Cadillac will move to NYC as a separate brand

[Bhobbs]

I've always felt that if GM built a mid engine supercar, it should be a Cadillac and not a Corvette. With Cadillac building performance luxury cars, it seemed more reasonable and might break the "you spent all that on a Chevy" stigma.

Number 3 makes a great point, Buick is choking Caddy and Chevy. I want all GM to succeed, but really what's Buicks purpose? Who actually buys Buicks? (said the guy who had a regal 2.0 T manual GM bought back due to engine issues) I know Buick is trying de geezerize, but go to a buick dealer and look at the salesman and the showrooms..

It's all about China. The Chinese buy a LOT of Buicks.......more Buicks than Americans.

Yeah, I remember a few years ago, around the time of the bankruptcy, it was 2:1. No idea what it is today though. Buick (and the entire US market) has gone up quite a bit since the dark days of 2008/2009, but at the same time ... China has grown as well.

I get that Cadillac is a lux brand..but the attitude coming off of the CEO/brand controller makes me want to punch him in the mouth so hard the only thing that comes out of it will be his teeth. When he basically said "No the prices wont be coming down, stop whining" (as Jalopnik put it) it was an instant turn off.

The attitude from them now makes it so that even if I had the money for a new CTS/ATS..I wouldn't spend it with them.

Prices are not even that bad. The only one that is expensive enough to make me question maybe $5000 is the escalade and there are reasons for the extra money. Not like BMWs or porches where the price is insane either way and the American brands are making it harder and harder to justify spending 100k on a Porsche or BMW.
