In reply to Production Cadillac CTS Coupe Revealed In New Commercial
What a fantastic commercial. Caddy seems to be the only GM division capable of creating inspiring commercials... and cars. I couldn't be more pleased to see them really shifting their market into the future. My father has only ever owned Cadillac's. When I was younger, his cars were too "old man" for my taste. I always wished he switched to something a bit more modern such as BMW or Mercedes. He stayed true however. The re-awaking of Cadillac has me actually thinking about owning one for the first time in my life. It's true, it is not your father Cadillac anymore. Kudos.

Compare this ad to the new Buick ad. This is inspiring, while the Buick ad is insipid. This is forward thinking, while the Buick ad is ass. This is visually stimulating, while the Buick ad is visually disturbing.

OK, Buick, it's now time to fire your ad agency, and find a new one stat. You're only one of 4 GM brands left, and if you don't change your product, and elevate your message, maybe you won't survive.

Cadillac, this is a great campaign, but it's time to add some more significant products to the stable. The DTS is old, the Escalade should be retired, and the STS? Well, it never had a chance. And the XLR, well, it really was a Corvette in drag. So it's time to revive the product line, and offer something other than CTS vehicles, and a CUV.

Pretty awesome, love the CTS coupe and wagon, but it could really use some Led Zeppelin.

@JB_Finesse: I really liked the "Break Through" campaign. They got your attention and did a good job showing off the cars - something which those Kate Walsh ads don't do.

@FromaBuick6: The Kate Walsh ads got my dad's juices going... which I think is there target market. So, a win in my book.

is it me or was that commercial directed by a fan of 80s movies? I got a little Wargames flavor in there, and then a fair bit of Buckaroo Banzai.

The digital dash is pure awesome. I had no idea they put those in these.

Still, this is prolly not the ultimate Cimarron as these were eventually equipped with the 3.1 liter.

GM should've just made an A-body Caddy instead of these - including a wagon version. How cool would that be?

@toronado455: The 3.1 engine never made it to the Cimarron as factory equipment. Perhaps some were put in later to replace a tired 2.8.

@tonyola: Ah darn. My bad. I must have originally just thought it would make an easy swap, and then at some point forgot it was only an idea. Doh!

@ploopsy: It is a re-badged Civic much like the CSX that replaced it which is a JDM Civic though in the case of the CSX its design became the Japanese Civic instead of the other way around. Wikipedia and Canadian friends are my source.

I don't even think a loaded cimarron cost 15k when it was new, did it? No wonder this one's 95% crack pipe now. You have to be kidding. 15k for a J-body? I mean i wouldn't pay 15k for an '04 J-body with 26k miles... much less an '86.

Let's see, for that money, I could have an E30 325iS for the summer, 325iX for the winter, and a lot of beer money!

That's what I'd do if I had that kind of money to blow.

I can't be fooled, this is obviously a blatant attempt to try to get the highest crack pipe percentage in the history of NPoCP.

I am glad that there are 51 like minded folks like me so far. We have always fought against the odds people. We can still turn the vote around!

I even have the full support of the Morris Marina Owners Club from the great England-land. Apparently they have been fighting that neo-nazi dictator called Clarkson and his cronies. Unite we shall win!

I once owned a Pontiac J2000 from the same family of crap. From personal experience this is one huge doobie.
