The ruler prevails!!!

Yes, GM is continuing it's quest to make the Cadillac brand worth buying again. You have to  be pretty old or some sort of Soprano style gangster to relate the brand as top tier luxury but aiming to change this GM has unveiled this week at the North American Int. Auto Show a "racing car".  I admire the attempt but like the rest of GM's products to the american public, it lacks soul. Why do they insist on pushing this weird ruler only design style for so long, it's time to let it go, it's not as cool as they think. The car is sort of lame when you compare it to something like a A4 or C Class DTM, at first you look at it and go wow, then hmmm, and finally you just want to stop looking at it. It kind of looks like a funny car from the front, a case of bad car pimping all together.
But i'm all for a manufacture making a serious commitment to racing, even if their car seems like something  Lockheed Martin made on their spare time, so for that thumbs up for GM.


The production model on the other hand is something I still haven't made my mind yet, like most of GM's claims the "New standard of the world" is nonsense, adding Brembo brakes a Vette engine and tuning your car at the Nurburgring does not make your car the new standard of anything. They claim the car is so fast they had to add a spoiler, but in order not to damage the design, cough cough it's already ugly, they had the clever idea of making the center taillight a "spoiler", which honestly just sounds like the excuse the ruler happy designer told them in order to add a few more straight lines. But I have to admit, the Cadillac's are getting nicer and nicer, on the outside I would even consider one against a Mercedes or BMW if I was really feeling patriotic but GM still has a long way in restructuring their company before they change the core of their flagship brand to what it once was.
