Replying to: lemko (Mar 03, 2008 5:43 am) Oh, he knew it was an Opel. That's why he took a chance, enjoyed the European inspired drive, not a stereotypical barge of a Caddy. But, GM put the Caddy marque on this mechanical disappointment, so from Caddy/Opel he went to Acura, Acura and now Toyota Camry Hybrid (!) and hasn't looked back...   Of course, his lady-friend drives a prior gen Ford Tauras and loves it! So, to her, I guess the Tauras is the "Standard of the World."   I'd still rather have an XK.

#4714 of 6098 Here's what it takes... by circlew Mar 03, 2008 (11:16 am)
to get the standard back. It's about developing success after success and sticking to the plan...not droping models and adding letters.   The making of Corolla started in 1966 when Japanese manufacturer decided to present a small compact car which integrates quality, style and cost-effectiveness of more prestigious models. During 40 years Corolla had as many as nine generations, and in 1997 it was the best selling car of all time. To the present day more than 35 million vehicles were sold and we can expect it to stay on the top in the future.   Lexus is doing it for Luxury and Dependability.   Can Cadillac really do this??   Regards, OW Replies to this message: scwmcan (Mar 03, 2008 2:07 pm) pmc4 (Mar 03, 2008 6:17 pm)

Replying to: circlew (Mar 03, 2008 11:08 am) I'm afraid thinking about it is all that I can do. Because, I'm married...with children. Replies to this message: circlew (Mar 04, 2008 3:52 am)

Replying to: circlew (Mar 03, 2008 11:16 am) yes except toyota just dropped the corolla name in europe, too many bland aplliance connotations there, so I guess it depends on your location. Not to say the car isn't good or not, just that the name of even what is a successful car here (and no doubt about it the corolla is a successful car here and almost everywhere else) can carry different conotation elsewhere. As for the topic, no Cadillac is not the standard of the world, I am not even sure that GM is trying to make them the standard of the world, what the are trying to do is make them world class and available around the world, in that respect I think with the CTS they are succeeding to a popint, the car is very good, no it isn'ty a 3 series BMW (what is) but it is a very good american interpretation of a sports sedan, is that enough for the rest of the world? only time will tell, and GM will need to bring the rest of the cadillac lineup to this standard and above to truly be competetive in the world market.

Replying to: laurasdada (Mar 03, 2008 1:56 pm) You are correct...but keep thinking about it anyway. It's the Law of Attraction!   Regards, OW
