looks like a Honda, or Buick, or any number of look-alike roller skates

If that’s the same car from the commercial with the business-y guy who was acting like a total jerk...well no wonder!
Granted, he was speaking about how great it is that Americans have (had?) this go-get-it attitude and the commercial was very pro-US. Still, they could’ve done it without the guy making Americans sound like egotistical so-and-so’s
N’est pas?

I really wish the truth about just how much environmental damage the construction and long-term operation of an electric car does versus that of a non-electric.
I bet good money that if you took an original '68 Mustang, back before catalytic converters and all the other pollution controls were slapped on cars, and compared it with an electric car over their entire lives -- I mean, from the materials being pulled out of the ground, through its construction, during its operation, to what is left behind to rot in a junkyard -- you'd find the old Mustang far, far less environmentally damaging than the electric car.

Whatever possessed GM to rebrand a Volt with the Cadillac insignia? Do they really think the Prius owners will switch? That’s just stupid.

It’s a Volt with a higher luxury package. If they priced it in the 40s, it migjt move. At over 70,000 folks will just get a Tesla.

Actually the distinctive appearance of a cadillac is the only thing that sets it apart from the rest.

For that kind of cash a person could buy a BMW or a Audi.
If I had that kind of cash A FJ Cruiser would be in my parking spot.

It has the same engine and drive train as the Volt?

That’s how you interpreted that commercial? Ok...
If the company as a whole operated with that mentality I’d buy one of their vehicles yesterday. As it stands it was just a (very appealing) marketing ploy.

For less money they offer the 2014 CTS-V COUPE with 556 horse power.

To: smokingfrog
Exact same. The only difference is what they set on top of the chassis and drivetrain.

Sorry about the size ... I don't know how to reduce them ... not that they're already reduced
(good pun)

I disagree. I really, REALLY hate Government Motors, but that car looks really nice.
But art is subjective. :-)
Frankly, I’d like to have the Cadillac in the movie “The Island”.

Well, it is "the Cadillac of hybrids."
To: TheZMan
I don’t have TV, but someone on facebook had a post showing that commercial and the toyota response. After I watched both, I mentally imagined telling the granola cruncher in the Toyota commercial that works in “compost” that if it were not for guys like the guy in the Cadillac commercial, her hybrid Toyota would be a two wheeled cart pulled by an ox.
To: cableguymn

SUBSIDIES.
