BMW, Audi and MB have Euro brand prestige and sharp management. Cadillac is negative prestige and their dull management hired a charlatan who wants to party in NYC.

Spot on. Johan de Nysschen is a charlatan. GM wastes billions of dollars producing these shitty sedans and their coupe variants nobody in this segment wants or will ever want. Trying to compete against BMW and Audi is a futile waste of company resources.
"If this ends up available for $429 a month on lease, I'll get two."
