🚗 A long live car talk rant on irrelevant brands: why the Elio Motors three-wheeler still hasn't made it to production, and why Cadillac's push to be a global luxury brand falls flat when the cars and interiors don't back it up.

🛺 Elio Motors
The promised 84 mpg three-wheeled commuter, the shifting production dates, and the hundreds of millions of dollars they said they still needed. I'd love a cheap commuter, but the math and the timeline never added up.

🏁 Cadillac vs the Germans
My old 2006 Cadillac CTS and its hard plastics, the XLR as an SL500 rival, Chip Foose's custom Cadillacs, and why sitting in a Mercedes or Audi just feels better put together. Plus CUE infotainment vs Apple CarPlay (a deal breaker for me), "a global luxury brand that happens to sell cars," Bentley's SUV business case, the Lincoln Continental and Navigator, and an Infiniti Q60 that caught my eye. Thanks to everyone who hung out in the live chat.
