"All the naysayers have no clue what they are talking about and are just bashing Cadillac just to hear themselves talk. There just jealous of Cadillacs success and future successes"
 
Does that include the naysayers who had such bad experiences with GM products that they had plenty of time to hear themselves talk whilst waiting for the Caddy to be repaired. Again. And again...
 
It does appear that GM/Caddy is righting the ship, though. But, please, let's not rewrite history. The Cavalier, I mean Cimarron, was only memorable for one reason...
 
Now, was your first post serious? Or just to keep this discussion heated...?

Must've been you because nobody in my family has ever had a bad experience with a GM product, much less a Cadillac And I highly doubt we were the only family to ever have great luck with our GMs.
 
Are you serious or just making stuff up?
 
Maybe you meant Toyota? Cause that I CAN believe.

The Escalade is the Standard when you think of Luxury SUV's just like the Cadillac DTS and CTS are the best in their respective classes.
 
Boy, this is getting better and better...

GM builds a lot of cars. I'm sure some percentage of them spend more time on the road than in the service bay... Well, probably...
 
Just kidding folks. There's a new Malibu in my parking lot at work, looks nice. I'll keep an eye on it, see if there's anything leaking or any pieces falling off...!

Take for example the Escalade. There is nobody, not Mercedes, not BMW, not Audi/Lexus/Acura/Volvo who could design a more beautiful or powerful SUV like GM can. The Escalade is the Standard when you think of Luxury SUV's
 
Maybe when "you" think of "beauty", the Escalade pops in your head. But I suspect not everyone here is a pimp or bling crazed. There is hardly an SUV out there that I wouldn't rather be seen in than an Escalade.

"Didn't the Escalade basically start out as a Chevy Tahoe? Chevy not in same league as Merc, BMW, Audi, Acura. "
 
The MDX started as a Pilot/Odyssey. The RX started as a Highlander. The QX56 started as an Armada, etc. Parts sharing is common. The Escalade has a totally unique interior, HIDs, 9" nav screen, 22" wheels and a better powertrain than the Tahoe. They are not the same vehicle.

I find it interesting how GM bashers continue to talk about the Cimarron even though it was in production about 25 years ago. How is that vehicle relevant today? People feel a 25 year old Cadillac mistake is reason not to buy a current Cadillac but dont feel MB or Audi's recent quality issues are enough reason to be skeptical about those brands. Do we have any poor quality Cadillac stories more recent than the Cimarron? I think I was a toddler when that car was out, its time to move on.
