Can I just point out how absolutely stupid the controversy behind this ad is? It's a Cadillac. You're not supposed to be able to afford one until you're making close to six figures a year or have saved up enough to buy one.

Yeah, I don't understand how anybody can complain about the price of a Cadillac. It's obvious who GM is targeting with Cadillacs lately.

I, for one, am glad Cadillac isn't going the direction Mercedes is with the CLA-class. That thing was designed for one purpose only: chasing volume. The side effect? It cheapens the brand. It's not that impressive to say, "I own a Mercedes Benz" when you only paid $29,900 for it.
Some people might find that stance elitist or snobbish, but the truth hurts. Luxury car brands shouldn't be affordable to everyone and their mother.

I saw a bunch of CLA's in person at a dealership great looking and very nice interior. If i were to guess its price from appearance only I would heave guessed 44 to start up to 60 loaded out. I didn't drive it so that may be where the price shows up.

Next-gen Volt reportedly due next year.
Dealer-sourced rumors of 8 speed transmission for Escalade Platinum in September.

An RS would be ... odd, throwing a few cosmetic touches onto an SUV to make it look sporty while retaining the performance of a stock SUV. Might work if they gave it the 6.2 though. A Tahoe SS would need an LT4 or other forced induction mill, the regular 6.2 isn't really enough oomph for a ~5500 lb truck to be considered a Super Sport. Added bonus of such a Tahoe SS: that would make for an interesting Escalade-V

Personally, I'd much rather see something be awesome yet expensive than mundane but cheap. Awesome and cheap tends not to happen very much (discount pizza being the main exception).
