I can't believe you people weren't embarrassed to post a picture of that Chevrolet rip-off, otherwise known as the Cadillac Cimmarron.
 
I'd be very surprised if any Cadillac afficianado around these boards disagreed with you. From what I've read, too, most insiders at Cadillac would agree with you, as well.

Is the question answered? I mean Cadillac is far from #1 even in their home country, isn't a bit optomistic to speculate that they could ever rule the world? Maybe we should revisit in anpther 50 years...

The answer is!!!!
 
There is no litmus test for the standard of the world. So no one will be able to be it.
 
Toyota makes the most profit so perhaps they are the standard? MB makes the most expensive volume vehicles so maybe they are? Cadillac has the best looking cars/trucks so maybe they are?

What is the litmus test for "best looking"?

that was my point. Pretty much style is in the eyes of the beholder.

I see a 'short take' ( 1 page ) on the 2008 V6 STS in the C+D that arrived today...

Sounds worth a test drive......

The basic problem of this whole forum has been the question of what the standard is. In post #9 I pointed out the basis for Cadillac using the "Standard of the World" in their advertising. Cadillac does have a basis for using this, even though the basis is about 100 years old.

luxury car standard.... by sls002

I think that for a luxury car, the current BMW Rolls Royce is a very good car. The current Cadillac line up is, I think, at the low end of the luxury standard. I like my 2007 SRX, but I do not think that the interior appointments are anything close to what I would expect the Rolls to have.

Rolls-Royce used to use the slogan "The Best Car in the World!" Now, is Rolls-Royce truly the best car in the world?

Define what you mean by "best". What I said is that the current BMW Rolls Royce is a "luxury" car. By that I mean that the body is well designed and the interior appointments are made out of very good materials. (I assume that this is so, as there are no Rolls dealers anywhere near here)
