I think Cadillac faces an uphill battle regardless. I imagine European buyers are as interested in a diesel Cadillac wagon as Americans are in a heavy duty VW pickup truck.

They've tried. Hard. The lack of dealerships is due to the fact that they can't establish even the smallest of footholds on the market. They have made many efforts and have failed. Miserably. Cadillac has made no secret of the fact that they want desperately to crack the European market. The simple fact is that…

To be honest, I don't quite know why Cadillac is so hell-bent on conquering the European market. They've always been the quintessential American luxury car, they have zero brand equity in Europe, but everybody in the US knows what a Cadillac is supposed to be. The model that comes closest to that traditional idea of a…

Cadillac tries, yet sells vehicles in double numbers on the continent. I wouldn't be surprised if Cadillac is outsold by Ferrari, and that's not because Ferarris are so common.

Agreed, as a german the first thought in my mind was "Hehe, nobody cares about an inferior car parked infront of our brands."

OH FUCK - OH FUCK - OH FUCK!!!

Maybe I'm just not understanding what "cut and sew" exactly refers to in this context, but I'm pretty sure that he's wrong about Caddy being the only manufacturer that does this. I've seen NatGeo docs showing nearly every other luxury car maker "cut and sew", and many of the German ones even choose their cattle hides…

This is probably a matter of personal taste. This is often overlooked: Cadillac is the only full-line luxury brand that employs "cut-and-sew" interiors across the board. If you carefully study the execution of the interior fascia, you will indeed notice that in Cadillac models, only the highest grade of authentic…

Right, I think this hits the nail on the head. Cars from the German Three feel more expensive than they actually are for the most part, and Cadillac still feels like you're not quite getting your money's worth. They're getting close for sure, and they're doing a good job fixing themselves as a brand, but there's still…

Yup. And they're doing a good job, but giving Cadillac credit for being the cornerstone of American luxury 60 years ago is kind of pointless considering how far behind the German Three they've been in recent years/decades.

I think it is a work in progress. I stepped from a Mercedes E class to a Cadillac CTS at Detroit. It was like going from a 100k car to a 40k car. Problem was they were both 60k. Hopefully the people at Cadillac noted this and will be fixing the problem starting with this CT6

SPOILER ALERT: nobody will buy it. colossal flop. lease specials for $429/month.

Unfortunately, not the latter half. And we're now in the 21st. They have some catching up to do.

What does Ford beating GM in factory workers really mean?

Ford Transit with the little diesel???

Standard Equipment includes:

just priced one out using truecar pricing...

He's angry because he keeps forgetting leg day.

I predict lots of ATS and CTS's being dumped on rental companies (base engine, base trim, no sunroof, no nav, etc.).

That's from 2013 you tool.
