Mark Reuss on LinkedIn: As I’ve said before, our people and manufacturing expertise will enable | 124 comments As I said over at GMI - the wheels on this look too small, and the front too busy. I also hate that design opening under the leading edge of the hood. It looks like the hood doesn't close all the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzcat Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 The front is definitely the weakest part of the design. But otherwise, it's a pretty solid effort by GM and the first volume product from its EV platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackinaw Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I never have been a fan of the sharp-edge Cadillac styling, but this actually looks okay to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of auto companies are using the sharp edge design theme, and I'm glad Ford isn't one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sharp edges don't bother me too much. I just am getting sick of the trend of putting creases for no logical reason. Toyota and Hyundai do this the most.

That's Car and Driver's estimate for the RWD Lyriq based on its power rating of 340 hp and curb weight of about 5,700 lbs. I don't think they did actual instrumented testing with the pre-production Lyriqs that GM provided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dual motor version comes later (I think). That's correct Harley Lover. The automotive press evaluated the single motor, RWD configuration, which is rated at 340 hp. These are the initial Lyriqs to be produced, with deliveries starting this summer. Later this year, Lyriq with dual motor, AWD configuration and 500 hp rating ($2,000 extra over the RWD model) will begin production, with initial deliveries of those Lyriqs taking place in 1st quarter 2023.
