Looks like someone was hammered when this dash was built. Quality is definitely not job #1.

Same old song...

F that noise. Just yesterday, for the 3rd time since January, Amazon logistics delivered my package to the completely wrong street AND marked it as delivered. The idiots they hired can’t even be trusted to read street signs. How can they be trusted with access to my car?!

And above the exhaust bearings.

Byton my nails with anticipation. Not.

Yup. But they aren’t Jalopnik readers. I once worked with a guy (an advertising account director on an automotive brand) who didn’t know how to turn a screw driver to put on a license plate.

Huh. It boggles my mind that this is even on Jalopnik. What’s next? how to fill the washer fluid reservoir so you can use that window washy thingy?

Sunday morning hangover; aka everyday on Jalopnik.

Same. Creative side. Have worked on 4 brands so far.

No. The R8 is not the only Audi sports car in existence. Plus, Cadillac is having trouble selling regular cars now. You want them to spend huge amounts of money to push a sports car model? Not going to happen. That isn’t how the car business works. GM execs will have a very hard time selling that idea in board…

False. Cadillac has never been a sports car company. To sell a sports car they would require a massive rebranding (hint, extremely expensive and risky exercise).

Indeed. Driving dynamics is not apparent in your typical 5 minute (if that) dealer test drive. It is also not apparent when you’re stuck in traffic most of the time. It not even apparent through the typical American interstate on/off ramp. It is most apparently on a twisty country road. How many American consumers…

Nail on the head.

You have it backwards. Cadillac isn’t going to get much different with De Nysschen’s departure. The cars weren’t B- because of him. He didn’t design, engineer and build the cars. He may have taken where the brand needed to be in terms of marketing, but couldn’t move design/engineering and manufacturing away from the…

And Audi took 20+ years to change perceptions.

Pretty much what I was thinking as I read the write-up. GM’s Lee wasn’t wrong about lifestyles and buying habits. Wasn’t wrong about Apple (now). They made the mistake of ignore how Apple got there. Apple products were good after their revival. Once popularity was up, buyers cared less about the product and just…

There is no ROI. For many of them they are just hobbies of some rich playboy son of some royal SOB of some oil producing land.

It would be a more trailer park version of Swift. Oh... hmmm. BBIAB.

Nah, it should be called “Blimey!”

Oh brother...
