Cadillac? I’m Not Buyin’ It…
Advertisements have been popping up everywhere for Cadillac. In my gaming magazine, on my websites and everywhere. They feature alternative-looking individuals who are obsessed with Cadillacs. It really makes me feel bugged. You can see the videos that they have put up here:
The whole advertising campaign makes me mad. You can’t make me like your cars by sticking one of my peers behind the wheel. Cadillacs are monsterous boats of cars with the gas mileage of an SUV. There is NOTHING about them that appeals to me. Just sticking a multi-tattooed person in front of them isn’t enough to make me want one.
Here’s a unique idea, Cadillac: Try designing a car that I want to buy! How about a sleek tiny thing with great gas mileage and unique styling? It can cost a lot of money. That’s what Cadillacs are, but throw me a bone.
With the design of their cars, Cadillac is running into the sad fact that their consumers are getting so old that their children have taken away the keys. Your population is dying off, Cadillac. I’m sure you realize that, but you can’t get the living to buy your cars without an automotive makeover.
Re the next to the last paragraph in your story about Cadillacs: “Here’s a unique idea, Cadillac: Try designing a car that I want to buy! How about a sleek tiny thing with great gas mileage and unique styling? It can cost a lot of money.”
Can you say “CTS?” …and the best part is it’s a Cadillac for less money than a well-equipped Honda Accord.

Rick,
If you call the CTS “tiny” you need to get out of the States for a few months. I was thinking more Smart Car size. And, with a V-6 engine, I have my doubts about any “great gas mileage” it might have, either.
In fact, the CTS is so far away from anything that I would be willing to drive that I’m surprised that you would suggest it.

You fucking retard. that is what cadillac is. They are the original 20 footers. They arent made to be fuel efficient. If you you want a car like that go buy a honda accord or some shit

My Benz develops 390 horse, does 0-60 in just over 5 seconds, AND I actually get 26mpg around town with a very heavy foot. That’s worth paying for.

why are you mad at cadillac for not making what you want homie cadillac is an american car and id rather it stay american than anything else its like one of the only things left that is.Its american style (BIG BODY) thats what its about.If your so worried about you gas bills then dont buy a cadillac, thats is why ford and chevy make hybrids and small funny cars because everybody wants this and everybody wants that. and another thing the picture has classic in it homie not new ones. i dont see how this has anything to do with your problem. “South texas where i stay riddin caddys everyday” believe that.
