If you have the money and you want luxury then Cadillac is your car. Why is there a cameraman in the car if you don't use the footage?
🇺🇸
The reason why they have HVAC buttons now is your government mandated it !!
I think it’s really weird. They would try to make it look like an LS engine cover. I think they should be proud of the fact it’s electric and make it look like an electric engine cover. Just doesn’t make sense to me. I understand they’re trying to sell this product to non-educated people but in that situation they might’ve just put a hellcat in and paid Dodge for the use of it and they would’ve made more money
Hoovie desperately trying to ignore the sexual innuendo........priceless.
It's weird, she keeps putting it out there, he keeps ignoring it...
Isn't he married? lol
@@Sick666Minded He divorced, and April is his new partner. No idea if they are married or not, but not really something for us to be concerned about.
You guys haven’t noticed the rock on her finger? 💎
@@michaelmaas5544 Good catch! Well done.
Pretty sure Tesla is the real Tesla killer
This is the winning comment right here.
😂😂😂🤣
Elon Musk is the Tesla Killer .... dude has lost his mind.
Man child spawn of Satan is the Tesla killer. 😂
@@theboogeyman9813 who does Tesla sell batteries to ?? .. see, not a battery company, they make cars.
April's Garage! I like it!
Yes, dare I say Aprils garage is better than both Hoovies garage and Good morning TH-cam. 😉
Which garage are we talking about?
It will be if he's dumb enough to marry her.
Future Hoovie's Loss Garage
"It's not like a fat guy sitting on your face." April certainly has a way with analogies... 🤣
I'm definitely using that. She's funny..
She has the experience .
metaphor...not quite an analogy. (any time you see the word LIKE...its a dead giveaway)
@@edgewood99 the words "like" and "as" are actually a giveaway for a simile, not a metaphor. And while all similes are metaphors, not all metaphors are similes.
But being pedantic about throwaway funny TH-cam comments by complete strangers is something only an insufferable person takes the time to do...
@@Not_Ferrari I see what you did there. Well done 👍
The Lyriq has all one needs.
Sadly, this video needs Nelix.
Including a much higher cost than the Y LR. And awful specs.
@@grahamstefaan 60K for what you get, considering typical GM discounts on financing, their GM credit card, and other ways to get the final cost down.. 55K is probably a closer street price. Tesla has a problem as the big established players finally get into the EV game. I think the real issue is that Elon has too many projects going on at once and isn't focusing purely on cars any more.
@@grahamstefaan The Lyriq isn't comparable to the Model Y. It's a Model X competitor, as Hoovie mentions in the video.
@@plektosgamingNot far off. I bought a Sport 3 yesterday with everything except Napa and 22’s including 10k on my trade I walked out at 56k. Not a bad deal for an AWD sport 3.
Congrats April on the late 40s/early 50s Rolex Bubbleback. It looks gorgeous!
Tyler is the type of guy that stares at a picture of April when she goes to the grocery store.
I'll bet April doesn't go Hoovie does. 😂
😅 You wouldn't😊
As he should!
Like Doug Demuro, Tyler's the type of guy to pee in a public urinal with his pants around his ankles like a 5yr old.
"this ones a little used!" 😂😂😂😂
No doubt, plenty of miles left on it though
My wife is the opposite of a car person although when she saw the Lyriq in a beautiful metallic red she fell in love with it. She said it was stunning.
We have an opulent blue metallic one and it has been fabulous
We went for the Celestial Metalic and my wife wouldn't drive the Model S.
@@midnight4109 my wife hates the look of all the Tesla's. We were offered one in Tampa as a rental she opted for the Polestar 2
We just took delivery of an Emerald Lake Green Lyriq and love the color on it too
@@Chaotic_Neutral76 that green in photos is not impressive but in person it is beautiful
As a new hoopty Tesla X owner, one HUGE factor before you buy is insurance. Parts is a monopoly. Only from them, and when insurance is even available in your state, it is expensive. I would bet shopping insurance on either of these will be cheaper for equivalent coverage. I'll wait a few years and probably get a Lyriq after I sell the Te$la. (Im clearly not a fanboy lol)
How much is insurance?
Oddly enough, "Fat Guy Sitting on Your Face" was the name of my Elton John cover band back in the 90's.
Officer Greig???
Oh how I hope this is true🤣
Hopefully the name of the band was actually 'Fat guy sitting *on* your face' that would make a little more sense.......
Men crapping their cars!? I've never heard of that. Certainly have never come close to that. But one time I was going to buy a car with white seats and my gf didn't want me to because she was worried about... a monthly occurrence. Which shocked me honestly. I now have an SUV with white seats. I made the right choice and got the seats and ditched the girl.
You'll love your white seats jn a couple of years. There's a good reason most car interiors are dark grey.
We own a LYRIQ. My wife and I agree. It is the nicest car we have ever owned. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed watching.
Me too! I have a sports level 2. Celestial Metallic (purple) with black wheels. It’s absolutely gorgeous! Best car ever. I just want to drive all day long!!! 💕💕💕💕 Love my caddy!
This was a fun video not in the studio.
I have to admit, it is lots of fun, considering that I'll never be able to meet April personally, it's as close as I'll get.
Got a Lyriq as a loaner while my wife’s Cadillac was in the shop, and it’s a really nice vehicle. My wife and I both really enjoyed it.
Have you considered going electric? The Cadillac dealership even sent an electrician to my house to wire the garage for Level 2 charging at their expense. There is also a $7500 rebate on the car plus $500 if you are a veteran. You might do well to consider taking the plung.
@@midnight4109do they come with the Tesla chargers yet? It’s not a deal breaker for me but I don’t own a home yet and was considering switching to EV. It would have to be Blazer or Lyriq for me, nothing else appeals to me right now.
@G-Rated Charging with Tesla superchargers is coming this summer. Free charging at other stations or installation at your house now, your choice.
Before you partake the Koolaid; rent one & take it on a trip. Please consider winter impacts & insurance rates on a vehicle easily totaled for minor collision.
@G-Rated I didn't have a garage for awhile either and charged while I did my shopping. It's also a good idea to have access to wifi for over the air updates.
there were cars in the video didnt notice
You mean REAL cars. Lol, I can't remember anything they said about these silly ev's, probably since I know how not green they are and what a short of a lifespan they have. EV owner's moans of regret are so delicious and will never get old. 😆🤣
In the back. Mercedes SLR, mercedes SL, BMW Z8, Pontiac firebird, Mercedes 500, ferarri 599, Aston martin. You have to watch it carefully.
Tight,bro
I didn't notice either. Ill watch it again.
I only saw white
Futuristic door handles are hideous things.
Even inside,they've taken perfectly good knobs & changed them to a touch slide,I'm used to it now but just make it functional first cool second. In icey cold mornings I could see an issue w/ those fancy door handles.
@@richardmorris7063 Hi Richard, i agree with you. I prefer older cars before all the stupid tech arrived. Use a key to unlock the door, manually turn the wipers and headlights on and off when i want to. And use buttons and switches for everything.
@@stuartsmith5308 At least it doesn't have power ass wipes.
April has that amicable personality where you get the sense that everything you ask her would be yes.
April's Garage? 😳 Hoovie better careful! 😉
GM needs to offer April a job. Both her and the new EVs are over the top!
Well…
I said it over and over again … she is smart …
With comments like … „ why does it matter if you doinˋ zero to sixty in TWO or FIVE seconds..?“
She is right … 👍
"its not like a fat guy sitting on your face..." Ummmm April.....
Heh, for one episode, April and Tyler switch clothes...lol
I guess they reviewed a couple of vehicles, and then there was April.
The three blue lines in the Blazer model decal is a graphic representation of electrical plug prongs
Beauty and the Beast, I like the dynamic….come on guys, stop it, I’m talking the cars!
I can totally see that charging port working great when it's covered with ice/snow. Also, imagine what it will cost to repair it when the fender is damaged in a wreck.
That's all I thought about as well when seeing it. Like ffs do companies really feel the need to re-invent EVERYTHING? A fuel door has worked fine for a century.
Equinox EV will have a push in pop out charger port which I think is a much better solution and less likely to break
All I thought while seeing these cars are "tons of things to break" Even the f'-ing door handle was giving Hoovie problems. Why the f- would you want to convert a normal door handle to an electronic gizmo? When this car is 10 years old, these things will be worthless, as all the gizmos are failing, spare parts will be insanely expensive, and the battery will have maybe a quarter of the mileage available. Basically it won't be worth the expense to fix it up - ready to be junked at 10 years.
@@acfiv1421 that's all modern mass produced products these days. planned obsolescence is a bitch.
@@algnedpe7271 It's worse than that. A normal car, properly taken care of, can easily last you 20-30 years. At which point, you might have to rebuild the drivetrain, replace worn out seals and other plastics, and you'll be good to go for another 20-30 years. Now they are building cars that will be uneconomical to repair. Assuming no inflation, If you buy an EV for $60K today, in 10 years you (or the poor sucker you sell it to) will have to pay at least $20K for a new battery, and maybe another $10-20K to replace the mammoth infotainment screen (if they still make them) and the over-engineered door locks etc. - why would you pay almost the value of a new car to refurbish an old one (and HOPE that you solved all the problems).
LOVE love love this team car review and drive. GREAT video!
Very nice comparison and you both work well together on camera.
For all Electric Vehicles, why not put the charging port in the middle of the rear bumper area? When you pull up at a charging station every vehicle will have the same amount of room.
Yes there needs to be a standard position for all EVs
Funny how cars in the 60s and 70s did this as standard - right behind the license plate. No fancy doors, either - just a simple spring that was perfectly hidden.
Would be most likely to be hit in accidents.
That charge port door is so unnecessary. I wonder how much they could have saved by just adding a normal fuel door like cars have been doing for a century. Imagine how much it would cost to get that replaced after a 2mph fender bender? Ridiculous.
It's all about presentation. Wowing customers as sales people show off all those gimmicks to people who are easily amused and don't know any better. It's surprisingly effective
@@noobeenaut people sending a hundred thousand bucks on a car aren't worried about the cost of a fender bender, they have insurance and the cars a are always new.
April is great, I think that Tyler found the ideal complement, the ideal partner
I have noticed that when talking about EV's FAST is always the big deal after range. I don't mind driving fast, but for the most part you cannot drive them any faster than the traffic around you. Since they are so fast is it possible to trade fast for distance? That might attract a lot more buyers in the long run. And no, I do appreciate speed and handling, but there are reasonable limits too.
98% ot traffic never exceeds 0-60 in about 6 seconds, and the rest 5. 4.anything is 2000s era supercar fast and beyond that is just bragging rights for people who chase numbers.
Most of them handle like garbage because they weigh too much.
@@daniels2761 This has unfortunately been a trend since the 70s. Bigger, heavier, and more like an isolation pod on wheels. Actual handling has indeed gone down to almost nothing. I still remember my friend from years ago driving me around in his old BMW 2002 and launching it at an onramp that had a 90 degree turn leading into it - and a 100 ft length in total ( country road - just dumped you into the highway ) - and it basically rotating like a top at 40mph. :) Rev - zoom - snap through the turn and off we went. Nothing made in the last 30 years could possibly do that, because the car weighed barely over 2000lbs. :)
For a huge number of users who are commuting, with or without children in the back, 0-60 is completely irrelevant.
My current family car does 0-60 in over 10s which is perfectly fine for everyday use.
@@pierre-yvesp3769 10s is too slow for most on ramps. It is a safety issue to not be able to merge at speed.
Nice presentation. You two should look at the ionic 5 and 6 if you can arrange that.
For most people either of these are plenty fast & being cheaper gives them an edge but Feels has been doing this for a minute so there's that. Competition is what will make them all better. One thing I've noticed about EVs is they try to WOW ya w/ all the light shows & gadgets that'll probably give you problems. Ill stick w/ my V6 Cadillac,its perfect for me.
We owned 2 Model S cars, a Gen 1 and 2, and now own a Lyriq. All of these cars have their strong points. I am not in favor of air suspension or AWD which our Lyriq doesn't have, although the Model S does have a slightly better ride because of air suspension. No Tesla has a luxury interior while Cadillac has been designing those for 120 years or more and the interior of the Lyriq wins hands down. The GM Supercruise is more positive, as is the overall handling of the Lyriq. Pricewise, the upgraded Lyriq was about the same as the Gen 3 Model S, so it's maybe not as value priced as some think, considering the advantages of the Model S. My wife wouldn't drive the Tesla but loves the Lyriq which has a lower front and is easier to understand.
Awd handles better by a lot
@Channel--Ai Yes it does.
I think you should sell your Cybertruck and buy a Lyriq Hoodie, while you can still make money off your pickup!
Glad to see that you like the Lyriq even though someone can pronounce it. This is my short list vehicle. My problem with it is the charge door. I live in Minnesota and that sucker won't last when ice gets in it. It is the lap of luxury, though
Yup, I'm sold, I want a Lyriq now. Those seats got me.
I really like the front end of the Lyriq, but it seems like it would be awfully expensive to fix even a minor collision…
Warranty ... Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty
4 Years / 50,000 Miles $67,215 / Lyric Lux3 AWD
VS
8 Years / 150,000 Miles $72,000 Blue Model X
If they matched the Tesla warranty, I might have considered a Lyric but
after having to replace all of the Chevy bolt batteries....
Yeah that is my biggest concern with any domestic is the short warranties. They don't give longer ones because they know their cars will fall apart before they run out. Kias/Hyundais have their issues, but at least they stand behind their stuff. My Jeep came with a 5 year 100k warranty. I only had 50K at 5 years but it rapidly started falling apart, as I am sure was their intention.
I have to say, two of my neighbors purchased the Caddy recently, one in grey one in silver, they look pretty darn slick.
What where they reviewing? Watched it 3 times and still cant figure it out.
I remember seeing a video where Tyler trashes the new Blazer non-ev. Suddenly he loves it as an ev?
Surely the dynamics will be different, right? Makes sense he'd assess them differently.
He was trashing the styling
No, it still is basically a better version of a Tesla. But still.. not worth the money. It's missing a lot of features that by the time you try to add most of them back in with options and packages, just spend a little more for the Cadillac. Typical GM trim and package levels, same as it has been for decades. Always get the base model Cadillac or Buick versus a loaded Chevy as you get a better vehicle for only a little more or no extra money. (plus better resale value and things like included leather)
It would be really cool to see April focus on new car reviews like this
She'd catch up to Supercar Blondie pretty quick!!!
I doubt id remember the car she was showing.
We just did the test on the Blazer RS EV and loved it. We have a bunch of different tests on the Lyriq like the super cruise and many other features of the early debut editions love both vehicles but the Blazer gets my vote
It's amazing to think that the Countach and Testa Rossa with their 0-60 times in the mid-fives are now considered slow by modern standards!
The Consumer Reports review of the Chevy Blazer EV was, "It was so terrible that I couldn't wait to get out "
The launch of that car was a train wreck
That was the previous iteration.
@@mnhsty it’s still GM trash
And that’s how you know this whole vid is a paid ad.
@@brendykes1202 100%
Petition for an offiical "April's Garage" channel, plesae!
I'd like to look into her barn door.
Can you get the lyriq in riptide blue?
Tyler trying his best to keep it family friendly 😂
I bought a 2020 X performance. I have been waited for the cybertruck since 2021.
The Honda Prologue is built on the same platform. I got the VW ID4 because I don't want version 1.0 of a car. The ID4 had been out for a few years and had 2-3 iterations to improve. I like the way the Prologue looks more than the Blazer, I like Camaros but I don't think everything needs to look like a Camaro. The Cadillac does look great though, the motor compartment looks really well done! Ford should take notes.
That back wing areo has been around from the 70's. Station wagons had them to stop dust landing on the rear window.
I got a picture of my wife setting in the beautiful red Lyriq right before Christmas, it had a giant red bow on top. We both loved it but it was just too big for us same for the Blazer. We are patiently waiting for the Equinox and the Cadillac Optiq. GM may be late in the EV game compared to Tesla but they are Elon’s, I mean eons ahead in style.
Does the Cadillac have a Heatpump A/C heater system?
The model that's coming out in April seems to have better lines than anything I think that's available. . . .👀
April is a positive start to the video. Great intro.
That Blazer interior is so damn good with those red accents!
April seems pretty cool, glad ya’ll are working together 👍🏻
Great video! BTW, the 3 blue lines represent the symbol for a battery in a circuit diagram.
Beautiful S class in the background
As a Model Y Long Range owner, both of these look awesome and I agree with everything that Hoovie was pointing out. I'm in need of another vehicle and looking at all of the options out there. Sadly, what's really needed and no one has done it yet is a EV version of the Honda Odyssey.. which blow my mind. The first company to make that happen will crush that market segment. Honda hasn't even offered an Odyssey in a hybrid yet, which is disappointing. Awesome video as usual! Keep up the great work guys.
My daughter has a Sienna Hybrid and it's been great so far. I guess Honda doesn't want to invest a bunch in the minivan market as Toyota and Chrysler have so many out there already and people are leaning toward SUVs more and more. Minivans do come in handy when you need them though.
If both GM cars are simply different trims of the same platform, why is the Blazer compared to the Y and the Cadillac compared to the X. It seems like the Cadillac is probably more comparable to the Y Long Range. The Y and X are two completely different vehicles.
Cuz Hoovie math had to happen
I work at a new car dealer where we have sold used Teslas. The only thing that is nice is the acceleration. The quality of the interior materials in the Model 3 and Y models is CHEAP. Very unimpressive. If (god forbid) the day comes when I have to buy an electric vehicle, I would go with the Cadillac. I REALLY love the videos that April and Hoovie do together. April isn't hard on the eyes 👀
Audi also makes EVs that are absolute tanks and put together like you expect from a bunch of extremely anal German engineers. With the problematic engine and transmission removed, they actually become reliable vehicles. Go figure. Kind of the same with the Cadillac - removing that GM V8 is 90% of the problem solved.
As someone whose first serious car was a '68 BMW 2002, I can tell you the Y's interior is like a Rolls in comparison. Dash components cracking plastic and cardboard. 'Sall how you look at eet.
@@Digital-Dan And yet I prefer having fun in twisty roads compared to being in some isolation pod on wheels. YMMV, naturally.
That LYRIQ is fantastic - I could ALMOST switch to eVs if this was the contender.
.
Is that a engagement ring on April's hand?
Just for clarification- Audi’s will also put the gps directly in front of the driver full screen. And they’ve got the gimmicky headlight animations.
I have a CT6 sport w/supercruise and have been very much looking at the new Lyriq. I'm really close to pulling the trigger. The seats are exactly the same, and the ride is even better. The acceleration is close (3.0TT vs Dual motor version). The main thing I don't like is I prefer sedans. I admit I'm also a little hesitant for all EV.
My wife has a Yukon XL for all our SUV needs, and my winter beater is a true survivor that shouldn't exist. A Buick Rendezvous 3400 with 300k and counting.
Next time I comment I may just have a Blue Lyriq with the white/grey interior!
" It's not like a fat guy sitting on your face..." BWAAAAHAHAHA.
I drive a Cadillac lyric, for work Sometimes and I experienced complete brake failure when driving the Cadillac So I’m not sure if I’m fully sold on that car, come to find out it had to have a complete software reload.
The lyriq is the only EV I’d consider tbh. I like it bc it’s a luxury car that is EV without too much minimalism
April’s fit was the star of this episode
That Blazer pumped in sound reminds me of city buses.
I'm not a fan of the Full Glass Roof on any car
since a Hail Storm 2 years ago. $1.3K not covered by
car insurance.
I hope the Caddy (all of them)has a Glass delete option?
It sounds like your insurance company screwed you. They know by the VIN what options the car has and they know sunroofs, pano roofs and convertibles can get trashed during hail storms. Even metal roof cars can get banged up. I had a Ford Thunderbird back in the 90s that got hail damage on the hood, roof and trunk lid in a storm and they quoted $4700 back then to fix it. I cashed the check and bought another one, and kept the damaged one as a beater for work.
Nowadays, the insurance companies would just total a car with any significant damage, whether glass roof or metal. They get so much for them at the auction due to exporters, rebuilders and parts scarcity that they end up coming out ahead by totaling them instead of fixing.
Having actual gauges in front of the driver makes this instantly better than most Tesla's.
Does the infotainment system still die and brick the car in the process?
These vehicles should be easy for GMs owners to use as they are very familiar to folks who previously owned GM products. I hope that GM comes clean soon and reports what it costs to produce these vehicles. If they are doing as badly as Lucid, Rivian or Ford from a profitability perspective, it may be difficult to ramp up production which is badly needed to gain the economies of scale that are so necessary to enable profitability. Bravo to GM for getting these products to market; the more competition in the EV sector the better. Now, let’s get on with ramping up production.
April makes this channel awesome
Thank god virtually no other carmakers copied Teslas obsession with everything being controlled via a touchscreen.
Absolutely loathe it; give me physical buttons and dials every day.
If you want more speed out of the Lyriq for 1200 GM will push an update to the car giving you “Velocity Mode” which on the AWD Lyriq takes your 0-60 down to 4.3.
Nice to see you outside the studio
Yes they are both good looking vehicles! But I wouldn’t compare to the MD X seems like another type of car or SUV , I don’t understand why they have no Frunk ? Yes Tesla’s look different they don’t claim to be car like they are planned to be different and A note I saw a another TH-camr who was in a repair or service shop and the mechanic pointed out the difference between a ICE vehicle compared to a electric vehicle. They found out the tires wear differently because of regeneration and suspension is different than a ICE vehicle so if they just convert a ICE vehicle to an Electric vehicle it won’t work correctly. I was amazed at the difference.
I expect an EV to have a frunk. Not just because it is useful, but more that it shows that it wasn't just a recycled ICE design.
I enjoy April's garage. More please!
Had a Lyriq on order for over a year. OVER A YEAR! And I finally had to get another vehicle. GM lost their chance to get me back into a domestic daily driver for the first time in 20 years. Maybe in 5 when I’m ready again.
Yup and tried stealing the $100 order fee. Had to go through hoops to get that back.
You will never find one of these near the base prices shown.
Also the "government" rebate means that my tax dollars help pay for this electric car. If someone wants an electric car they should pay the full price. Why should I be forced to pay for it?
@jims8618 you just paid me 7500 plus my state rebate to help me buy a Tesla M3P. Thank you Jim.
These lyrics are for sale everywhere at MSRP or below. If you buy one with 2,000 mi on it you can save another 15 grand
@@jims8618I’m about to get my 3rd EV with local and federal tax credits. So thank you for the free money!
Yes, you will. All over the place in my area
To me the 1st company to have a car/suv/truck go 0-60 in under 4 seconds, Get 600 -800 miles even in cold weather on one charge and have a charge time in the 10-15 min range will will the race . Eva’s are awesome if you really don’t drive or travel all that much but outside of that they can’t compete with ice cars nor will they overtake them
April lookin like a snack.. thanks hoovie
That was a really good video with you guys !!
Good concept. You should do more reviews like this.
Wait this is Hoovie's GF that Doug was getting on about?? CONGRATULATIONS HOOVIE, you the GOAT bro. Also, your chemistry together is freaking hilarious
It gets even crazier. She's his fiance!
Where was he talking about this?
@@HooviesGarage I should say when he made it cringy awkward during his Cars and Bids Podcast by bringing up your fiance.
Minor correction, Blazer EV is built in Ramos and Lyriq is built in Spring Hill
Looking Most Excellent April!
The vibes are really great, love it
Like all car shopping, go look at and drive what you are contemplating buying then purchase the one you like best. That Cadillac sure looks to be better than those Tesla commuter pods.
My father lives in Florida and he had the tesla suv with the gold wing doors and 4 years later now he has the caddy Lyric and he loves the lyric far above the tesla.
When it's winter and everything is icy, these special motorized charger doors and handles won't last long before they break.
Both much nicer than any tesla imo. EV I would actually consider if they werent GM
I have to agree you're getting into cars that are luxurious and cool looking but ...no thanks, GM
I’m getting a Model Y Performance this month, gifting my P85D to my gf. My Model Y will share the garage with my 981 Spyder, perfect garage.
Good morning TH-cam is a good name. I was thinking April's fool.
April's Fool's Garage?
April is enjoying that under the seat awareness system a bit too much lol
How about if you trade off some of those dust collectors in the barn and get April the Lyriq?
