Audi's New A8 Tesla-Fighter has a 868-Mile-Range

Are you in the market for a $100,000 limo that can go 868 miles without stopping, and that can be refueled 100% in five minutes?  Audi has good news for you. It is Audi's new flagship sedan, and it has an amazing range and ability to refuel from any of almost 100,000 U.S. stations in just a few minutes. What's even more amazing, if initial test results were to hold up, is that it could cost as little as $1,200 per year to operate, in terms of fuel cost only. So what is the secret behind this automotive wonder?Unlike in the Tesla, the Audi A8 lets you depart and drive in any direction you want, without having to plan carefully for those few locations where you can charge electrically relatively quickly (212 miles of range in 30 minutes).  In addition, you're not worried about whether there will be a line ahead of you with other drivers waiting to take their 30-minute turn at charging their cars before you do. You can also turn up the heat to the max, without having to see the remaining range deplete at an alarming rate.  That alone might be the deciding purchase factor.

Lamborghini Egoista - Built as a concept unveiled by Lamborghini for the company's 50th anniversary. The fully functioning model is based on the Gallardo chassis
 It features a 5.2 L (317 cu in) V10 engine producing 600 horsepower and offers only seating for the driver. No need to run to your local Lambo dealer to place a deposit, as in a selfish move, there will only be one example built and it will not be offered for sale.

Lincoln Continental Concept - As Lincoln continues to display its concept Lincoln Continental in hopes of restoring the glory days when Lincoln was the car of dreams. Do you feel this is the direction that will work? Would you buy one? Is the company focused enough on today's market?

Cadillac's Future:It seems that General Motors is plagued with a crisis every handful of years that nearly brings the automotive giant to its knees. This ignition 
recall has really grinded the little progress the company made to a halt. 

Cadillac was one of the shiny little pieces in the GM toy chest. While other 
brands were shuttered or significantly diminished, GM always made sure 
that Cadillac stood the test of time. But it seems that in recent months 
things have become a bit unstable at the luxury brand. This week its head of U.S. sales stepped down as Cadillac's Global Chief, Bob Ferguson, has been ordered by CEO, Mary Barra, to report to D.C. to Looking at the most recent sales data, is clear that there is a bit of a sales problem. The ATS, which was supposed to be the brand's savior is 
down more than 23 percent year-over-year and over the five-month
calendar year, ATS sales are down more than 20 percent. The XTS isn't 
doing any better. 

The two bright spots in the product portfolio are the CTS and SRX, which 
are both in the green for 2014. The Escalade we'll have to wait and see, 
and the ELR is a complete failure. Given everything that's going on GM, this got us thinking: What REALLY is the BIG problem at Cadillac?

It's there and now it's starting to come apart slowly. Is it experiencing a 

PRODUCT problem? A SALES problem? Or, something else?
