This gorgeous vehicle-inside and out-is priced right. Not only it undercuts the Germans but I think the interior and design is better than the three-headed German monster. For a black label in the $70,000 range for a 3-row SUV, that’s damn good. What’s better?

I don’t want to hear it, oh, they’re kids. Kids do stupid things, you shouldn’t hold it against them. You were a kid once. Well, stupid is still stupid, no matter how old you are. Great job. Thanks to this fucking asshole in the White House, we now have a generation of earnest young people who will grow up…

Look at Volvo. One product cycle. Their interiors have moved way upscale, too. Exterior, as well. They’re growing. All it took was one product cycle.

I don’t buy German but I do like Volvo, Land Rover, Lincoln, and even Tesla. I cross shopped Cadillac and there was no way I could put down so much money for a Cadillac. The competition is just too good and better. The dealer experience is better. If they want my business, they need to do better. Their interiors are…

Acura in some ways has a good problem. The Honda fit, finish, and quality of the interiors are so good that moving into an Acura feels like a half-step up or even a lateral move. Acura needs to separate itself even further.

That’s the thing. Look at Lincoln. I remember reading that the platform and all the bits for the Navigator and Aviator were designed for Lincoln and it’s trickling down to Ford. In other words, the parts bin hierarchy is Lincoln —> Ford, not vice-versa. At GM, it’s Chevy —> Buick/BMC —> Cadillac. Ford is learning to…

Worldwide, sure. You include China. China is slowing down so we’ll see how that plays out. I’m talking North America, since the subject around Cadillac is succeeding in its home market. And in North America, they’ve been on a steady decline, year over year, sales-wise. That’s why GM has gone into panic. If they were…

That 165K figure would combine US and Canada. sarcalesbase figure is for US only: 154, 702 to 153, 863 then. Off by less than a 1000 sales. Not a huge discrepancy but not identical figures. Nonetheless, the data shows Cadillac is not growing, they’re shrinking. There’s no question sales have fallen since 2013. Maybe…

The question was given an unlimited budget.

Thanks for the link. Yes, outside of the V-cars, nothing is so grand. The V-car styling and interiors should be the base models. I’d say the CT6 top trim and V version have the nicest interiors of a Cadillac sedan since probably the ‘50s or ‘60s. Yet, it’s still below MB, Audi, and BMW by at least a couple of notches.

Please look again;

Neutral: Unlimited budget. I’d spin of Cadillac into its own company, entirely separate from GM. Nobody from GM would work for Cadillac, either, except maybe talented designers and engineers. The rest would be picked from top people from all over the world, especially in management, similar to Hyundai and Kia’s…

“There’s a real disadvantage of being a premium brand inside a mass company. Basically, Cadillac inside of GM, Lincoln inside of Ford or Infiniti inside of Nissan — none of them will make it.”

I don’t know how this aunt will react now, but if she’s stuck in her ways, all this will do is prove to her aunt that she was right, that “gay people have a lot of drama.” From the text she sent back about the divorce and then posting all of this online for the public to see. I would say that’s a bit dramatic, yes,…

The Chevrolet SS was one of my favorite Chevys. It’s a future classic. To me, it was a well done sleeper enthusiast sedan. Very handsome interior for a Chevy. Design was not an eye soar. Seats looked real good. But no one bought it. To piggy back on your comment, it takes more than a good car to sell a lot of them.…

That’s great and all but it’s public knowledge Cadillac has been losing sales every year in North America, while the luxury market sales volume has actually grown in the same time. Unfortunately, gonna need more people like your friend to not only consider a Cadillac but sign the dotted line for sales to improve. I…

do you have a link?

I’d argue last time Cadillac had some real cache as a brand was 50s, 60s, early 70s a bit, and then it took a nose dive in the mid 70s. And it hasn’t been until the early 2000s that Cadillac has attempted to reshape its image. And you’re right. The high end luxury “standard of the world” era was during and before…

That’s lot of money for a BMW.

If you’re not a Porsche person, what’s the next best driver’s car in the same price range as this?
