What about Cadillac ULC. It looks great, highly functional and also has scissor doors. Please bring this on and sell it at an affordable price.

Since Cadillac has been promoting performance for many years now, I would expect it to be significantly higher performance than the Volt.

I do not expect it to have longer electric range.

One of the biggest advantages of electric drive is that higher performance does not equate to poor economy. I do not understand the requirement for a bigger generator however. The generator only has to keep up with the average power required, and this only goes up with higher speed. So maybe Cadillac is concerned that the ELR can sustain 100mph speeds after the battery is depleted?

Sounds great if you can afford one. But GM should build a Voltec series hybrid without a plug. Sure it wouldn’t be as efficient as a Volt, but it would cost significantly less, sell significantly more (helping to recover R&D costs), and still work towards normalizing electric drive vehicles.

If it is faster than BMW 330ic, then it will sell like hot cakes…
