I own a Lyriq, very thorough accurate review. I’d like to add something tho. When you first get in the car there is an image of a car that pops up. If you press it, it lets you access things like garage and glove box without turning on the car.

One of the things I do love about modern cars is the little LED show that they put on, it's such a fun touch

[kinsgtonvincent]

Do some tips on the basic of driving for new drivers, you know how to explain stuff well!

I feel like people who have these LOVE them. I’m half Dutch and grew up in an expat suburb of The Hague. For almost a year now I regularly have been seeing a Lyric on Dutch diplomatic plates in my neighborhood, which means someone got one as soon as they came out and immediately imported it from the US to The Netherlands, which is kinda crazy

[Adamlllllllllllljjjljljjjjj]

This looks so good. The interior has the perfect amount of buttons while looking modern with screens. Idk how other manufacturers can make electric cars look nice like this😭

[stephenjones]

Well said about the Lyric being quiet and smooth and what it's intended to be and not trying to be all things to all people

[lttsr]

Great video! I’ve loved this car ever since it was announced. Looks like they nailed the interior and exterior and it sounds like GM had a pretty clear idea for what this car’s purpose should be. So many cars nowadays are confused. And there are still (some) buttons!

Now we're talkin'! I'm a little bit of a Cadillac fanboy, sure, but I generally don't like EVs. I don't hate them, I just don't like them. This one won my heart. Got one of these things as a loaner when my car was in for service and I swear to god, the most comfortable thing I've ever driven. My only gripe is how much you have to mess with the center screen to do anything - modes, glovebox, what have you.

Great video and great information about the glovebox without turning on the car. I didn’t know that. Thanks again.

Thanks for all the new and specialized car reviews. The home landscaping is always on point and beautifully maintained.

Mark my words, a regen paddle, that acts like a 2nd brake pedal of sorts, allows you to come to a full stop without using your brakes, can be modulated like a brake and indeed triggers the brake lights as if you were braking, will become the industry standard, that right there has got to be the most useful feature in any EV in terms of drivability. Removes all the clunkiness of 1 pedal systems that are poorly tuned as well, screw one pedal, just give me full manual control of regen.

Day 47 of asking Tedward to drive the S60R

Not a major fan of Ev's and what they stand for by many people. If you have multiple cars in the family an EV can make sense so you always have an ICE vehicle around. As for this Lyric by far one of the nicest most realistic NORMAL EV around. I feel the same way about the Etron as well. I would take this HANDS down over an Tesla. Not even a question!!

[drgswhk]

Those door handles have to be a nightmare in a snowy winter

[danamal]

Damn... charging is expensive!! Those prices caught me off guard :o

[caddyzig]

Great review. I really like the Lyriq and am seriously concerning buying one. I appreciate your honest take.

[JRB]

Can’t say I like the exterior, but that interior is awesome with the mix of screens and buttons

[scottleyva]

That's the only EV for which I would trade my 12 cylinder gas guzzler! I would have to have chrome wheels though.

[hunterrrdrives]

13:00 the things to all people concept basically stems back to jason cammisa's "why you are poor" graph

[hacob]

$0.82 per kwh is insane pricing. I’ve never seen it that high. That would be an $82 fill up on that car to go 300 miles.
