Bob Lutz used to tell GM they could either spend more up front to make a product compelling or they could spend it later on rebates to unload the products.
Weighed against the offerings of other carmakers, CT5 is visually-challenged and not particularly compelling. It’s an offering from what Lutz called a “damaged brand” too. Lastly it’s a product in a shrinking market. CT5 is a phoned-in effort where GM didn’t try very hard or spend sufficiently in a segment that needs to be awesome to sell.
I think it only lasts a year or two and will need incentives during its entire model run for even a modicum of volume.
Go drive one that’s not the base model. It’s far from “visually challenged” or phoned in. They look like nothing else on the road, you can see them coming a mile away (like most modern Cadillacs) Very distinctive and the CT5 looks great in person.
BadCad,
I’m sure they do drive great; the Alpha platform is excellent. I’ve said this before but in the real estate business there is the axiom that a house must have curb appeal. If a home isn’t appealing from the outside, it’s hard to get buyers to go in and take a look at what the house has to offer. The same is true of the car business; a car needs an exterior appearance that’s appealing and an inviting interior. Styling is subjective obviously and I think CT5, like the CT6, has great proportions but the C-pillar has been universally panned. The all-black interiors that most cars are built with and the design that is a generation behind is also a negative. CT5, given that it’s brand new, should’ve had a Escalade-like interior. It’s definitely improved over CTS but didn’t go far enough.
The CT5 might will be the best driving car in its class but buyers have to be lured in with a more compelling visual. Even BMW had to learn that lesson and build better looking, less starkly outfitted cars before their meteoric sales rise could occur.
That’s just my opinion though. It’s really nothing more than that. If you have a CT5, it is no doubt a very nice car which I’m sure does drive great.
Oh I for sure agree about all black interiors, I absolutely hate those! But the CT5 has (I think) 4 no cost options, and one of them has open pore wood! It’s beyond me why anyone would choose the black because its so drab.
And while I sort of understand the c pillar complaint, it’s really not that bad…It just makes it look like a sport back. If you tint that rear window to limousine black out tint, it makes it look WAY better, makes the whole thing look like a window. Granted that plastic thing SHOULD BE a window but I digress…
I know people who aren’t cadillac or GM people and they think the CT5 is a good looking car and would buy one if they were in the market for one.
@Ci2Eye
I’m nearly 100% in agreement with you about ‘curb appeal’. However sometimes a product comes along with other compelling features and attributes that overwhelm its visual shortcomings. Witness the Honda Civic Type R. That is a visual cartoon on wheels but its performance makes it compelling enough to overlook its crazy exterior design and have a cult following.
The CT5 is a mish-mash design. Well done exterior design elements but as a whole they fail to cohesively produce a visually desirable car. It’s pretty good from the front and 3/4 view, but once the full side view with the C-Pillar and back view come into play, it’s eye watering. I had to go see it in person to see if the pictures were not doing it justice. It’s no better in person.
If I’m buying a luxury car, ain’t no way in hell I’m buying film to tint out the window to make the exterior design more digestible.
I see upmarket trim level at best but not real luxury in the overall execution. I think biased perception is also affecting my view of this car. GM/Cadillac’s ‘tweener strategy – an E segment vehicle competing in the D-segment on price and features – doesn’t befit a luxury brand so I get the idea of cheapness especially in some aspects of the interior execution.
5 time Cadillac owner here, but I’m finally done with the cheap GM $hit !
I do think the exterior of the CT5 is OK, i would have liked to see a window in the rear side, yet cheap $hit ( GM ” Good Enough ” ) won out at the end of the day.
I would not buy one new, if they take $10,000.00 off !!!
Cheap $hit, Chevrolet interior dash. 2.0T dog !!
Cadillac is just done !
Unless GM brings an EV with a new Escalade interior and dash, for the same money as the ICE, they are done !
Again, one more time !!!!!!
!!!!!!! WOW !!!!!!!
Considering according to every industry journalist and user input, the CT5 is an upgrade over the previous generation in every way, you’re talking out of your ass. If you don’t want the 2.0 you can get the 3.0!
I’ve not seen that. The previous gen. CTS was pretty well loved with demerits for a very average interior. I don’t think the CT5 compares favorable with the CTS let along it’s competition. The Cadillac lures you in with a low entry MSRP but rises quickly when you equip it better than the average rental car. Every CT5 on my local dealer lot is 50k or better, at which point I’m looking at an Audi A5 or Lexus ES. Not a bad car but hardly a segment standout.
I’ll never say it’s a stand out, I think GM still has a long way to go with that, but even well equipped it’s still less expensive than the outgoing CTS. Although I don’t see the fascination with Lexus, if ever there was a luxury brand I wouldn’t buy it’s Lexus. It gives off no image at all, not impressive IMO.
An interesting comment about Lexus. Forgive me for sounding like a douche, but we’re fortunate enough to be able to get what we want, and we have a handful of newish overpriced cars and SUV’s that have lots of image (non of them GM anymore I’m sad to say). But, believe it or not, we always have an RX hanging around…well, because it’s image is a non image (if that makes sense).
We’ve had 3 of them over 18 years as an extra car, or for kids or relatives when they visit…we usually keep them 6-8 years and only about 50,000 miles. In that time (i’m going to jinx myself here) we have NEVER taken them back to the dealer for a repair…it’s an oil change after 3 years/25,000 (I just went 4 years on the 2016 the service guy absolutely scolded me), a necessary set of front pads after 5-6 years, and the 2004 needed a battery at about the same time.
Then, there’s the image…and I’m convinced it is one of being totally comfortable with yourself, not needing to be on trend, knowing it was a super sensible choice, and not caring what others think. Fact is, I would never buy one for myself, just for others…but never underestimate the power of “no image”, a lot of people want just that.
You don’t sound like a douche! If anything what I said can be taken as douchey.I can respect wanting a vehicle that flies under the radar though, I totally get that. For me personally, if I’m spending 50k on a car, I’d rather it be something with a bit more flash and pizaz, but that’s not for everyone. I’m a weird case if I’m honest. I’m fully comfortable with myself and my life but I’m such a car guy that I couldn’t drive something I’m not excited by every day (I commute daily) but some people would call me crazy for it, so to each their own I guess!
Can totally relate…no way I would buy one as “my” car. I’m guessing there’s not a strong correlation between Lexus owners and car chat!
Not4one
So… you have no respect for the vehicles you own, you abused them and drive them into the ground only to trade them off before the repercussions of your lack of attention.
(You are the same person who keeps their dog chained to a tree only to go outside to show them off to a friend “look at what I got”)
And you sleep well at night knowing that you have totally screwed the next owner of the vehicle?
Again… Nobody, nobody with the proper wherewithal refuses to take care of the things they own, perhaps you should sell a few of your toys, so you can afford to maintain the ones you have.
There is absolutely no honor or bragging rights in that, I am absolutely dumbfounded that you openly admit that you abuse your vehicles by not maintaining them.
Please do us all a favor and post all of your VIN numbers.
You sir, have defined your own character
I am embarrassed for you.
Are you okay dude? Some people don’t care about cars. Cars don’t have feelings, they’re inanimate objects. Comparing it to a dog makes less than no sense.
Seriously, my friend, get some fresh air. As 1BadCad observes, it’s an object, not a living thing. I believe the topic was about the opinion of vehicle image in the eyes of different consumers.
In any event, for the next buyer, all cars have transparent service records, or lack thereof, that can be easily accessed…nothing is hidden today. In keeping with transparency, I do change my water filter annually, which perhaps redeems me? That said, my maintenance habits on home appliances…well, god help the person that gets my fridge.
Quite a few journals have panned the base CT5 including Car & Driver and Motortrend.
CT5-V got better reviews due to chassis and driving dynamics but still called out on exterior design and questionable interior quality.
Yeah, we tried to test drive a 3.0TT yet none at any local dealer, only junk 2.0T.
We don’t want the cheap interior !
I would have one in our garage, if this vehicle came out with the Escala / Escalade dash interior.
Yet not the plastic fantastic” Chevy ” ” Good Enough ” interior.
Sorry GM, we are just done !
When you have a ICE, midsized Cadillac, RWD/AWD, with a Cadillac interior, we might be back, but only if we have troubles with our new non GM vehicle.
My father wanted a Cadillac all his life. Finally, after his hard work, went to the dealership and got his dream Caddy loaded. It was the biggest POS he ever owned. That is GM. Under delivering for 40 years. At least they are inclusive, more women, soy boys, and alphabet marketers. (insert sarcasm)
Bubbaq,
That’s a truly sad story and I know it’s been true for so many other people too. Cadillac’s were an aspirational vehicle for many years and for many people. Folks toiled for their whole lives to save, to retire, to buy a Cadillac. General Motors, and everyone working there, should hear your father’s story, and the countless others like it, and be ashamed of themselves.
The thing is a Cadillac was a great car when so many of these folks started working but by the time they had their kids raised, though college, their finances in order and we’re able to buy the Cadillac they’d always dreamt of, the cars were comprised, badge engineered junk.
I don’t know how reliable the cars are today but I’ve heard stories similar to yours of someone who “always wanted” a Cadillac only to finally get it and wish they could have their Ford back. Like I said, GM should have thought more about what these cars meant to people. To GM, I know it was all about building them cheap, making money for shareholders and getting a big bonus for themselves but to the people who bought these cars, GM is let them down on the fulfillment of a 40 year dream.
GM has nobody to blame but themselves for the fact that nobody dreams of the day when they can buy a Cadillac anymore. As I see it, Cadillac today is just a nicer Chevrolet that people buy primarily on price but it has a still sorta prestigious name.
“At least they are inclusive, more women, soy boys, and alphabet marketers. ”
Did not Caddy go south (and the deaths of several divisions) while GM had “balls” bouncing all over the RenCen?.
It is not just on this forum or about this particular vehicle, however…
It never ceases to amaze me, that the people who leave comments are the same people who cannot obtain the object of their comments without financing, a lease, or charity from friends or family…
and even with that, they still cannot afford it.
(These are the same people who do not know the definition of “Afford”)
The irony of it all is that they have no clue of their transparency, and the people who do matter pay no mind to them.
I’m ashamed of myself for even taking the time to post this, what a waste of two minutes of my time.
Go pay cash, obtain the object of your comment, then and only then does your opinion matter.
How do you know, Whatever ?
How would you have one clue what someone could obtain, from a comment written on a forum ?
I have, I have went, paid cash, obtained the object of my comment, been screwed over by GM and Cadillac, and have been commenting ever since !
I just paid cash, for an $80,000.00 GMC Denali HD, with, in my opinion has a $20,000.00 truck interior/ dash !
I always say, and have told my kids, the best time to save for a new vehicle is the day you buy a new one !
WE will soon be a 1 GM vehicle family, only the HD truck, after 39 years, our 5 midsized will not be GM !
Just too much cheap ” Good Enough ” junk, and with GM no longer honoring their warranties, like the 8 speed junk transmission, and the only customer support is a class action lawyer, we are done !
My father hammered home the same philosophy. Drive the car you have, save the money for the car you want, buy it with cash, then start saving for the next car. Always be ahead, never behind.
I’ve always followed his rule. My Dad bought me a basic car at 16 which I hated but I drove it until I could save enough money to get the car I wanted. I bought a new car with cash as a 20-year old college student and have always had the money ready for the next time long before I really needed a new car. He thought me to have a car fund and make payments into it in advance. It’s really not hard to do. You just have to sacrifice and delay gratification at first then you’re always ahead of the game. Life is less stressful too; if you lose your job, you’re not going to lose your car.
Lifelong GM owner,
You’re right, I apologize, I am sorry…
I just went back and looked at what I’d said, and somehow I misspoke.
I did not mean every single person who leaves a comment.
I should have reviewed it before posting, damn talk-to-text.
I was referring to the negative comments…
To the “haters”
The opinionated ones
The ones whose experiences are limited to what their daddy did, what their big brother did, or what they read on the internet.
The ones who are blind to their obvious shortcomings on whatever the current topic is they’ve commented on… yet it is quite apparent to those of us who read their post.
The best we can hope for is that years from now they come back with a little bit of wisdom, embarrassed by their post, and they try to help the next batch of ignoramuses.
Proving my point even further…
I said, most people do not understand the definition of “afford”.
If your current position in life is that you HAVE TO finance a vehicle…
then you DO NOT go out and “buy” a NEW vehicle, let alone one that exceeds your salary. That is not how one builds wealth,
—as you cannot afford it—
and you have not “bought” anything, you do not have the title in your hand.
“Oh but they have 0% financing”…
And the sky is blue, what does that have to do with one not being able to afford a new vehicle?
If you fully amortize the numbers, with all the other contingencies that come into play… Yes you can go down and get it financed for 0% interest to get the better final price on the vehicle (as you will pay more if you pay cash) and then pay it off at the first payment.
Or you can take that money and invest it in a myriad of different things to get a decent return (Hell, AT&t is currently paying me about 7% in dividends, and if you believe the economy is about to go in the tank, the utilities always go up, so there’s even more to be made on the equity itself)
There is absolutely nothing wrong with using somebody else’s money to make money, that’s how America was built.
However, most people have it twisted, thinking that you finance something, so you can get something… that if at the end of the month after all your bills are paid, you have $500 left over… Instead of saving or investing it, they ignorantly believe they can “afford” the object of their desire… and they are forever in a lifelong battle with debt… “Oh I can get a consolidation loan now,and only have one payment that’s lower than the rest of them combined”
Then they go out and buy more stuff, more loans, more debt, bankruptcy.
They just don’t get it, I’ve never understood why basic economics is not a requirement for a high-school diploma… Unless you’re a conspiracy theorist that they want to keep the people in debt LOL
But I digress, you are correct, I misspoke, and I apologize if I offended you, yet I stand firm in my resolve that the majority of the people who post negative comments are the ones who have no clue.
But who are you to assume that people who finance have no money? That makes ZERO sense. At the end of the month my wife and I can put away after everything is paid for, not to mention she puts away an extra 1k for school every month. Am I doing this life thing wrong? I think I’m doing pretty alright. Your broad generalizations make NO sense. Financing is a viable option for most people, I don’t want to spend 50k all at once, why wouldn’t I rather break that up over years at a time and let my money grow in my RRSP or my TFSA or my investments? You don’t know me, I’m not some 20 year old who makes 2k a month before tax and spends 1500$ on my car payment. So stop talking out of your rear and acting like you’re better than people who finance.
Whatever,
I disagree with you…..sort of. You say a person who pays cash will pay more. There is truth to that. If the dealer is going to make $1,500 profit on a sale but also make another $2,000 on the financing, they might be willing to cut the $1,500. profit down to $1,000 as long as they’re making the financing money. Whereas a cash buyer which will yield them only the profit is much less likely to get the same price cut. However, there’s a scheme that can be utilized. Make a deal and tell the dealer you’ll be financing. Get the numbers in writing then when the transaction is being finalized and they’re ready to send you to the financing office, tell them you’ve decided to just write them a check. They won’t be happy but it works. They’ll protest and stomp their feet but the deal is never actually predicated on the buyer financing; it’s just implied so they have an obligation to follow -through. Alternatively you can do as you suggest and set up the financing but pay it off immediately.
That’s just one of the troubles with generalization in 2020.
As far as financing 1BadCad, I NEVER assumed you or any other people financing in zero % did not have the money to buy.
But every single person has different thoughts !
I for one never full coverage insure. This means I can not finance, as the lender wants to be 150% secure.
Also I for one, want to OWN stuff !!!!!
I am NOT in a perpetual race to pay for something new every 3 years !!!!!
Other than this new Auto tech, that is actually old tech as far as real tech goes, I was also taught that as soon as your new vehicle gets dirty, you have the same vehicle as your old one, they both needed cleaning and maintenance !
I want to be able to say, THATS MINE , its the principal of it, if something happens, like a pandemic, and my cashflow changes, it is MINE, I will never have to worry about it, and do not have to pull money out of an investment at the worst time to cover a debt !!
H3ll I invested on March 23rd and made enough to buy this new Cadillac that I no longer want ( cheap Junk )
It takes all kinds to make the world go around, but for some reason some think they always know it all !!
By the way 1BadCad, Im still waiting for that list of Cadillac parts from top to bottom and where they are sourced, PLEASE !
This makes no sense, why the hell would you pay cash when you can finance for 72 months at 0%? You’d literally be wasting your saved cash when you could make a monthly payment for the exact same total, with no interest, and do something else with the rest of the money instead of spending all that cash. What you’re saying is just bad business, you never spend that much liquid unless it’s absolutely necessary.
You’d do it because if you don’t take the 0 percent financing, you can get a better deal on the car. If the carmaker is offering 0 percent financing, it’ll be an interest savings of say $3,000. off of the life of the loan. In lieu of that, a purchaser can usually get $3,000. more off the transaction instead. Any carmaker has a certain amount of incentive or discount money built into their pricing structure. If you have the money to buy the product without financing, the best deal is to take the incentive money as cash off the top.
What if I told you it’s very easy to do both. I’ve never paid sticker just to get 0% financing. My father has got them down to employee pricing plus 0% interest for 72 months. It makes no sense to outright purchase a depreciating asset. I’d only purchase a collector/classic car for cash.
I’d tell you that if GM dealers have $5,000. in “trunk money” to work with on a new Cadillac and 0 percent financing costs them $3,000., they can still give you $2,000. off the list price or bump up your trade-in value by $2,000. But if you don’t take the financing, and have no car to trade-in you can get all that money off the transaction price.
It’s a bit of a Shell game with a finite amount of incentive money. They can move it around but the “free” financing is never truly free. In order to get it, you give up its value somewhere else.
My little referee moment, I always take the 72-84 month finance but only a pure fool actually use that time to pay it off. I usually have title-in-hand between 3-4 years, I use the 72/84 finance for just-in-case measures (job loss), America runs on credit, use it. All the COD folks can get a Craigslist special.
1BadCad,
For one, I for sure don’t need, 1BadCad telling me how to run my finances.
Also, over the years of buying vehicles, the )% has never lined up with when I purchase a vehicle.
For another thing, I do not buy full coverage insurance! By the time you finance at 0% and add full coverage insurance, you will loose on invested interest !
You see, when I was young, 14 to 16 years old, I was taught, by an old tax man, that its just money in and money out ! The games played in the center are just that, games !
Onstar, XM, Netflix, insurance, vehicle payments, house payments, HA !
Take your money made and look at where it goes, its a joke !
But in the end its principal !!!!!!!!!!
When I was young, I tried, and tried, and tried, to borrow money for a car and business, to no avail. I had no collateral, our family was poor, so that somehow made me poor, we had no phone service, and at times no electricity, yet my mom and dad both worked. And believe it or not, I a white man in South Dakota. To this day, I heat my house with wood, new house, I heat my shop with wood, new shop, 70X80, i get most of my power from solar, I built and installed, I have a standby generator, and geothermal heat for everything, if I do not want to burn wood. My highest outpouring of money, is taxes, followed by cell phones, followed by internet service. I invest yearly in amounts larger than I got payed for 15 years of my life, working a job.
Please continue, tell me again how I should make and spend money !!
I am the exact customer GM wants, GM needs, loyal to GM for 39 years, money to spend on that new $60,000.00 Cadillac, and that new $80,000.00 Denali.
But do to the cheap $16.00 part, and the horrible GM customer support, and the class action suits, and the not honoring their warranty !
Done !!
And good luck !
You have to build credit to be eligible to borrow. Having a car loan is going to help me be approved for a better mortgage in the long run. It’s no skin off my nose at all.
1BadCad,
Let me give you some financial advice.
Taking financial advice from a lender, is just like going to the doctor for a cold !
Give me your money, and come back and see me in two days !!
Sure, the lender says borrow more money from me, and I’ll lend you more money !
Do you know why and how the insurance companies and the banks sell insurance and lend you money ?
They make you believe you need them, and without borrowing money, you wont be able to borrow money !!
1BadCad, put a couple million in investments, you will get endless requests of people wanting to loan you money !
Sacrifice and principal !
Followed by VALUED purchases !!!
GM used to be a brand that I found VALUE in, but that is no longer the case !!!
And that sir, is how and why GM and Cadillac for sure, has become lost !
The people with the money, those of us who seek value, have went for the top value. Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, BMW !
And that has left GM loaning money, GM has borrowed, just to sell those without money, GM’s undervalued, cheap, junk !
..What are you saying? My two older brothers are financial advisors, not lenders. Living a “cash only” lifestyle just doesn’t make any sense. If you don’t have credit, you cannot get a loan, it’s that simple.
Ha, Ha, Ha, HA. That explains it !
You see, I am paying your brothers !
Investors are paying those people ! I had this very conversation with freethinker months back, he was some kind of financial analyst.
And did I say I lived a cash only lifestyle ? NO the answer is NO !
I buy EVERYTHING on a credit card, Hell I would have put my whole $80,000.00 Denali on my credit card, if GM would allow it !
However, you see, you still do not get it
I said I do not borrow money !!
I have built over 15 new houses with a credit card, at times over $50,000.00 a month, payed at the end of each month.
Who do your brothers work for ? Do they have their own investments ? or do they work for a big insurance company or a big bank of some sort ?
You do know how they get payed right ?
People like me or government tax dollars ( people like me ) !
You just keep right on listening to them tell you how to invest and ow to borrow, as they get their recommendations from the analysts who are all told by the big banks what to say !
Im sure you will be able to retire, exactly when they tell you with juuuuust enough money to live exactly how they tell you you can !
Just stop selling the KoolAid to those of us who dont need the KoolAid !
You just keep on drinking that KoolAid, and driving those great Chinese, I mean American Cadillacs !
You’re rambling like a mad man lmao Yeah Cadillacs are made in China now, sure thing bud. You’re a nut job.
Typical !!!!!
Nothing more to add, so here comes the personal attacks !!
Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, from a web commenter none the less !!
Man that hurts, Ha, Ha !
Would you please list where Cadillac is assembled and where all the parts are assembled and where all those parts that make up those assembled parts are manufactured please !!!
I need a road trip in my new truck, and thought I would drive to where Cadillac is MADE !!
But first I think I might need a plane !!! Ha, Ha, Ha !!
Well I could drive to Mexico for some of it I guess !!
Yes, you sir are a hoot also !
You can google this stuff very easily. The Cadillac in question is made in the same factory as the CT4 and Camaro, in Lansing grand river Michigan. I believe the engine is assembled in one of 5 US based plants. Some of GM’s cars are made in mexico, the ones made in China are for the Chinese market. The only one I remember that was actually built in China that was for the NA market was the short lived CT6 hybrid.
Also there was no personal attack, you sound like a lunatic saying stuff like “Im sure you will be able to retire, exactly when they tell you with juuuuust enough money to live exactly how they tell you you can !” Yes because my brothers are mindless governmental robots who are programmed to only perform their secret duties to make sure people retire with no money. Take a rest bud, you’re losing it.
1BadCad,
What is this magic Google you speak of ?
Like I said, a hoot !
Assembled in ?
Manufactured in ?
I thought GM couldn’t assemble trucks just this year do to wiring harnesses coming from Mexico !
Like I asked for, could you please make a list of the parts of your American Cadillac, and where they come from !
I here you can google it !
The electric power steering unit comes from China in my ATS,
Do you want me to keep going ?
Get in there man ! Look with your own eyes ! don’t take my word for it !
LOOK !!!
Look at where the stuff in your vehicle comes from, the seats, yet not just the seat assembly, but the seat motors, fan motors, seat cooling and heating pads, switches, harness plugs, belts, rims, batteries, just on and on !
LOOK, just simply LOOK
I get it the GM sticker on the door says assembled in ( USA somewhere )
But it sure as h3ll no longer says Made in the USA !!
But you don’t care, do you ?
You don’t care enough to LOOK with your own eyes, you just want to Google it and get a GM ” canned ” statement.
Just like your brotherly advise on money !
You don’t care, you just want to make yourself feel better by taking the word of google.
Google it ! Google where the power steering in your GM is manufactured, along with other parts.
You will get nowhere !!!!
Now take that power steering unit out, lay it on the bench, and LOOK at it !!!! Made in China !!!!
Along with MOST of your American assembled Cadillac !
Did I say your brothers are mindless whatever you said ?
NOPE !
1BadCad,
For one, I for sure don’t need, 1BadCad telling me how to run my finances.
Also, over the years of buying vehicles, the )% has never lined up with when I purchase a vehicle.
For another thing, I do not buy full coverage insurance! By the time you finance at 0% and add full coverage insurance, you will loose on invested interest !
You see, when I was young, 14 to 16 years old, I was taught, by an old tax man, that its just money in and money out ! The games played in the center are just that, games !
Onstar, XM, Netflix, insurance, vehicle payments, house payments, HA !
Take your money made and look at where it goes, its a joke !
But in the end its principal !!!!!!!!!!
When I was young, I tried, and tried, and tried, to borrow money for a car and business, to no avail. I had no collateral, our family was poor, so that somehow made me poor, we had no phone service, and at times no electricity, yet my mom and dad both worked. And believe it or not, I a white man in South Dakota. To this day, I heat my house with wood, new house, I heat my shop with wood, new shop, 70X80, i get most of my power from solar, I built and installed, I have a standby generator, and geothermal heat for everything, if I do not want to burn wood. My highest outpouring of money, is taxes, followed by cell phones, followed by internet service. I invest yearly in amounts larger than I got payed for 15 years of my life, working a job.
Please continue, tell me again how I should make and spend money !!
I am the exact customer GM wants, GM needs, loyal to GM for 39 years, money to spend on that new $60,000.00 Cadillac, and that new $80,000.00 Denali.
But do to the cheap $16.00 part, and the horrible GM customer support, and the class action suits, and the not honoring their warranty !
Maybe you should preach to GM on how to invest $16.00 to sell $300,000.00 worth of vehicles !
Done !!
And good luck !
CT5 is 55% US/Canada parts and 19% China
Sneakers,
Where did you find that info ?
Also, please break out that 55% US Canada ! Is that 5% USA and 50% Canada ?
I’m not saying your not right, but that’s parts MADE, Manufactured in the USA from resources from the USA !
You know I bought some Canadian Solar panels that were made in China !
In todays world, now for sure with the trade war with China, other countries are making the China deals and then just shipping it to the USA !
Where are the other 26% of parts coming from ? China by way of country X !
You had better look again !
Just like the new Cadillac Lyriq !
You do know why it will be released in China first, RIGHT ?
Once GM has the China manufacturing down, the parts will start flowing around the world and end up in the USA so we here can get a US assembled China Cadillac Lyriq !!!
LifelongGM,
If your last paragraph is true, I think we all just need to be done with GM. If the last gasp products for Cadillac are merely gong to be assembly kits shipped in from China to Hamtramck just to call them “American”, all my residual good will towards GM will have been depleted.
It’s so hard to even like GM these days much less have the kind of love for them I did as a kid.
It’s on the window sticker of the car. I don’t know what the rules are for country of origin. By comparison my 2008 CTS was 78% US/Canadian.
Sneakers,
I think you and better find out the rules !
When I worked it the component industry, we sent all the parts to assemble our product to another country, so they could say it was made there !
