We had a company event where we went to thier showroom for the presentation. They were giving test drives but I didn't take one.
The door handles even receed into the doors when you get in the car. Less wind resistance I guess.

If I were to buy a 90+K car, this would be it. I love the drivetrain specs:
1 Speed Automatic... :D

Until electric cars can be recharged as quickly as a gas can be filled up, they will never be fully practical.

cts v will eat this car and can go for like all day? with gas? thats a waste of a car because you have only up to 285 miles on a charge but the cts v can probably go like 350 on gas and get there faster for less money. the cts v wagon is 5 doors and faster so i definitely dont want the fugly tesla haha

There are three different battery options. The 85kwh battery goes 300 miles each charge (depends on your driving habits of course) and is 0 to 60 in 4.4 seconds.

Even still the cts v doesnt have to charge for 6 hours to do the same distance again. Cts v probably also matched that 4.4 if not better.

A 440 connection could recharge a battery like this in 15-20 minutes. A long pit stop for the family. Close enough I think.
Problem is only 110 or 220 is standard, and only some cars can take the 440 charge.
Excuse me, having trouble keeping up with life.
Level 3. Less than 1 hr.

I had read that the correct battery alignment can get the worst case 1hr down to 10-15 minutes.
If the batteries get lighter, that will be the beginning of the end. Which will make gas prices REALLY cheap. WIN!

I won't mind cheaper gas. But I won't lose my vehicles that use gas to electric things

I remember that they showed us two different plugs. One that plugged into your clothes dryer/washer outlet or a standard outlet. Don't remember the charge times but probably depends on which outlet like Odinson said.
