The same crappy caddy front end that exists on every other current caddy, slightly less infused with down syndrome.

Hmm, when all you have to choose from is a turd or a polished turd. Your still gonna have a turd either way you slice it.

I just don't know how you people are so optimistic and accepting of these generic mobiles. There is no style what so ever. Its been this way for decades now and its what made people have no pride in their vehicles and what gave us so many shitty drivers. Sure I'll just lease this silver pos that I dont care about and not really pay attention to how I drive because its not mine. And whatnot.

Thats what this vehicle says to me. 'I have no taste and I cant drive either. Stay away'

I'm glad the majority of consumers don't think the way you do.

Wow. That is just as backwards as you can get from what nearly everyone else has to say about the new cars coming out of GM. I respect your...er, taste...but wow. I think your use of the word "generic" shocked me the most...

Wow, yeah "generic" is not really a word I have heard anyone use to describe a Cadillac whether they like it or not...some would complain they are too flashy and overstyled and not generic enough.

I personally love the new front end/grill and the interiors are anything but generic!

I swear these gm designers must be on on "Operation Boring."

It would be nice if they were creative enough to define themselves a new front end for their suv crap. But no, its just the same.
Do you like any GM vehicles?

Alright, explain how to make it less boring and generic while still obviously being a Cadillac and having mass market appeal.

This also goes for the other 2 American manufacturers. I am totally against the cheap plastic everything that happened. Body style took a vacation and everyone went to designing gross cars. A few things like the late 90's firebirds turned out real nice. But for example they should have called the GTO the G8 in the beginning rather than insulting that name with a lame generic body, and done the GTO properly.

And I'm not paid big bucks to do the designers work for them. I don't have the time to figure out how to rescue that disaster. Plus I think these cuv pos need to gtf off the road. 9 times out of ten they arn't paying attention and driving poorly. This includes luxury cars.

Instead of this pos they should have kept pontiac and made a firebird to compete with the camaro.... Then I'd buy a bird and my dad would get a camaro. :(
But lol they kept BUICK and still produce hardly identifiable cars.... -_-
Here is hoping to a wildcat or skylark with proper performance options.

This quote alone shows that you really don't understand the automotive industry at all.
