The Cadillac Lyriq is made at the Spring Hills, Tennessee plant. Perhaps you're thinking about the Ford Mach-E, which is made in Mexico.
Ariya Evolve+ finally getting to dealer...

By comparison to your CX-9 it sounds to me like the Lyriq will be “right sized” for you.

I’m thinking of the chevy ev that will be sharing their platform with honda. I assumed that cadillac would use the same plant, but I was wrong.

One of these could have been yours....It took about a year between the time I reserved an Ariya and when it was delivered to dealer. I was just informed that it'll be 18 - 24 months wait time for a Lyriq.
Cadillac Lyriqs sighted!
I was at Tustin Nissan this morning to see if my Evolve+ was still there since I don’t plan to pick up until Feb 1. While there, the truck driver was getting ready to unload 7 Lyriqs off his truck to this Cadillac dealership adjacent to Tustin Nissan. FyI, MSRP was only $61Kish with mfgr add...

Hello Sir,
I've been thinking right along the same lines.. 👍
Even though I already have my Ariya, I'm Not Impressed.. It's already having issues.. I've seen some post here where they've had to have theirs Towed to the dealership. Mine was D.O.A. one evening I went to get in it.. Thank Goodness it croaked in the garage and I had the needed equipment to resuscitate it.. 🤕
Recalls, Slow Charging, and Overpriced.. pretty much sums up the Ariya. The Lyriq has received nothing but praise from all that have reviewed it.
I was thinking Blazer SS or a loaded RS.. but, at that point, I think it's best to go Full Luxury instead of Horsepower Sporty.
The Caddy will have better resale value as well.. These 1st Gen EV's will only be good for about 4 years anyway before Solid State Battery Technology renders them Obsolete.
May as well spend the next 4 in style!
Good Luck if you do go Lyriq.
Yeah, I've been waiting going on 10 months for a Lyriq. I've hedged my bets on getting an EV this year by putting a deposit on an Ioniq 5 and getting on a wait list for an Ariya at my local dealership. It might come down to whoever can get me one first.It took about a year between the time I reserved an Ariya and when it was delivered to dealer. I was just informed that it'll be 18 - 24 months wait time for a Lyriq.
If you really want the Lyriq, maybe my friend's neighbor may want to sell one of her Lyriqs. She ordered two Lyriqs (one for the mother and one for the daughter). They live in Laguna Hills, CA.
I can't imagine her daughter wants the Lyriq because it's quite BIG. They never seen the actual car in person. I showed the mother the photos I took. I told her I was surprised how big the Lyriq was compared to my Ariya.
Appreciate it. I'm holding out for AWD in all possible EVs. Given that I don't believe Lyriqs have been produced yet with AWD, I'm guessing they have RWD. It's a must feature for our snowy midwest climate. I actually got a call from our Cadillac dealer about someone backing out of a RWD Lyriq this past week, but had to turn it down.

Just placed a (pre) order for 2024 AWD Lux 1 Lyriq. Cadillac hasn't actually begun taking hard orders from dealers yet. They've got to fill all 2023 model orders first. This just gets me in a (long) line of people wanting one.
Dealer also said planned production run for 2024 model is only 18K vehicles and there are more than 18K people ahead of me in line to get one. They have 175 preorders just at this dealer.
So, odds are that it might be a 2025 model that I get in late 2024 or early 2025. He did confirm that they're only marking up MSRP $1.5K, but who knows what 2025 model prices will be. Perhaps by then GM will figure out how to source more of the critical materials going into their Ultium batteries and I can get full $7.5K tax incentive.

Agreed. Lyric and Ariya do not belong to the same size category, nor do their respective MSRPs. That said, at our local auto show the Cadillac booth was right in front of the Nissan one and I can tell that the Lyric was an eye catcher. The inside is quite pleasing, and with a larger volume to work from there are things that look great in this car that I'd not want to see in a smaller car. This car would not fit in my garage, which is a bit short, plus it is not eligible to any govt incentive because of the starting price. That limits their customer base to more luxury-oriented people. Good! There were some turnoffs to me, like this odd metal piece to help opening the door. Oops, the 2024 will not have this "feature" but normal handles instead. The designers pushed it too far, it seems. It was a bit fun to watch the archetypes of people gathering around the different models, electric or not. The Ariya was mostly surrounded by empty nesters. The Ioniq and EV6 by younger people. The Electric Hummer by... well, Hummer lovers.
@gregmooty waiting another year before you get yours is a good thing, as they will iron out the design wrinkles. Cheers!
Chances are if Republican wins 2024, there may not be $7500 IRA for anyone by then ....
Have you looked into EV9?
Here’s our first look at Kia’s EV9 three-row electric SUV — Ars Technica
The EV9 was designed with American tastes in mind and goes on sale later this year.

If you havent heard, our binding contracts that we signed back in Aug '22 qualify for $7500 tax incentives.
So, in case you haven't "let go of your reservation", you may want to reconsider again? Hard to let go unlimited EVGO charging, $1240 discount to early reservation holders, and 2.59% interest rate financing.
