This is not a good example. Why do they think it's a good idea to build a 40 grand family car for the general public? There are other people who drive cars besides the rich.
What's up with building a fast Caddy anyway? It's like this. The masses couldn't afford a Camaro or TA. Maybe the older gens who had saved money for years to waste on cars could. The younger generation who would love to have them, couldn't afford to drive one. Even if they could swing the payments, insurance would kill them. So they were sold to the middle age folks. Not many middle aged folks wanted sports cars, or at least the Camaro or TA types of cars. So, GM starts thinking, here's what we do. We'll build a fast, sports Caddy. This will make the middle aged family car types buy these things. You know, the ones who can actually afford to pay 40 grand for something to drive everyday.
Again, bean counters at work for GM.
And yes, they are selling out for beans.
