    The worst part of this interior is the old version of the GM Infotainment. Honda definitely got the left overs from the GM parts bin

    The exterior styling is decent, but i agree that Acura kinda dropped the ball with the interrior. Especially compared to the Lyriq. The supercruze seems to work pretty good tho.

    Wonder why Acura didn’t opt for the caddy switch gear. The lyriq has a much nicer interior and they share a production line. The prologue is built in Mexico with the Blazer. 🤔

    I hate the “switch control” argument. Honestly you’d complain if about uniqueness if they did use Cadillacs. No different than Dodge dart switch everyone “forgets” that are in a Mercedes. Plus Honda replicated the Honeycomb design on both brands.

    Good review, Matt. Mfg’s today are certainly testing the waters on their outrageous pricing strategy but I believe in the end it will be a fail. While there’s a large section of folks with high disposable income these same folks for the most part are intelligent and will not fall for this absurdity..

    Thanks Matt for an honest review ! Even if it's not a premium vehicle, the points you raised is actually unacceptable for any car produced today. It seems like quality is no longer important to car companies. It seems more like just throw a bunch of tech in any car and people will do the "ooooohhh....ahhhhh" and buy it.

      I know, I’ve been wanting to. Ford sucks at sending press vehicles to the fleet that I get cars from, and they rarely invite me on drive events. Haven’t even had an owner offer one, so unfortunately no review still. Having driven the regular S650 GT though, I’d be perfectly happy with an S550 Mach 1 for way less money.

    Before you say which screen is better actually measure the carplay size of the screen. Calling the Cadillac screen 33 inches is really false advertising when only 5 inches of it is actually carplay, which if we're honest is the only size that matters. I refuse to pay a monthly fee to get lesser than my phone will provide for free, good example being satellite maps navigation

    Sorry Matt, I enjoyed the beginning of the video, but once I get to the driving part, I had a hard time hearing your voice -- perhaps you need a microphone closer to you during the driving part? Maybe you were going for tha "what it actually sounded like during the ride" thing, but I don't think it's worth it if your viewers cannot hear/understand what you are actually saying....

      Because the range estimates can be inaccurate and shift around quite a bit depending on a variety of real-time factors. It’s not a reliable constant. Battery percentage is.

    Just to be clear, it’s a Caddy being sold through Acura stores, not a Honda/Acura product. As a 24 MDX and 21 TLX owner, I wouldn’t go near this abomination….despite the $24k in incentives available for the A-Spec version.
