Hot on the heels of the broken embargo comes real live shots of Caddy’s Volt. The ELR gets a nice boost in power – 207 horsepower and 295 lb-ft versus 149 horses and 273 lb-ft for the Volt. A .5 kwh larger battery means slightly less range in EV mode, but an 82-mile boost in overall range and a longer charging time (4.5 hours with a 240V outlet, 12 hours with a standard outlet). There’s also a paddle-shift activated regenerative braking feature – we’ll have to drive that one to see if it actually works well.

- MaintenanceCosts Seems like a good way to combine the worst attributes of a roadster and a body-on-frame truck. But an LS always sounds nice.
- MRF 95 T-Bird I recently saw, in Florida no less an SSR parked in someone’s driveway next to a Cadillac XLR. All that was needed to complete the Lutz era retractable roof trifecta was a Pontiac G6 retractable. I’ve had a soft spot for these an other retro styled vehicles of the era but did Lutz really have to drop the Camaro and Firebird for the SSR halo vehicle?
- VoGhost I suspect that the people criticizing FSD drive an "ecosport".
- 28-Cars-Later Lame.
- Daniel J Might be the cheapest way to get the max power train. Toyota either has a low power low budget hybrid or Uber expensive version. Nothing in-between.

Is this one of those models with that room divider that goes clear through the back seat? I shudder to think what a divided back seat will do to America's birth rate, or nookie rate at least.
Is it a digital glitch in the photo quality, or is that one bad chrome strip match-up below the windows of the passenger door and the rear quarter panel?
