Good God. Scary. We had our house tented years back, and I recall the process to have the gas turned off, then back on, was quite exacting and filled with proper oversight. I found out it was because years before that, a house did the same thing as the one in the video (killing people in this case) when a tented home…

While I can't argue with the success that at least Lexus has had with that tactic, the Korean brand is still a solid step behind the Japanese in terms of most relevant criteria. For now. They're gaining quickly, but still they need some more time, undercutting prices to be competitive. Same, ironically, as what I…

I don't think the Japanese would like being associated with a Korean car maker.

What is that? One of those Korean cars with the Bentley-like logo?

Totally. I swear this almost seems like a practical joke (and a funny one). Forget an iCar...GM needs to steal Johny Ive to help fix that shit.

Yeah, I really bungled what I was trying to say in that last post. But you squared it some. The fleet parts seem to trickle up to Cadillac, even if only a few, or not as visible. Whereas, with the three German brands, the same parts basically trickle down into their commercial products.

I'll give you that. But his false start (at best) with Infiniti is more than enough baggage for him to yet overcome, now that he's with GM.

And...that may be the inescapable fact. BMW, Mercedes, and VAG don't make fleet cars. GM is famous for churning out cars destined for rental lots across the country. So, no matter how hard they try, or how much PR spin their managing director puts on the subject, Cadillac will always carry pieces and parts from…

I really wasn't feigning my surprise. I would have never, ever, guessed those came from a car model which was intended to compete directly with the Germans. Then again, I don't think GM has had a clue when it comes to the "final aesthetic" for many, many decades. As much as we all (myself included) like to heap praise…

No. Fucking. Shit. When the guy has to explain that the llama where they got the rare arm rest fur was fed only Egyptian dates by a blind virgin...I think he's missed the point, entirely.

OH FUCK - OH FUCK - OH FUCK!!!

Kindergarten is NOT the place for Gawker Media, my little friend.

These just remind me of the days before modern sheet metal fabrication...and creative industrial designers.

Yeah. Until you see the shitty, boring rear end.

1) It's still got the bird beak, so kind of an automatic fail (unless, you're the one guy who liked the bangle butt?).

No. That's just a big fucking trunk. That's like calling the hood, er, bonnet, an engine door.

Yeah. It KILLS me to admit that, considering BMW's seriously fucked naming system, but the GC models are quite nice, and quite rare. Even here in LA, I've only seen two 435 GC models, and if I were in the market for a Beemer right now, I'd seriously consider one of those.

What are your plans for when you leave Cadillac?

Zing!
