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.

Perhaps, but the title does have that "where are we going" flavor. Or does everyone think Caddy doesn't want to be the world standard again and will settle for being "just another GM model?"

"just another GM model?"
 
Just another GM division.

How Cadillac can upset... by lemko

...a long-time Cadillac afficianado.
 
About a month ago I was eyeing up a Cadillac DTS Performance. The car is a classic case of Cadillac giving you more and less at the same time. It had a lot of features my current car doesn't have like satellite radio, nav, ultrasonic parking assist, 18" wheels, 20 more hp, heated and cooled seats, etc.
 
It then doesn't have the things to which I've become familiar on Cadillacs. It didn't have the automatic parking brake release I've had on every Cadillac since my 1975 Sedan DeVille. It used the same foor-operated unit as in my girlfriend's LaCrosse! I can tolerate it in a lower-end Buick. I will NOT TOLERATE it in a $55K Cadillac!
 
The steering wheel was OBVIOUSLY the same unit used on the Chevrolet Impala except with a Cadillac logo in the same round space with wood trim and leather with some really sloppy stitching. The unit in my current Seville STS is much more distinctive and better crafted.

I sincerely hope not.
