GM CEO Mary Barra was talking AI on Fox Business the other day, though she and GM vice president Scott Miller didn't say much in the way of specifics, mostly referencing things like using AI as a voice assistant or for syncing a driver's calendar to the car.

QOTD: To Turn, or Not to Turn?

Many press programs allow us keyboard warriors to wheel whatever car we're testing on some twisty two-lane road that has almost nothing in the way of passing zones. Today's drive of the new Dodge Hornet was no exception.

These roads do, however, often have turnouts.

  • IBx1 I had the displeasure of driving a CTS5 while my 1st gen CTS-V was in the shop for a brake line recall, and that was an absolute pile of garbage. Hyper sensitive brakes, stiff crashy suspension, a horrible sounding 4-cylinder, and this is what people fawn over?
  • Jkross22 The CX9 we leased and will be returning soon smelled like a dentist's office for the first 2 years. Big Dental must have paid dearly for that.
  • Tassos BP investing in enhancing people’s right to free travel sounds like a good thing. I wonder how the regressive cognitive decline crowd will interpret it though.
  • Rover Sig Market placement: One good (large) car, one good (mid-sized) SUV, plus the Escalade (because).Attention to detail. I see nice looking caddies with some ugly features (wheels, trim). I don't know about interiors because no one I know has a caddie.The world does not need another BMW. Not everybody is in sales. Cadillac could be selling cars to all of us Boomers, who remember the large Oldsmobiles, Buicks, Mercuries, etc., of yesteryear and their comfort and, yes, style of a sort.
  • Tassos Back in my day, Nissans were the choice for forward-thinking, progressive folks who appreciated quality and innovation. But now? Seems like they're just for those who can't afford better. It's a shame to see a brand with such promise become the go-to for the budget-conscious (POORS!) crowd. Makes you wonder what happened to standards and aspirations. Guess you can't expect much from a generation that thinks a Nissan is a status symbol.
