I think I'm in love with him!!! :dro: :001_tt1: :worship: :faint: :001_wub:Everyone hates te guy, but I like him. I like his vision of a modern Cadillac, a more independent division in the GM empire. A division with only one purspose, make the best luxury cars in world.
I think the only thing I disagree with him is the CTx naming scheme.The bottom line is that de Ny has forgot more in one day about running a luxury brand than the public knows. Like it or hate it, he knows what he is doing. The uniformed don't realize that Infiniti broke multiple sales records this year because of the blueprint he gave them, not in spite of it. Infiniti is thrilled with the direction he gave them.
He'll probably be asked to tone it down a bit but one thing is for sure, he isn't afraid to voice his opinion and tell it how it is. Cadillac needs someone with conviction and swagger like him, a.k.a. someone that actually has drive and won't settle for mediocrity. He could have some things differently but you'd think people would be excited for whatever change was necessary to bring Cadillac back to greatness. The GM public needs a cultural adjustment as much as Cadillac.
Good for Mary Bara and Dan Ammann for giving him the tools and green light to do what ever it takes. I think by 2017-2018 our conversations will be vastly differentI think everyone who "hates him" is a Cadillac and/or GM traditionalist -- afraid of change and in denial of the failure that has wrecked the Cadillac brand of the last half century.
Good for de Nysschen for making the REQUIRED changes for TRUE SUCCESS.
Absolutely. Conservatism is good to a point. Holding onto the past is good until you're carrying so much baggage, it restricts your ability to move forward.I think everyone who "hates him" is a Cadillac and/or GM traditionalist -- afraid of change and in denial of the failure that has wrecked the Cadillac brand of the last half century.

Announce new nomenclature system, to denote hierarchy and accommodate expanded future portfolio. Every armchair marketing expert has ten opinions to share. Fortunately, I do not determine strategy based on the unfiltered observations of people who do not have a 360 degree understanding of the problem.
HEHE. Exactly.Somebody get this man a medal, because he's a winner.
The more people who hate him, the better he is for Cadillac and GM in general. More change is good change for a company as ****ed up as GM.
Well, I don't have a real problem with the name. I'm more concerned about consistency across the board.My only issue is the new nomenclature. I disagree with his strategy and find it both devoid of character and very limiting.
Pretty much!!Absolutely. Conservatism is good to a point. Holding onto the past is good until you're carrying so much baggage, it restricts your ability to move forward.
This, a thousand times.Criticizing is very comfortable and easy, anyone can do it. But criticize without bases, only that "it's what everyone says" is for cowards, mediocre. How necessary is objectivity!
CEO of Caddy needs a corporate Jet!
My case is similar... Not I especially liked the new nomenclature, I think it could get any better (honestly, I got a little obsessed with the subjectMy only issue is the new nomenclature. I disagree with his strategy and find it both devoid of character and very limiting.
Delta................ sadly to say they're not the worst. That honor goes to U.S. Airways.CEO of Caddy needs a corporate Jet!![]()
