Well MB has A-Class in Europe and their top end Maybach and the Mercedes SLR. For them it has worked out without any problems whatsoever. Okay okay so the European market is different and we don't have the A-Class here (yet), but we do have the C-Class coupe which right now I can get for less then $26,000. Rap stars, rich people, Simon Cowell, celebrities all have a Maybach a 57 or a 62. Though the 62 means you have to have a chauffee to really enjoy the car. The orders on SLR are already piling or and the car is a hit. I personally don't think it qualifies as a supercar, but more of a really fast GT cruiser. Anyways if Cadillac would come out with 3 really beautifull new models that would be terrific. I personally would love to see the Sixteen concept made and compete with Maybach. I remember the luxury Cads of the 30's, so much style and prestige. Well thats what GM needs to do with that brand right now. I think all of their products right now are terrific with exception of DTS which I'm assuming will be replaced in next couple of years. I'd also love to see a performance coupe to compete with CL and 6er with the convertible option of course and of course a smaller roadster. I think with that line-up Cadillac can compete with the best of the luxury brands out there. It needs to compete with BMW, Mercedes and Infiniti, and Acura. Buick doesn't have an image right now, well it doesn't seem like it has organized line-up. I think it should compete with Lexus. Meaning more concervative styling, with good Lexus like isolation materials, quiet ride and I think it would do well. Have a model to compete with ES300, RX300, and LS400, plus a nice boulevard cruiser would help. Either that or kill Buick all together!
