GM seriously needs to "REVAMP" Their model line up.... They keep insisting that they are going to drastically change their design ques, engines, and car line ups... But in all honesty it appears to me that they keep prodding in the same direction.

OVER the top chrome.. Horrible build interior build quality.. and ridiculiously angular designs.

I personally would LOVE to see an american automaker compete and prosper in the luxury segment, but with this management in place I seriously don't see how they can even come close to anything other automakers like Infiniti, lexus, acura, BMW, Merc, audi, ect have to offer. They need to start producing well rounded autos. Not just a peice of plastic with a huge fucking N/A V8 mounted in it surrounded by some chrome.

Do something out of the box GM.. Stop taking ques from others.

The CTS-V? Yes, i'd seriously consider it. I had a friend with a V6 CTS and he said it was rattling itself apart, so that's disappointing. But I like the idea of Caddy trying to build an M5 killer with the Z06 drivetrain in it. That's a solid recipie and if they can figure out how to build a chassis and an interior then they've probably got a winner on their hands.

I wanted to get excited about the G8 GXP but I just didn't. And the G8 program only offers a stick with the big ass V8 in it. And it's stupid expensive. You can always get a used german vehicle for less than a new American one, with equivalent or better performance/features/whatever, and it will retain its value considerably better.

The US car business model just isn't for me. I won't ever buy a car off the lot unless they just happen to have exactly what I would have built myself, and I will never buy a car "today", ever. But BillyBob motors is always trying to convince you to compromise on what you want and buy something out of inventory that second.

I don't think I can ever buy a GM product now anyway... Government Motors? No thanks.
