Oh, I see, the Caddy is rotated 90*. The overall grill is much nicer looking on the Caddy, IMO.

I don't door ding my own shit. But that said... I re-arranged the entire garage yesterday and it was a bitch and 1/2. :triggered: because the VISTIQ needs to go on the other side as the charge port is on the left, where as the charge point on the IX is on the right.

The gas door on the Camaro and CT4 is on the right, like a BMW,
Why can't they be consistent?

good question. But it actually worked in my favor this way I can charge either car without having to move them.

I was just thinking about that. Opposite sides work in your favor, even if it's a short-term nuisance.

This is a totally normal two car though... Very hard to find anything larger than that.
