1133553 2010-09-03 02:26:00 They are that!

Think outrageously large and expensive Cadillac in a really beautiful paint job, 24K gold trim (dealer option only) and every possible option that you can imagine inside, outside and under the hood .

Automatic parallel parking
Anti-tailgate/collision/accident prevention Sonar system
Wander-Lane control (sees the white lines)
Rear-view/side-view closed circuit TV
Automatic running boards for in/egress
Eight-zone heating and air conditioning, with keyfob memory for multiple drivers .
Keyfob entry/alarm system .
Keyfob interior settings for seat positions, pedal height, steering wheel tilt and mirror settings .
Back-up radar and automatic collision/back-up brake application
Never-Flat, self re-inflating tires and adjustable tire pressure from driver's seat .
Anti-Roll ABS and PAS system
10 . 1 theatrical sound system .
WIFI & BluTooth
Onboard DVD and webcam, multiple pop-down screens for passengers
Heated/cooled seats - ALL of them .
Auto-tint side windows, electrically opaque'd
All the airbags you can conceive
GPS and On-Star constant telemetry
Centralized 'light-generator' for all lighting via fiber optics . (Optional at this time)
12,000 lb towing payload
Supercharged & Turbocharged Diesel optional - not in California
Supercharged & Turbocharged Gasoline engine aspiration, 89 R/M Octane only
AWD, no extra charge

More things than I care to mention at the mo .

I will NOT be buying one in deference to youse guys needing some petrol for yourselves next week .

I think the gas tank holds 50 gallons or more, but my Blazer holds 38 gallons - so there!

Here's the Edmonds' Sheet on it::



Lovely - but not my cuppa .

Yeah, but will it go without a push start Joe?

Never drove a car with that option - but you pull up to the place you need to park, parallel to the next more forward vehicle in this case and it automatically backs whilst steering and finally settles itself into the space all by itself .

Kinda kewl - huh?

It's not a moped! I think you can push it to NY and back and the engine won't turn over once.

It WILL, however smoke the tires for a few city blocks! Trust me - I've seen them run.

Modern automatic transmission aren't built with a rear pump the activate things inside. The rear pump - if it had one - would have run off the output shaft as it turned with the wheels/differential/d-shaft, etc.

It's an Imperial Gallons verses US Gallons verses Liters and such and so far counting by tens isn't one of my biggest talents - and converting them even less so.

About the price of a good cheap secondhand car then like a Morris 1300.

Maybe a fold out helicopter type rotor comes out of the roof and you can hover the car to the side of the kerb.
