GM announced plans to build the new 2013 Cadillac XTS luxury sedan [in China].

[Talisker]

I had to read this a few times before it sunk in. I'm still speechless.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

That Obama. What a card.

[crosshairs]

Or as they say in China, a 2013 Cataract.

[Mr. K]

The unions must be thrilled!

Yet another reason to refuse to buy a Government Motors car.

[fishtank]

Every time I see a Cadillac, I think of:

* leisure suits

* poseurs

* pimps

* union thugs with truncheons

Am I wrong?

[Charles Martel]

I hope Caddy purchasers like that new flavor of “new car smell” (think: the inside of a Harbor Freight store).

[GoldenPup]

Wonder who was the bonehead who made that decision? There goes the neighborhood!! Buh, Bye caddie.

[goseminoles]

How come communists can afford Cadillacs and I can’t afford shit??

[Nachum]

The list, Ping

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

Easier to do biz with ChiComs than to do biz in the USA.

Now....that is highly, highly instructive.

[circlecity]

Once the plant is up and running Obama will then try to take credit for creating 500 new jobs.

Don’t worry. Someday GM will return the money they borrowed from you.

You have Obama’s word on it.

Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Gangsta whitewalls
TV antennas in the back
You may not have a car at all
But remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall

Just be thankful for what you've got
Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean
Gangsta whitewalls
TV antennas in the back

You may not have a car at all
But remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got

Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh

Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac

TV antennas in the back
You may not have a car at all

Maybe upholstered with fine Bejing Dogskin leather... They should have enough material considering the number of canines they serve up to Kenyan muslim visitors.

Currently, only the Cadillac SLS, an extended length luxury sedan, is built in China. Cadillac imports the CTS, SRX crossover and Escalade from plants in the United States and Mexico.

[Talisker]

Well what about all that American taxpayer GM-bailout money? Shouldn’t there be a clause in the associated fine print that says keep the jobs in America?

I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but it doesn’t seem too much to ask.

[ScottinVA]

Our tax dollars at work. How nice.

[lurk]

That’ll help sales in the US.
