I currently drive a 2018 XT5, which is the vehicle my MME will replace. I *might* have considered the Lyriq (or any Cadillac EV) as an alternative to the MME if it had been available by the end of this year. The Bolt, you may ask? Thanks ... but, no.
By the time the Lyriq is available, it is very likely to be a generation behind almost all other OEMs in terms of the specs that matter. Ultimately, that's always been Cadillac's (and, by extension, GM's) biggest problem: they pull their innovation punches. The Volt was a plug-in version of the Cruze. The Bolt was obviously a (CAFE) "compliance car." The Lyriq is aiming at meeting 2020's leaders. That won't cut it by the 2023 model year.
