How Cadillac Should Market Itself - Episode 1154
General Motor's head of global product says the automaker is on track to consolidate its global platforms. Automakers look for new ways to reduce weight and ...
Well.... They are saying. WHAT IF WE TOLD YOU... FERRARI BORROWS TECHNOLOGY
FROM CADILLAC. Well... Ferrari doesnt do that. What they are refering to is
the god damn Magneride PIONEERED BY CADILLAC. Yeah... Which means Cadillac
was first to put it into cars. And based on the TINY fact that Ferrari
employs a similar system (so do many others). they are claiming equality to
Ferrari by this association. Based on that they both use GMs suspension
technology. Which they dont. Just a misleading claim.-
Delphi used to be... way back... one of GMs many hundreds of
subcontractors. That does not make their stuff GM property. This idea that
Ferrari calls GM for parts. That Ferrari is using parts off GM shelves, is
insane. Pure and simple. But this is what they want you to believe. That
there is ACTUAL rivalry between GM and Ferrari. That there is ACTUAL
connection between these companies. To make people believe GM is actually
in the game. On the cutting edge of competitiveness. Right up there with-
Everything is a declaration of war with you people. Every tiny little
detail that doesnt support your own view of how GM operates, is a battle to
the death. This is what GM achieved by marketing their cars with patriotism
and the american dream for generations. "GM runs deep" indeed. Its decades
of marketing that makes you rise up and wave flags in their defense. Even
today when GM took more bailout money than the entire country of Greece and
STILL abandoned 89 huge plants and effectivelly fled-
-and stop talking about BMW. Fact is. Cadillacs dont put in the money,
manhours, materials BMW does to be competitive in every country. They just
dont. Instead they went out in the shed and came back with a Corvette
engine, went faster than a 4 years older M5 in a straight line and proceed
to claim superiority to BMW. Using BMWs reputation as a quality brand, to
sell Cadillacs. This is called Ambush Marketing and is borderline illegal
in most countries. America needs to re-discover their brands.
Basically Cadillac needs to stop shouting BETTER THAN BMW AT HALF PRICE.
Its degrading, borderline fraudulent and suggests deep brand insecurity.
First of all... Isnt it peculiar to market the Cadillac to customers who...
would like a BMW but cant afford one? Similarly, Corvettes are marketed as
budget Ferraris.. Like saying "we know you want a Ferrari but you cant
afford one so please please buy Corvette instead. Americans need to make
DESIRABLE cars and sell Caddies to people who want Caddies-
-the big boys. Google gives over 6 mill hits in 0.2 sec supporting this
view that Ferrari uses GM parts, This is no accident. GM knows marketing
more than they know cars. And the flag-swinging masses accept any wild
claim without question as patriotism dictates. Such as the increasingly
ridiculous Nurburgring claims. Its all aggressive marketing stunts.
Magnetic particles in oil, essentially Ferrofluids, are all very clever.
allows you to change viscosity on the fly by electric current. But as -
The very nature of what they are doing, is called "claiming equality by
association" or Ambush Marketing is the technical term. Look it up on
Wikipedia. Its got nothing to do with hate or conspiracy. Its called...
Marketing. And nobody does it with more aggression and hostility as
americans. They use of a "slower" Ferrari and say "What if we told you...."
its extremely misleading and actually illegal in the real world. But not in
america where that shit hits the hearts of the flagwaving masses.
-This is exactly like when Corvette started using Brembo brakes. GM went to
Brembo in Italy and insisted on getting the SAME brakes as the much older
Enzo. Why? To claim equality to Ferrari by approximation. By using the same
brakes. To borrow some of that Ferrari magic. Then Brembo got listed as a
GM subcontractor and every flag-swinging fanboy in the US started claiming
Ferrari was using GM technology. GM spends more money plannnig their brand
identity than they ever spent BEING competitive.
- the country. Essentially bankrupting the entire state of Michigan as they
moved the last remaining back bone of US manufacturing to Asia. Spending
YOUR taxpayer bailout money. Money that was supposed to secure the future
for US cars and their workers, on creating jobs in China and Korea. And
thats ok because the patriotism card never gets old. Congratulations on
these achievements. And STILL anyone who offers the slightest criticism is
instantly met with OMG.... YOU HATE AMERICA and denial.
Search for Cadillac CTS-V vs Ferrari 458 and see them claiming equality to
the best sportscar in the world. There is nothing repsectful or realistic
about it. No shame. Just FULL of hostility, wild claims and what I refered
to as Ambush Marketing (also has its own Wikipedia article) Cadillac are
fairly open about buying BMWs and using them as targets for their next
models but they are also saying they have to stop making cars that way.
Always playing catchup while BMW still owns the market.
So far as I know they've only explicitly mentioned BMW in antagonistic
fashion with the new ATS. So? That's the target, everyone knows it. (There
was a CTS-V commercial that mentioned BMW and Mercedes but did so
respectfully. And that was a better Nurburgring lap time not just a
straight line, a legitimate achievement with far more development than
dropping in a Corvette motor.) Cadillac is focused on a couple of products
and puts the money, manhours, and materials there, to great effect.
-particles corrode conventional dampeners, they are chrome plated on the
inside which adds another 5 kilos of weight pr wheel in cars that spend
alot of money being light.. And if your car is out of power, you got no
suspension... The patent dates back to a Russia in the 1940s used alot in
heavy industry. Magneride is owned by a Chinese company operating out of
Bejing but forexample Audi got their own system. Contrary to these myths,
Ferrari does NOT knock on GMs door asking permission.
This is what I do. Marketing. And denying how basic marketing works is just
silly. Search for "GM becoming China Motors" right here on Youtube and see
if you can name ONE GM sold in Europe or Asia today that isnt a rebadged
Korean Daewoo. See if you can name ONE internationally competitive US built
GM from this decade or the last. I think reality..... Is a fair bit worse
than you guys are willing to realise. Just ONE internationally competitive
US built car. Come on. Give it your best.
Delphi was not just one of hundreds of subcontractors, they were PART of GM
until spun off just two years before Magneride hit the market. Rage rage
rage you're all alone champ. Nobody believes the ridiculous inferences
you're making to the womblike degree of naivete you're pounding the desk
about. BTW, chrome plating doesn't add 5 Kg, and if you're "out of power"
your shocks simply take a base comfort setting, you don't "got no
suspension." You don't know cars, so quit blithering.
What's selling in Asia? Buick LaCrosse and Park Avenue, Cadillac XTS.
"Internationally competitive" -- we both know you mean "favored by European
journalists." GM sales are doing just fine in the two largest markets in
the world, thank you. No shortage of fans of the CTS-V, btw. We'll see what
folks think of C7... You keep shucking and jiving and changing topics,
hoping to make a point that (a) matters and (b) isn't just screeching
hyperbole. Give up. Nobody else cares.
This 'consolidation' of platforms is going to result in killing off the
last Australian cars, thanks very much GM global platforms. The last Holden
Commodore, once rebadged as Pontiac G8 and now again as the Chevrolet SS,
will be built in 2017, then the plant in Australia betooled for boring
global platforms. And anyone wanting a large RWD sedan will miss out, what
is left in the GM stable, the crappy FWD Malibu? Or under-engineered Opel
Insignia? No thanks.
Great segment Jim - There are so many over-styled, substance-free,
veneer-thin and over baked designs on the market at this point that for
someone to come along with a modern interpretation of simple, angular
Bauhaus minimalism would be a revelation. Audi might have a couple cars
that fit this but the flame surfacing trend started by Bangle has spread
like a weed to just about every design house.
John and Peter: Pretty much all the mainstream automakers are now offering
cars and trucks that can be priced into epithet inducing territory - 35k
Optimas, 36k Escapes, 50k pickups and plenty of 40k+ kid taxis. Would these
prices even be possible if rates and lending standards were at a
historically 'normal' level?
When Corvette ZR1 adopted carbon fiber brakes, they did point out to the
press that they came from the Enzo. But no rational person would use that
fact to claim Ferrari was using GM technology. Nobody jumps to the
conclusion that the ZR1 is exactly like a Ferrari, either. Do you realize
how raving you sound?
Nice show format. Definitely agree with DeLorenzo. Watching Cadillac chase
the Germans for street cred is pointless, and it muddles Cadillac's brand
image. They need to do their own thing, and create new value-propositions
and marketing concepts to shift the market.
I think Cadillac has done a great job turning things around. I would drop
that standard of the world and come up with something new. I love
Cadillac's line up and the cars can truly compete. Not every German car is
perfect and many are overrated. Go Caddy go!!!!!
Thank you for introducing a couple Mercosur Chevrolet to the US public. I'm
sure most people outside Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay had never
seen or heard of them before. And of course it was great to see both Jim
and Peter segments on the same Daily!
I have to agree with you about Cadillac. Why should it worry about what
Audi and BMW are doing. I can tell you that most of the people that have
always bought Cadillacs here in the USA don't car what BMW and Audi are
doing. They are going to buy a Cadillac.
Check the scrolls, mate, you declared war here. Better than BMW at half the
price? Screeching hyperbole from the beginning. And beautiful irony. Keep
droning on, you're only looking less rational and more like the straw
Americans you're inventing.
GM is manufacturing in Asia *for* Asia, and still has lots of manufacturing
in the US. And your posts are anything but "the slightest criticism." Your
level of denial and hypocrisy is a stunning achievement. Where do you go
from here?
BS. Quote the line in the add where they claim EQUALITY. They point out
that the two cars use the same suspension technology, and Cadillac had it
first. Your hatred has you foaming at the mouth and completely unable to
see reality.
Fear not, Cadillac. It's not that you'll never be considered as good as the
German and Japanese luxury makers. It's just that it takes a generation or
two (human, not auto) of being independently excellent to build that
reputation.
Cadillac Puts Hold on ATS Coupe - Wide Open Throttle Episode 1
On the premiere episode of Wide Open Throttle, Jessi Lang brings you the latest on Cadillac's decision to suspend ATS Coupe development, the cutting-edge ...
@thedenimvault Clearly your a Fucking Dumbass since Iam not one of her fake
accounts retard look up my Youtube profile I have had this simce 2008
retard. Second your clearly Fucking Fag Bitch ass what type of guy judges a
girls hair not to mention One who is as Beuatiful and Gorgeous as she and
looks like a Blonde Jessica Beil who is only one of the Hottest Women on
the face of the earth. All of what you said nd will ever say doesnt mean
jack fuckin shit. Go back to being the gay ass fuck youare
@DanFrederiksen keep your stupid negativity to your sad self ! the
chrysler/eminem spot your were ranting about was quite unique and
inspiring, as a matter of fact AUDI blatantly copied from it and got sued
by Chrysler,they lost and had to pull the ad.so much for your information !
next time before you speak make sure you don't make a fool of yourself by
missing vital information, you are just bashing. my general advice to you,
just don't go to things you don't like ! greetings from germany.
To the Writers at Motor Trend and anyone else involved the writng for WOT
You have done a great job at Getting the Beautiful Talented Amazing Jessi
Lang. Now you have to work on creating WOT for what it should be ment for
and you are really wasting Jessi Langs Amazing Automotive Knowlegable
Talents and her Driving talent on New anchor style show. With a name like
WOT you really should not have the Anchor Desk job style at all. Jessi
deserves to show off here Amaizing abilites.
Caddy delaying an ATS Coupe, wagon, or Convertible. As a serious global
luxury brand, anything but rescheduling product is a bad move. To compete,
you have to at least do most of what the competition is doing at least as
well to tie and better to win. The CTS Coupe came a bit after the current
CTS. I think the CTS Wagon is/would be stronger in Europe than the US. Also
Diesel! Going Global means US sells isn't the only factor and so justifying
more and varied product.
...Cars take years to go from planning to production. For a GM executive to
say the company doesn't know how it will execute its plan to roll out
variants of the ATS at this point in time clearly suggests that while the
variants may have been planned, and even designed and ready for production,
the decision as to when it will launch those variants is still up in the
air. We said the ATS coupe is on hold. Nothing David Caldwell has said
contravenes that statement.
@MysticCobra04 LOL at your comments, why you spam the whole page with
garbage? clearly you're on of jessie lang fake accounts. sense of humor?
WHERE she's BORING and stiff as a board and looks like she's going to cry.
not to mention that skanky blonde hair that she can't afford to color the
roots and she looks like she's 35 years old which is way too old. she
should go back to reviewing wrxs and honda fits for roadfly, she obviously
can't handle the big leagues.
I've came to the conclusion that GM likes playing the bluffing game.
Remember statements from them saying the ATS and XTS wouldn't be
competitive? Remember they said the ATS would weigh 3600lbs and they were
having "mass issues" with the platform? Hahaha! I bet we see every variant.
Why else would Cadillac spend so much time in green hell only to NOT get
the most out of the platform? I see a alpha X1/X3 rival crossover coming
too! ARX (like SRX) anyone?!
@motortrend oh, i hadn't seen this response. thanks for responding. my
point is that what excited me about your search for the next WOT presenter,
now 2 months ago was that Angus said the magic word that has been missing
from your videos since I started watching them on the ipad edition and
here, passion. He said it, I didn't. So I was looking for passion
specifically from WOT. I'm seeing glimpses of passion and excitement here
and there, keep it up.
Actually the Autoblog headline is slightly misleading. In Autoblog's story
Cadillac's David Caldwell neither confirms nor denies our piece, commenting
only that "there has been no recent radical shift in strategy" and that
"on either end of the spectrum the reporting is inaccurate". Caldwell says
Cadillac will do variants, but admits "we haven't yet called our shot of
how we're going to execute that"... (cont)
She has real Automotive Passion for the info and driving on top of the Fact
that she is a Beautiful Gorgeous High performance Car Girl that has amazing
sense of humor along with everything that qualifies to be an automotive
journalist. Her skills surpass all expectation for this type of job.. And
We all want to see her behind the wheel of the All the High Proformance
cars Motor Trend recieves for testing
to be blunt for caddy to compete with eurobrands it will need a less
american meaning bad design. that clumsy unsophisticated look where you
can't forget that half of USA drives pickup trucks and thinks global
warming is something Al Gore made up. when the people of USA are dumb
enough to think that Eminem is a symbol of class (chrysler 200 ad) there is
a raging need for change.
I think i'll be just fine, you on the other hand, like skank ass hoes with
fake ass blonde hair and black roots that lack the basic social skills
required to make shitty youtube videos. i'd tell you to get some fucking
taste, but good taste is inherited, while you go home to some ugly skank
shemale and probably drive a wrong wheel drive spivic! now die in a fire
FAGGOT
@drivingsports Ryan, all I'm saying is think back to the first time you
appeared on a new program or in a new format. Was it perfect? Did it get
better with time? We're still new to the format (relative to print),
especially now that we're putting up daily content, but I have full faith
and confidence in our team. Thanks for watching.
@MysticCobra04 hahaha dumb ass beaner. you think jessica beil is hot? she
looks like a man, just like jessica lannge LOL you know what they say all
jessica's are dumb as fuck and being FAKE BLONDE doesn't help. so go suck a
dick you pathetic faggot, you have NASTY ass taste in women bitch. fucking
homo
@V8Supercar1 I get what you're saying, but when I watch a show, I want to
be entertained. For factual information I'll scan the charts in the
magazines (which is why I subscribe to all four). But if I'm spending my
free time to watch something, I want it to be somewhat entertaining. Just
my opinion.
@thedenimvault You have just proven your are flaming gay homo fag with all
your statements you got some real sick problems in your head if you think
Jessica Beil looks like a man Go run your self into the next oncoming Semi
and make sure you you aim for the wheels so you die a slow deserved death
@whistleorblue Are you serious? Why is okay for you to post your useless
comment about nothing. My comment about Jessie was positive. I could
understand you responding if it were negative in anyway. If you find
comments such as mine annoying skip and read the next one.
poor Jessi. she needs to be standing up with her whole body in the frame
and wearing something tight. what kind of idiots at motortrend made her
wear this stupid suit and hunch over this stupid desk ? what's next - will
they force her to present from a wheelchair ?
Hey, I'm glad you are here, you have lots of information I am very
interested in....but please step it up a notch, that was the longest 8 min
of my life...stop trying to be a polished show and focus on being
yourselves...it will be wayyyyy more entertaining...
umm, the ATS "news" is not true, (as per GM/Cadillac Div. itself!) as is
the 2.8 sec 0-60 time of the porsche turbo, also not true :D other than
claims i never saw that anywhere in the real world , someone has yet to
prove it. anyways. cheers from germany.
Jessie on a car show again. What went down with roadfly jessie? Are you
ever going to do the review again? And those guys at the motortrend really
suck with their media dept IMHO. They are not fun. Cars are supposed to be
fun. You were fun before Jessie.
@hankaaron223 Thanks for the feedback. We'll have one more episode this
Thursday in this original style and format, and then you'll see some
stylistic changes and refinements starting in Episode 3. We think you'll
enjoy the iteration. Stay tuned!
Not To mention that Jessi Lang serioulsy with out a doubt looks like a
Blond Jessica Beil and Jessica Beil is very much one of the Hottest Women
in the World But Jessi is just that much hotter because of her Passion for
Cars and Car Knowledge
By far the show that looks too forced and unnatural. The music is so
generic, reminding me of a fake news show especially with the green screen
in the background. All the others shows are very good though.
glad ur back, Jessi!......but I gotta say, this first episode
sucks.......where's the personality that we saw from ur videos on
RoadflyTV?.....did motortrend tell you to be more like a news anchor?
I'm disappointed in you guys. The rumors about GM scraping the ATS coupe
and even the other ATS' is just not true. I cant post the link here but
check out autoblog for FACTS about this story.
@edwardploh Some of us do know how "hard" this is, and still expected
something better from a name (and backing) like Motor Trend. Jessi was good
on Roadfly, but here - meh.
