    Not unlike a piggyback train, but as with all electric trucks and cars no real green savings as the battery production causes so much pollution.

    The Chinese Government doesn't appear to be bothered by this at the moment. Down the road, who knows?

    Sorry to hear that. Yes, lost, because it has three-row seating and is priced below the Escalade. Seems that they're pitching to only their base customers?

    The brown example shown in the Caddy web link would have been a far better choice to show publicly.

    I know that brown is the current trend. But as always, "trends" are determined by the marketeers. In other words, consumers don't order cars anymore. They buy what's on the lot ("I guess we'll take the brown one. It's the least drab of all the current drab colors that you have.").

    Here's the color choice from the XT5.

    They still show brown on their website, maybe it's offered based on location. For example, in New York State, I saw a new 4-door Civic in gloss olive-drab. It looked almost like a modern Army staff car. I was impressed. Never seen anything like that here in FL, or anywhere else.

    Was talking to one of my Chrysler/Fiat pals at the show this week and he said they were probably dropping it. He's a product planner for Alfa USA.

    I played with the configurator and note that 8 of the 9 colors available are extra cost and all 9 colors come with only interior color "Sahara Beige Leatherette Seating Surfaces." What a way to run off potential customers trying to create a unique DIY color combination. :(
