Went to Woodward Dream Cruise this past weekend. Had a great time as always. I tell everyone I know that is even remotely into cars of any kind, you need to go at least once. It's total automotive overload. Best way I have found to describe it to non-gearhead friends is that Woodward is the automotive equivalent of what you would get if you combined Woodstock, Coachella, and Burning Man into a single weekend. Rain was forecast this year so I think there were slightly fewer local cars from the Detroit metro area than normal, but still tons of really cool stuff on the road. I thought the Ford and Chevrolet displays were better this year. Both had some really cool concept cars on display. Speaking of concept cars, we started downtown at RenCen and GM had several past concept cars on display. Very cool. They had the Cadillac Cien there which was always one of my favorites. I've captioned most of the photos below.

Cadillac Cien
Buick Bengal Concept, which I believe was the design inspiration that eventually evolved into the Sky/Solstice, which I always thought were cool and totally underappreciated cars.
Cadillac Ciel Concept. A very long strangely proportioned car with suicide doors, but the look works.
Silverado EV. Last year the Hummer EV was on my wife's wish list, but now she's leaning toward the Silverado EV. It is a sharp looking truck. Still, I'm trying to convince her that our daughter is heading off to college in a few years so we don't need more than 2 seats so a C8 (or C9 by then) is the more practical vehicle!
This was a Tahoe Overlanding Concept. Really not a concept truck in the traditional sense, but had a lot of GM bolt on accessories. It looked really good. With deep enough pockets and skills, I think a Tahoe could actually make a really killer trail rig.

But, if you just want to buy something and hit the trails, I think the Bronco is the way to go. These things are awesome. If the lead time and dealer markups ever get under control, this is something I could definitely see myself ordering.
