If it was any cheaper, I don't think customers and the general public would see them in the same light. The reason why Cadillac isn't seen on the same level as BMW and Benz is because of a main reason being price. When the general public sees a bargain price on a luxury name, thoughts of level of craftsmanship and quality arise.

We don't disagree on much. but I have to call U on that. The reason why Cadillac is not currently thought of as being equal to BMW and Benz is because it is AMERICAN... and the Boomers and Gen X are a Cesspool of self-hate. To top it off the inflated pricing of BMW and Benz up until recently reflected duties that Cadillac simply didn't have to charge

Quote: I personally have opted for the more expensive item (regardless of what it may be) by thinking that thing I just bought will last longer, or have better quality or whatever the case may be. Admit it, we all have done that.

Not in regards to cars. I see that Europe was the build place of most anything and I steer clear like the plague

Quote:If Cadillac is targeting the tried and true luxury marques they can't hold back.

Absolutely agree with this.. but pricing high for the sake of pricing high is absolute bad marketing. My only issue with Cadillac pricing is that the XTS is in a fcked up place and should be at least $5K more to start. Their saving grace is that I am willing to bet good money that finding a $45K XTS is about as hard as finding a Mega-Millions Winning Ticket in a Baltimore McDonalds Bathroom. Believe me.. they tried.
