    Do this translate to poor marketing ? For me it looks, We have great product but its not reaching right people so they can buy or evaluate correct.

    I am sorry but the Cruze and CTS are not underrated they both sell very well and have been getting great reviews in everything... how the hell are they underrated?

    This doesn't suprise me. You read so many reviews on GM cars and they always seem less than flattering. Then you drive one, and wonder what the heck the reviewer was talking about! I think a lot of this has to do with GM's less than rosy past (mostly 80's and 90's)

    By the tastes of the general public, most will pick the Civic/Corolla over the Cruz, as well as the 3-series/C-class for entry level luxury. I'm not arguing the general public isn't misguided though.

    The author, in doing some research, probably wound up on this website, and said, "Wow, people really hate the Cruze and CTS (and SRX)."

    "What is left unsaid in all this is the fact that conventional cars with a tank full of petrol are far greater fire hazards than electric cars will ever be. Some 185,000 vehicles catch fire in America each year, with no fewer than 285 people dying as a consequence. But, then, people have been living with the hazard of petrol for over a century. Irrationally, electric-vehicle fires are perceived as somehow more worrisome simply because they are new." - The Economist

    Well I can understand the SRX. It seems like nothing can touch the Lexus RX. I have read reviews that say the MKX and the SRX are much much better products than the Lexus RX but yet the RX sells way better than both.

    Lexus has the name cachet that Cadillac used to have. Buyers operate largely on rumor, reputation, and emotion.

    It will take a lengthy and well-generaled (no pun intended) offensive for Cadillac to get to the top of that hill again.
