To be honest, we haven't even seen that many good test drive reviews of the new Cadillac ELR. Despite being the most revolutionary car GM has built in years, the electric vehicle remains a reclusive and little-know coupe. This next walkaround video will change all that, with 25 minutes of viewing time giving a real-world impression.
Saabkyle04's video answers a lot of question as to why the ELR costs twice as much as the car it's based on and what makes it tick. Remember, the a the Cadillac EV starts is priced from $75,000 to $82,100, while the Chevy Volt is just $34,185.
So what's new about it? Well, pretty much everything you touch. Want an interior with both carbon fiber and wood trim? That's possible. A button to open the door from inside? That too, plus a special theme song when you put the ignition on, just like when you start your computer.
Cosmetically, there's eye candy every where you look: flush upper fascia grille panels, jeweled taillights that look like 60s Cadillac fins, LEd headlights, 20-inch polished wheels and so much more. Technology is also available in spades: Bosse active noise cancelation, CUE infotainment system and a second, third and fourth set of electronic eyes in the back of the head to keep you safe.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
