Saw a Cadillac ATS 2.0T with a SAIC-GM logo in Chinese on the trunklid. Used Google translate to read the Chinese characters. No way someone imported and titled a Chinese built Cadillac, right??

This car had normal Texas plates, not State issued Consular plates.

Yeah that’s bizarre. Unless “CDM” con versions are becoming a thing

It has the body of a Miata, but there was a full frame visible below....
Don't know much more, other than it can go pretty fast as it passed me on the freeway.

Notable car sighting thread

First time ever seeing a Huayra. It sounded fantastic under the highway overpass.



Note the personalized Montana HUAYRA plates.

I thought this was fitting since we were recently talking about boring car colors. A sea of white, even my GTI that i am driving is a flavor of it.

Lucid parked at the Prudential Center garage in Back Bay. Also saw what I believe was a 2023 M5 Comp with the 50 year M anniversary emblems. Marina Bay Blue over I think Tartufo (possibly that other tan color). It was awesome.
