Ouch. Well, I guess Caddy better get back to the drawing board. Sure looks good though.

This was a few months ago. I liked the idea of the BLS but they do make some good points. There are alot of better options for similar money.

Also keep in mind the mantra at Top Gear: "If It's American, Trash It!"

Jeremy Clarkson is a pompous ass and gets far more credit than he deserves.

Ohhhh...this review hurts. They didn't even talk about what Cadillac got right.

[jwrebholz]

I think the Brits are still a little sore about that business back in 1776 and 1812.

The problem is Cadillac is trying to sell an ugly rebadged car in a market that already thinks American cars are crap (despite being a Euro rebadge) for the same price as all of the much nicer RWD German competitors.

Even if so, the rest of Europe agrees with him on that. I guess Kia might have sold more vehicles in Romania alone YTD than Cadillac in entire Europe. And that's ALL Cadillacs, not just the BLS.

Oh, and that's not American. It's Swedish.

Actually other British car mags actually liked the BLS.

That's not completely true. Clarkson didn't hate the Chrysler 300C and he was quite excited by the Viper

As for the British mags liking it, CAR magazine placed it 4th against 3 series, A4 and IS Lexus.

IMO it's a pleasant, but not outstanding, car

While loads of your beloved American artists are buying Japanese made Toyota Prius just for the image sake.

Jeremy Clarkson, a British journalist bought an American made Ford GT just because he wanted one badly.

How's that for a supposedly "American hater"?

Clarkson is no tree-hugger that's for sure And all those artists that bought Prius are nothing more than hypocrites and a number of them actually drive gus-guzzlers as well.

It is really good looking, but they already decided on it before they ever got in it.

Have you ever been in the back of a 3 Series, it ain't no fun.
