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)

...to me is F. C. Kerbeck across the Tacony-Palmyra bridge in Pennsauken, NJ. In addition to Rolls-Royce, they also sell Bentley, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati, and Hummers. They also do a brisk business selling used Cadillacs and Lincolns. Their Buick-GMC franchise is next door.

It appears that most Rolls dealers are on the east or west coast, with a few in the central US.

No. The best major car manufacturer is Aston Martin.

Maybe then Caddy could use "was the Standard of the World"
 
Looks like the Slade is still receiving praise...but no mention of the cars

A few years ago I would have argued with that but then Porsche built the Cayenne.

While it may be "best", this does not imply most luxurious.

Maybe there's no answer to the question posed at the start of this thread. Maybe the hosts should rename it something like what's on the Lincoln forum: Where is GM taking Cadillac? Most of the discussion around here isn't so much about answering the original question of standard of the world, but instead is general discussion about the direction and future of Cadillac.
