    Cadillac is entering the EV space with a BANG. The new LYRIQ has almost superhero-like stylings, a comfortable drive, and a surprisingly accessible price. Will Alex be impressed or is this car too big and heavy to be a sensible daily-driver?

    As you perhaps review more larger and heavier electric vehicles, it would be good to give attention to energy efficiency. It seems that everyone only cares about range, and considers an electric vehicle to be environmentally friendly by its electric merit alone. That's gotta change at some point.

      It's because the "best" ev's right now don't even come close to the range of petrol or diesel cars. Which for city people isn't an issue but for people that travel alot or like me have to somtimes drive 400 - 800 km a day, EV's are not an option. range is a killer for all EV's
      worry about energy efficiency when EV's can do petrol/diesel ranges and the energy doesn't get created with coal power plants

      That's only really a concern if you live somewhere that doesn't use lots of renewable energy. In the PNW we mostly use hydropower, so the energy efficiency of a car is not a huge concern.

I remember some car video (I think on LTT main channel) where Alex was really positive about the car, but then Jake came in with his opinion and gave a different perspective on it and didn't rate everything so positively.

Surely the right way to go is phasing IN full phone integration? Almost everyone has a decent smartphone that can run Android Auto, and if for some reason they don't, add in an optional extra for a tablet or basic android device that can just permanently sit plugged in to handle features like Maps and Spotify etc.

    THANK YOU for measuring the in-car audio system! Savagegeese used to do it but then they stopped. If you're open to constructive criticism though, I'd have two requests. The first one is to not smooth the FR graph so much, 1/3 is way too much. The other is to have a waterfall plot, determining the fidelity of an audio system by looking at graphs is much easier when you can also see the time domain. Great review though, I really enjoyed it!
