riviera74 replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)One question: where is the Cadillac equivalent?

I need to see what else comes out of this in March. This is at best a partial victory.

Just have Cadillac Korea do all the marketing instead. GM USA marketing is lame.

It cannot be named Corvette. Now a Cadillac that competes with the Cayenne is a great idea.

Works for me. Zero is ideal, but I can work with 2.5%

Call me when China cuts their auto tariffs to zero, then we will talk. Potus 45 is not doing enough to tell mercantile China to embrace free trade; it seems that he wants to practice mercantilism himself.

Toyota makes relatively few Tundras compared to demand for them, hence the high resale value. Ditto for Tacoma. Toyota knows that the RAV4 and the Venza and Highlander are rolling in sales and profits, right? They can slash Camry and Yaris and Corolla production and make more $$$$ right now if they wanted to. RAV4 is the highest-selling (non-BOF) vehicle on the road right now.

When it comes to EVs, infrastructure is a real issue. Only Tesla seems to have put much thought into charging infrastructure.

Here maybe, but elsewhere in the world Hyundai/KIA fits right in.

Maybe because GM and Ford are not part of very large conglomerates, well-shielded from imports in the domestic market. It is easy to forget that Hyundai/KIA are part of a larger Korean chaebol that can push something to the nth degree because Hyundai is SO WELL protected at home and is a larger conglomerate than GM ever was (even in the 1950s). In Korea, Hyundai makes all sorts of consumer products that GM has not made since GM sold off Frigidaire years ago. Some Koreans are very loyal to Hyundai or Samsung or LG back in South Korea. Because of that (Japan has this too), it is very easy to take on risks that a smaller, less diversified corporation like GM or Ford simply do not take.

You also have to remember that GM and Ford are much larger than Chrysler ever was. GM should call FCA and sell them an idled factory after FCA gets this one converted.

Actually, it is worse than that. It seems that Millennials would rather live in cities and take public transportation instead of driving a car. If you look at who is buying (or leasing) CUVs, most buyers are past 40 not under 25.
