“Driving is just not that exciting a task.”

You don’t live any where around me.

If I just drove around here I would have looked at a Dodge.

I am glad you aren’t in the market...the sticker shock raised my blood pressure for months. It’s terrible.

I’ve been buying cars for cash since my first marriage ended. I would never tie myself down to a large payment again.

I’ll believe it when I see it, sounds like something from “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.”

It sounds like GM is trying to kill somebody.

Damn, most Caddys I have seen on the roads since I learned to drive seem to have no conscious driver. Even the newer ones that apparently have some semblance of performance are still driven by the semi-comatose.

Has something changed? I know Lincoln drivers grew disaffected when the hoods of the new cars no longer resembled aircraft carrier decks.

Both companies seem to have luck selling to the same dying clientele that has no clue that the car may be capable of as long as it starts.

They really should be selling them Priaps and Volts.

“My car says your car isn’t worth the asphalt it rolls on, and has said so via the intra-vehicular link. And now, what is your car going to do about it?”

Claim that we’re related by material and get a temporary restraining order.

Cops come and take your starter as well as the starters from any other vehicles you might have.

‘The 2017 Cadillac model will feature “Super Cruise” technology...’

Gotta love being able to go supersonic without having to use the afterburner!

I’m sure it will be a very hackable car!

Is, ‘hackable’ a word?

Imagine questioning one of these Cadillacs after it has been in an accident.

Honda made in KY? Ummm...no.

OP said "Japanese", not "Honda". Toyota has a plant in Georgetown, KY.

Driving is just not that exciting a task.

Just an entire set of sports built around it... open wheel, stock car, drag, bandit, go kart, etc etc etc. It's only every American kid's first introduction to power and freedom and adulthood. We only fall in love with our first car because of it. Many of us discover love and sex in our first car, too. Tons of idiot, drunk, and/or blind elderly drivers to dodge, along with pedestrians, bicyclists, kids, pets, wildlife, etc. Yeah, nothing exciting at all.
