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.
@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.

Since apparently the weirdness in the commenting won't let me promote, I'll just copy it in there...
@DoctorNine's D9 Cat: Open note to GMN techies: For some reason on Sunday, and early Monday, when I pressed the approve button for unapproved comments, I was giving out stars. Someone eventually fixed that (thank you), but now I can't even approve comments, only promote them. Star functionality is making it hard to have a conversation in here. Please fix? KTHXBAI!!!
Reminds me of the time when my dad bought his magnum. He was the second person in town to get one, and we got it at dealer price, of course it helps when the dealership owner is one of your best friends. Practical, quick enough, and has a sound that makes you smile a bit. And of course, it was mean lookin. The car at the time was a celebrity, wherever we went people asked us about it. When I think of this very sexy cts sports wagon, I cannot help but reflect on some of those groovy times in that car in its earlier days. I'd buy this but alas, $40k is about as out of reach to a guy who can barely afford a price reduced caliber as shaq holding candy over a malnourished 4 year old kid.
@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Holy crap! I now know what U want to go to my own funeral in! Hopefully I die soon so I can finally take a ride in a Jaguar E-type.

The only appropriate place for wood on a wagon is the side panels.

I like the CTS sport wagon, but not V6 engines or automatic transmissions.
And no, GM bean counters never listen, especially when they've got the government writing their checks.
