My daughter ordered one, so if production goes as planned, I should be able to take a good look at one this fall. Hers will be the single motor RWD version with 350HP and 312 miles of range (100 KWH battery pack). She ordered it with no options, but it will still be pretty nicely equipped (vented seats, adaptive cruise, auto high/low beams, and a lot more).
Not sure about comparative dimensions, but the appearance of this car reminds me of the Chrysler Airflow concept car. If Chrysler can get it out soon, there appears to be a lot of demand for this type of car.

SOLD OUT? More Like RESERVED.
Sold out? How can they sell out of something they haven't made yet? How many did they "plan" to sell? They could have sold out of the planned 10 they wanted to make. lol! This needs context. So let me be the person who provides you some context.
Sadly, we don't know. GM didn't say. But people had to place a $100 dollar deposit (which is fully refundable) on it. It is estimated by some auto journalists that 20,000 vehicles were reserved (not sold out). The estimate goes as high as 233,000, but that's a smoke and mirrors number. That is just people who were interested back in May.
I love how they play around with that phrase: "Sold Out".SOLD OUT? More Like RESERVED.

And if it works out as well as the Ford Bronco rollout you will be lucky to get one by 2025.SOLD OUT? More Like RESERVED.

BTW, where in the world did GM come up with the name "Lyriq"? And does it even have a meaning? Makes one wonder.

BTW, where in the world did GM come up with the name "Lyriq"? And does it even have a meaning? Makes one wonder.
"Cadillac announced late last year that it would revert back to real model names and slowly phase out the current alphanumeric nomenclature over the next little while. The first vehicle to arrive under this new naming convention will be the Cadillac Lyriq EV. Lyriq is a brand new name for Cadillac, so many fans may be wondering how General Motors came up with it and what its origins are.
We were also wondering what was behind the Cadillac Lyriq nameplate, so we asked Cadillac’s head of global brand strategy, Phil Dauchy, to shed some light on the matter. Dauchy told GM Authority executive editor, Alex Luft, that the Lyriq name is part of a new Cadillac naming structure that will see all vehicle names end in “iq.” These “iq” names will replace the CT# and XT# nomenclature used on current cars and crossovers powered by internal combustion engines and are intended to signal a change of course at Cadillac – that being from ICE to EV.
As for how Cadillac came up with Lyriq specifically, Dauchy explained that the name is a nod to the fact that Cadillac is the most mentioned brand in songs. No other brand (not just automotive brands) is mentioned in more songs than Cadillac."
Thanks brother. But, GM is going to have to make sure people know how to pronounce it.
