Obviously everyone has their own opinions but I think everyone can agree that Cadillac is finally moving from hearses to gorgeous cars.
@David, I didn't agree with anything you said...until the last sentence
@Ian the point of the car is efficiency. I would rather have the Prius because I prefer the styling. Although, I would prefer a B Class electric over the Prius. In the end though, I want an Audi RS7 Sportback.
Seeing the comments about what happens to the batteries I talked with a surveyor in the oilfield once and he was telling me what we'll see is battery acid getting into water supplies Of course maybe he's biased being oilfield but it makes you wonder
Now just cram a V10 somewhere between the front seat and the trunk And then take my money
Why would you want a Prius with it's puny 105 lb ft of torque, when you can have this with nearly 300? I cannot even comprehend that sort of logic.
Give me all the negative feedback you want, but I'd rather have a Toyota Prius Plug In or a Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric
Which is why electric is not the future at the moment. Cleaner production and cleaner ways to recycle should be first. Then cleaner engines.
Never mind where the batteries go when they are old. The pollution from manufacturing them alone offsets eco benifit. Mining for the materials needed is a dirty process.
So I just thought I put this out there... But what happens to the batteries in all these new hybrids/EV's when they're no longer any good... Will we find them where most batteries end up... In a landfill?
Beautiful car (and that's coming from someone who's never liked Caddys). I just don't think a higher end hybrid is going to sell in any significant numbers.
Description: All told, this combo produces 207 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Cadillac claims the ELR can travel up to 35 miles on electric power alone. Charging the battery takes about 4.5 hours using a 240V...

4.5 hours of juice to go 35 miles... That sounds waaaaay cheaper then gas..... Or not
Description: With its fastback design, signature egg crate grille and sharply angled headlights and taillamps, the ELR has an aggressive stance that's further augmented by LED-only exterior lighting (includin...

I'm not going to buy this unless its RWD. This will be a flop like the Volt it's based on...
Looks good, but I wish this had a RWD/AWD turbocharged four-cylinder engine instead. Could be pretty quick.
Description: Additional features will include several advanced safety systems such as forward collision and lane departure warning, blind spot alert and full-speed range adaptive cruise control. There's even ...

The cup holder won't effect the range of the vehicle. It's a Cadillac and they build luxury. Automatic things that are useful or not is part of the luxury motif.
So they make this amazing brand new super fuel efficient car and then make the horribly opposite statement of wasting power on some freaking cup holders!! God this company needs to look into what they're statement is with these cars.
I'm now just waiting for the final official pricing to decide if I'm going to buy a new ELR . Great job goes to Cadillac for the ELR .
I for some reason love brown on cars. Audi, BMW and Mercedes pull it off very well, and that tuned (forgot the company) brown Lamborghini Aventador was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I really do like the leather on those seats too.
Black leather seats, and piano black accent would look better IMO
Actually beige sucks except in the showroom. This color will mellow with time and get lighter in the wear areas, taking on a rich patina. Beige just gets dirty.
I bet it has as good or better legroom as the Volt. Same platform remember?
All the Cadillacs in Asian market have clear (bit smoked) tail light, and it's kind cool compare with USDM
I don't particularly like this light. It looks too red in the back. It's weird or put of color proportions or something.
Have to admit, would rather see this on the streets of Beverly Hills than a Prius. Wouldn't look as sad next to a Rolls.
Obama Administration: making cars suck since 2008
@Carlos U have no style. Plain & simple.
Fugly! Plain & simple.
Ik D.C does something with taxes and exemptions when you own a hybrid, so everyone has one there, and plus it depends what type of person you are
@Stephen I don't know what you mean.
54.5 MPG?! Geez. Need to just start importing small diesels from Europe.
@Drew. The same reason why a big family would buy a SUV for 30k instead of a 2 door coupe for 30k.
@drew you get 7500 back in some states not too bad and those cars have completely different purposes plus since Obama has made the 54.5 cafe mpg in 2025 you gotta start bringing those numbers up big time this car will help boost that number nicely
Couldn't agree more drew!
That is a fancy Volt. Not bad a looking ride.
And both those are less likely to catch fire haha.
Why, in the interest of fuel economy, would you pay several thousand dollars more for a Cadillac-branded Chevrolet Volt? You could just get a nice Ford Fusion or Mercedes-Benz C-Class and probably never overtake the fuel savings after you purchase an expensive hybrid.
