The cadillac thing doesn't seem so out of place to me considering the push they've been making since the first CTS-V to be seen as a serious performance brand like an American BMW. Dunno. I just want an 11th team.

I think I’d rather have three or four teams that could win on a given weekend than another backmarker.

does the CTS-V still use the SBC engine or whatever they gently caress they're calling it now? because the illusion of Cadillac as a luxury brand really loving fell apart for me once you open the hood and there's a 1950s Chevy engine in it dressed up with some chintzy plastic poo poo to make it look "modern"

Which I guess in a roundabout way is what any american "luxury" experience is about, dressing up some poo poo and pretending its premium

I still sometimes forget it happened. Like I'd have thought "we have a yacht club" would have involved a tank filled with water at least.

To be honest I don't have an issue with it personally, if that's your kind of thing then go for it. and lord knows the whole Disney land/world economy is big enough to prove there is a market for that. Where it becomes dumb for me is when people play dumb on why American manufacturing doesn't command a premium anymore when that poo poo gets pulled so often. Cadillac is a joke compared to other luxury brands very specifically because it tries and pulls that poo poo so often.

I would quite like it to be the law that the place where things have been built is displayed prominently on the package / website that you're buying from. For me it's in the interest of trying to reduce the distance things have had to come, but also it's funny when a brand leans heavily on their USA credentials and the stuff is made in China.

Sometime around 2014ish GM did a clean sheet design of the LS engines to modernize them and that is what the CTS-V now uses. The ATS-V I think it a turbo V6. The idea of Cadillac making the “American M3” I think is a good goal (as a person who loves performance family sedans). And tbh I think they nailed it. It’s exactly what you expect from an American M3: big gently caress off V8, decent handling, atrocious interior. Could beat an M3 in a stop light drag race and costs substantially less but will be full of rattles and shakes by the time it hits 100,000km MustardFacial fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Jan 7, 2023 |

Just saw a Facebook post from an "F1 Page", that used the old Team USA car that was created on here years ago as an example of the Cadillac F1 team car. Made me laugh still

ferrari is owned by some dutch company but alfa is indeed a chrysler edit: re-checked wikipedia and i guess that "Ferrari N.V." is still partially owned by FCA/Stellantis so I guess Chrysler has two teams in F1. FakeBlood fucked around with this message at 07:05 on Jan 8, 2023 |

Ferrari, Merc, and Renault execs respect the hell out of GM and its premium Cadillac marque. I learned that from reading an otherwise terrible thread on Something Awful Dot Com.
