 years away from being able to buy toys like this.... unless the economy goes gangbusters again and doubles the nest egg sooner than usual.

Traded it. It re-sold within 5 days. They only asked $25k, so, I guess they wanted it gone.

Dang, I would have liked to get an ELR for $25k. Alas, I'm still not in a position for a new car (self inflicted budget tightening - I will never borrow another penny the rest of my life).

guess that last couple of days haven't been good for you,,,maybe a yugo is in your future.maybe sell a kidney and buy in at the new lows.

My immediate future is a Cadillac CTS, a Chevy Suburban, and a Chevy Volt which are all better than a Yugo.

Selling a kidney to buy stock? Um, no. That's just plain crazy.

The last few days won't make a difference unless one decides to sell. Buy low, sell high - not the other way around. Or better yet, always buy then hold forever (or until you need the money). People who panic and sell now are idiots.

What's really amazing is how the news media is treating this. If it wasn't for the hurricane, the stock drops would have been the top news topic of the day. Yet, for the 9+ years of steady increases, you didn't see the media make a big deal out of it. They only follow the rule "if it bleeds, it leads" to gain viewership - one of the reasons I don't own an HDTV nor subscribe to any cable or satellite service.

Yup! I cut the cable 7 years ago. Same old same old. I'm doing quite well without all that angst spewing every evening.

On a lighter note, how are the beans doing? Harvested yet? Must be soothing seeing that vista.:)

I forgot to update my location. It’s corn this year. I never heard from the farmer how the crops were, but we are in God’s country. The topsoil is black and the rain was good, so I’m guessing the crops were just fine.
