Courting the Masses Behind the Red Curtain

[hausdok]

You all might have seen something in the news the last few days about how the Chinese market has just surpassed all others in terms of auto sales and how American manufacturers are designing many models around Chinese tastes.

I have never - not even once - ever considered Cadillac a performance sports car but Cadillac is touting a performance sports image in China, as the following Cadillac television commercial for Shanghai's V-Day will demonstrate. I have to give them credit, these folks are awsome drivers.

That two wheel slalom was bad a**.

Heck. The Lexus GX 460 can do that without the ramp.

I had a Honda Prelude up on two wheels once for about 3 seconds as I roled over and landed upside down in a filed. No one said I was Bad a**

Cadillac isn't just an old geezer marque anymore. The CTS V series IS a Bad A** car. A legit BMW competitor. (And I'm not a big GM fan in general.)

IMHO, they should sell their sportier lines at a different dealership to rid themselves of the bluehair stigma that the Cadillac brand carries.

Unfortunately, they kinda waited too long before introducing a serious luxo/performance car on the market.
