Re: Rate GM's Handling of Cadillac

CADILLAC MOTOR CAR COMPANY ? - and its successors ?

Since 1958...... lousy overall with some notable exceptions.

The situation of the the 1999 Escalade along with GM's own surprise at its instant and large success basically summarizes a great deal of the situation....... in just so many ways.

On all fronts.

Americans as a people have always wanted one of their own to yearn and strive for...... which for quite awhile now really meant a Cadillac that succeeds - and is the one that we can not only be proud of in our own terms as our aspirational first choice but also as one that is unabashedly, unapologetically and exuberantly so..... American in character.

A House subcommittee demanded today that Toyota account for several comments made by a U.S. executive Monday, saying his assurances ..... did not match what Toyota had told congressional staffer just a week ago.

"Toyota officials indicated that sticking accelerator pedals are unlikely to be responsible for the sensational stories of drivers losing control over acceleration as their cars race to 60 miles per hour or higher,"
