    Cadillac is entering the EV space with a BANG. The new LYRIQ has almost superhero-like stylings, a comfortable drive, and a surprisingly accessible price. Will Alex be impressed or is this car too big and heavy to be a sensible daily-driver?

    As you perhaps review more larger and heavier electric vehicles, it would be good to give attention to energy efficiency. It seems that everyone only cares about range, and considers an electric vehicle to be environmentally friendly by its electric merit alone. That's gotta change at some point.

      It's because the "best" ev's right now don't even come close to the range of petrol or diesel cars. Which for city people isn't an issue but for people that travel alot or like me have to somtimes drive 400 - 800 km a day, EV's are not an option. range is a killer for all EV's
      worry about energy efficiency when EV's can do petrol/diesel ranges and the energy doesn't get created with coal power plants

      That's only really a concern if you live somewhere that doesn't use lots of renewable energy. In the PNW we mostly use hydropower, so the energy efficiency of a car is not a huge concern.

I remember some car video (I think on LTT main channel) where Alex was really positive about the car, but then Jake came in with his opinion and gave a different perspective on it and didn't rate everything so positively.

Surely the right way to go is phasing IN full phone integration? Almost everyone has a decent smartphone that can run Android Auto, and if for some reason they don't, add in an optional extra for a tablet or basic android device that can just permanently sit plugged in to handle features like Maps and Spotify etc.

    THANK YOU for measuring the in-car audio system! Savagegeese used to do it but then they stopped. If you're open to constructive criticism though, I'd have two requests. The first one is to not smooth the FR graph so much, 1/3 is way too much. The other is to have a waterfall plot, determining the fidelity of an audio system by looking at graphs is much easier when you can also see the time domain. Great review though, I really enjoyed it!

It was already towed back three times with drive motor issues, radio and dash electronic issues etc. GM had us replace the drive motor and was towed back three days later.

    The tester found the glove box opening via touch screen fairly annoying, yet they opened it in a second or two. And the point of the big bar on the steering wheel is that you see it (in the sense it's so large and takes up a relatively large amount of space ) and cannot miss it.
    That's a feature, not a problem.
    And as far as how many Lyrics have been sold, you can't have it both ways. GM sweats the details, which means a slower rollout, yet Tesla doesn't, so you get mediocre build quality and an 'Autopilot' which isn't.

    Good luck getting that price from a dealer. If you try to order it online (or spec it really) dealers are already asking a minimum of $4,000 USD over MSRP. A disclaimer already states: "dealer sets final price." And that's BEFORE you get to the dealer. Just imagine the lovely surprises waiting for you once you get there.

    I feel like there needs to be more kickback on the decision to phase out CarPlay and Android Auto. Fundamentally, it is ALWAYS going to be better than having separate systems in the car, unless you can provide some way of activating and controlling mobile apps directly from the car.
    As it stands, I'm yet to see an infotianment system that will actively let me reference things like my locations (such as saved places in apps or contacts), or activate spotify or other music apps without me physically having to open the phone to get it working.

    14:10 I wonder when car manufacturers are going to realise that stereo is absolutely fine. Most of the music you'll be playing won't be in surround sound anyway. I personally really like the setup in my old ford. Two full range (not sure if they are coax, never opened the door) speakers in the doors with two woofers in the front doors as well, and two full range speakers that are a little larger in the rear doors for the rear passengers. Plenty of low end, plenty of definition, you just need a better head unit because the speakers are extremely harsh in the 7-10.000khz range, so a little EQ'ing goes a long way.
