Luxury auto boom leaves Cadillac behind (Boo hoo) [View all] mfcorey1 Jul 2014 OP

I keep thinking back to that obnoxious Cadillac commercial that ran during the Winter Olympics Not Me Jul 2014 #1

Yeah, if I had a Cadillac, I would have gotten rid of it over that ad. Coventina Jul 2014 #2

Not your grandpa's caddy anymore LOL snooper2 Jul 2014 #31

Still ugly. Coventina Jul 2014 #32

I am kind of with you on this... Not Me Jul 2014 #36

ITA. That commercial never made any sense to me. Coventina Jul 2014 #38

The commercial didn't seem to create ELR sales. gvstn Jul 2014 #50

Better looking than those boxes and bubbles people drive now days. Fawke Em Jul 2014 #43

I find most current cars to be ugly and boring, actually. Coventina Jul 2014 #44

commericals always influence my thinking too, that is why I'm getting Fiat Abarth :) snooper2 Jul 2014 #30

Yes. Those ads must be at least contributing to the problem kcr Jul 2014 #37

Vomitous smarm, wasn't it? DirkGently Jul 2014 #60

I'd rather see people buying American cars than German or Japanese n2doc Jul 2014 #3

They are ugly liberal N proud Jul 2014 #4

And lincolns are worse n2doc Jul 2014 #7

Are you sure Cadillac are made in America betterdemsonly Jul 2014 #17

That list doesn't appear to cover luxury cars n2doc Jul 2014 #29

I just don't understand American car companies' approach to our market. DirkGently Jul 2014 #68

Should be an OP Coventina Jul 2014 #69

"Boo hoo"? Jenoch Jul 2014 #5

No, but American corporate brands are no friends of American jobs betterdemsonly Jul 2014 #23

I don't see anything positive in cheering the decline of American industry. Atman Jul 2014 #6

Nope, just jealous because I do not own one. You are adding mfcorey1 Jul 2014 #11

I see no cheering. mfcorey1 Jul 2014 #14

I agree Populist_Prole Jul 2014 #58

People who drive luxury cars sneer at American workers. That's why. nt Romulox Jul 2014 #8

My Dad Drove Caddies and Buicks ProfessorGAC Jul 2014 #10

The average BMW/Mercedes driver wouldn't drive a Buick to save his life. It's an image thing. nt Romulox Jul 2014 #13

Buick actually has some nice cars now. Atman Jul 2014 #18

I didn't say Buicks were bad. Just that the average BMW/Mercedes owner isn't cross-shopping them. Romulox Jul 2014 #20

That Makes Room For Exceptions? ProfessorGAC Jul 2014 #21

Did you make this information sweetapogee Jul 2014 #59

Perhaps auto dealers should slap Deadhead stickers on to bolster sales Brother Buzz Jul 2014 #9

Are you still so mad about a television commercial that you cheer against union jobs? Throd Jul 2014 #12

Who is cheering? mfcorey1 Jul 2014 #15

Way to walk it back! Romulox Jul 2014 #16

No walk back. I said what I meant. Your interpretation is wrong. Peace. mfcorey1 Jul 2014 #45

"Boo hoo" usually denotes satisfaction from someone's misfortune. Throd Jul 2014 #19

Not in this case. mfcorey1 Jul 2014 #47

You are. nt Dreamer Tatum Jul 2014 #42

The content of the article is more important than what I feel. That's why I posted it. Focus on mfcorey1 Jul 2014 #46

Sorry, but when you add editorial comment to the article in your subject line Dreamer Tatum Jul 2014 #48

WHATEVER. Have it your way. I am moving on to the next post. Ridiculous mfcorey1 Jul 2014 #51

Oh, boo hoo. Dreamer Tatum Jul 2014 #52

Could it be the rampant corporate ageism responsible for eradicating their buying demographic? HughBeaumont Jul 2014 #22

I'm not surprised. CanSocDem Jul 2014 #24

Mercedes LOL, want to see what a $1000 dollar shock looks like? snooper2 Jul 2014 #25

I used to own a BMW...same thing. Atman Jul 2014 #28

I had a little BMW PasadenaTrudy Jul 2014 #41

Product cycle. bluedigger Jul 2014 #26

Except for Tesla, is there much of anything in the "luxury" category that's energy efficient? Silent3 Jul 2014 #27

Lincoln makes hybrids that sell for the same price as the standard engine model Bluenorthwest Jul 2014 #35

There are tons of hybrids IronLionZion Jul 2014 #55

I probably should have googled "luxury hybrids"... Silent3 Jul 2014 #62

Fleet sales & leases.... Historic NY Jul 2014 #33

The main reason is that they are too expensive taught_me_patience Jul 2014 #34

Ah, the usual tail-chasing. Dreamer Tatum Jul 2014 #39

Caddies are still ugly PasadenaTrudy Jul 2014 #40

Reading some of the responses brings to mind the old saying "do as I say, not as I do". Tarheel_Dem Jul 2014 #49

But I don't like that COMMERCIAL! nt Dreamer Tatum Jul 2014 #53

Question? Is that commercial still in rotation? Anywhere? Tarheel_Dem Jul 2014 #54

I wish it was. I love it. It's on YouTube though. nt Dreamer Tatum Jul 2014 #56

I wasn't crazy about that commercial either, but I'm an adult. I won't "cut off my nose to spite... Tarheel_Dem Jul 2014 #57

Not spite avoiding a dangerously defective car though, eh? DirkGently Jul 2014 #63

And sales remained steady. Imagine that. I'm not for tearing down US manufacturers, so you should Tarheel_Dem Jul 2014 #64

Wait. "Sales are good?" How does that bear on bad cars / bad management? DirkGently Jul 2014 #65

Not my job. I don't have to acknowledge shit on a random internet chatboard. Later. Tarheel_Dem Jul 2014 #66

I imagine GM management said something similar DirkGently Jul 2014 #67

Doesn't help Caddies are still so UGLY. DirkGently Jul 2014 #61

Cadillac still has an average transaction price of over $49,000 DJ13 Jul 2014 #70
