Replying to: rockylee (Nov 27, 2006 9:19 am) Cutting edge? What?

Replying to: rockylee (Nov 27, 2006 9:12 am) I can't go on 'hopefully' as being worth much in regards to havbing the superior product. Always talking about the next model doesn't bode well. Standard of the world also should mean something is marketable to every major location. I don't see that as the case right now. You mention market share...that is exactly right. The common standards right now can be sold most anywhere. |

Replying to: fintail (Nov 27, 2006 9:09 am) However, the question is: WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS DISCUSSION!!!

Replying to: fintail (Nov 27, 2006 9:21 am) The Northstar compared to MB motors of those days was cutting edge because it was derived from the famous german engineered LT-5 found in the ZR-1 Corvette. BMW, all they knew how to make was a 240 hp. inline-6 for its M3. A great engine in a compact sports sedan. Everthing else from BMW, was junk even though I was a fan of the 7 series styling and interior design back in those days. Cadillac was the standard of the world for at least a few years anyways back in the early-mid 90's and if my meory serves me correct it even won the anti-gm biased Motor Trend calipers.  Rocky

Replying to: sls002 (Nov 27, 2006 9:31 am) The point is to discuss what makes a standard of the world today, and what Caddy can do to get there.

...Cadillac was, is, and will always be the Standard of the World. I don't care how wealthy I become, I will still drive a Cadillac. Now, there can be different standards: Per styling, Cadillac definately is it. No car is prettier than a Cadillac in my eyes. Per quality and reliability, I'd say it is Lexus. Per trucks, I'd say it's the new Chevrolet Silverado. Per status, it's a toss-up between Mercedes and BMW. Per overall value, I'd say it's Buick.
