Check the CTS graphs again - 12% is the 16 to 35
54% is the over 56 group - this is an old man's car

You are right, I got them mixed up.
 
Man, before I though Caddy was doing well with the new CTS for attracting young buyers. Now it doesn't look good at all.

Most of the owners now of CTS's in this part of the Midwest are younger than they used to be. And they impress me as quietly very afluent. That says to me they buy another car again in a few short years. That says opportunity for repeat sale of Cadillac product to their demographic based on age. It's up to Caddy to have it.
 
The older buyers of Cadillacs tended to keep their cars long, in my observation, before trading them. Many bought early CTS's. But the younger, independent-minded owners I see are a good sign. Understand when I say "younger," I don't mean average of 35; it's more like 45 but there are 30-somethings in there.

Holy Cow 62' !!!!
 
The ULTRA program had to be expensive. Why can't they add the 2-Mode Hybrid to it to help increase fuel efficiency pal ????
 
This is most upsetting because I was really looking forward to that engine as it was a sign of change. I thought we would see V12 & V16 made out of that engine.

Well they will need to add the 2-mode hybrid to the 3.6L to get the 33 mpg.

I have no doubt that diesels are in GM's future here and abroad. They will need every possible tool to get to the CAFE requirements.

Will we have horsepower and performance like we have now or is it a end of an era like it was in the 60's ???
