Description: Although it generated solid reviews at the time, it seemed unlikely that GM would put such a car into production. Fast forward a few years and it makes more sense than ever for the automaker to make ...

That's true those reliability reports have even noted where the average number of cars in need of repair more than 50 times in their first year lowered from 127 per car to about 80 per car.
Every car company has improved over the last couple years. Which is great because more competition!
And for the record Nissan has done a great job on the lead and the quality of their vehicles since they went through their own financial turnaround. If America supported the car industry like Japan does, GM, Ford, and Chrysler would have never been
And going off of what Patrick said about the Leaf. I agree not practical and yes I think the Volt is more practical.
My 2004 Alero is smoother, and has given me less problems than the 2005 Camry I had, the 2000 Altima I have had, and the 2006 Sebring I owned. I guess I just find all the lemons other manufacturers put out.
If you don't like American cars then that's fine. I like Americans cars AND some foreign cars. American cars are stepping up their game and if you want some foreign car by all means go for it no one is stopping you.
As for quality, Buick, Cadillac, and yes even Oldsmobile have been in the top five of JD powers long term dependability report for quite some time now.
My fanboyism is at least grounded in factual reports from trusted sources. JD power, consumer reports and the like all say GM is the best at the moment. At least GM isn't practically owned by an Italian company. Those tax dollars are Euros now.
Dressing their cars up to blind customers. But real quality last. And my Nissan is real quality. As well as all nissans.
Have driven a 2009 cts w 40k miles, and my personal 2003 maxima with 95k miles, my Nissan is smoother, sportier and no rattles. The caddy rattled and was extremely bumpy and lacked power. And I was driving the 3.6 Di. So maybe caddy can win with
Government/ American people, If that's my tax dollars I say they should be producing the best vehicles on the road by now, not doing the minimum like they've always done.
There's nothing wrong with American cars right now, just GM products. They are barely getting by like they have been doing for the past 16 years. And your fanboyism shows how blind and ignorant you are to the truth. GM got money from the
Your comment about the unlimited funds also shows how ignorant you truly are about the state of American cars, so I'm bowing out.
And if you get to use the Impala I'd gladly compare it to the previous gen Avalon, they were actually on par
Compare a new Cruze and a new Corolla, the Corolla came in dead last in the last comparo it was in.
Sure, compare two USED cars. Who knows how they were taken care of. Compare a new cts to a maxima. I have been lucky enough to drive both and I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised with the caddy. Both in how it drives and in the interior
We all know the Impala is a turd. Every manufacturer has them. Nissan has the Cube. Honda has the Civic. And Toyota has everything that they make.
Drive a 2011 impala, then test drive a 2011 maxima. Nissan wins hands down. The impala was already squeaking when I pulled off the lot. It was a used car, but it only had 10,000 miles on the odometer.I haven't wanted to test the Toyota. Looks boring.
Where are you getting this poor quality thing from? It's no longer 1991. GM has put out some really nice stuff the past few years. Drive a brand new CTS and then drive a Toyota or Nissan. Then come back and say GM is lacking on quality.
I know right, bad quality and they are still the number one selling car company in the world, people must be dumb or something. Camaro is probably the only GM product I would buy, but that's because it an American icon.
Haha well they WERE the top selling auto manufacturer in the world last year, so I'd say they are doing something right.
Unlimited cash flow from the government? That's not exactly how it works
I'm just saying, if they have an unlimited money cash-flow from the government, shouldn't they not have ANY problems with their vehicles conceived while owned by the government. They should be at the top of the quality charts by now.
David then you should criticize the problems that are real not inflated by the media. And at least if you buy a GMC Sierra you wouldn't have to worry about the tailgate falling off if you and a friend sat on it like when the Tundra was released.
The Nissan Leaf goes like less than 100 miles. When it's actually practical, then give me a call. It takes 12 hours to charge using a 115/120 outlet.
And I don't hate GM, I actually used to only want GM products, but they need to get their head out of their asses and get with the program, This is NOT hating, It's constructive criticism!
Did Nissan have any leaf problems, No, because they built their car with quality. 3rd of all, when does a GM product EVER make a car with more quality then Toyota or Nissan, never.
1st of all, ALL lithium-ion batteries are flammable if punctured or get too hot. 2nd of all, if GM did the right thing, they would of spent more money on quality the first time instead of a recall
I don't see why people are complaining about the Volt. Yes it's a bit overprice but compared to the Leaf or a Prius? The Volt has better quality. And if Cad released this, it'd be a smart Move on their part.
And they did the right thing and bought back the Volts from the people who ignored the facts. If you hate GM so much just ignore their articles.
@David the actual people who get paid to determine if the batteries are flammable, said that the Volt is no more flammable than any other car. The fire was determined to be an electrical problem separate from the battery's.
I would rather see this as a four door, rather than a 2 door. I don't think they will sell many coupes, but I could see a sedan working
Now their losing money on the volt, which is what they deserve for being cheap liars who robbed the US people.
Facts are right about the fires. ALL lith-ion batteries of large size are flammable, GM built a shitty casing around the battery to save money/ more profit. Now GM is paying for their stupidity and had to fix all Volts sold.
I hate there solid grills that've been putting on their electrics. It just looks pointless and out of place
At least give people the option for a 6.2 or maybe 7.0 liter for this good looking car
http://www.forbes.com/sites/joannmuller/2012/01/20/government-ends-probe-into-chevy-volt-fires/ At least get your facts straight about the fires.
Looks like a rebadged/regrilled Pontiac G6 with an oversized flammable battery. If this car goes into production, and it cost more than the volts $40,000, I think GM is setting Cadillac up for failure.
Cadillac is awesome now.... Lol. Such badass cars with aggressive designs.
I watched a small info vid on the XTS and it is AWESOME. I really hope Caddy makes the Ciel though. That thing is amazing.
The ATS (3 series competitor) and the XTS (at best a Lincoln MKS competitor, minus ecoboosted). The ATS is worth the hype, the XTS will be a gussied up Impala, love GM but thems the facts.
Probably so. However, they have two sedans coming out shortly do they not ?
Thank God! They said they weren't making the coupe, then they did. They said they weren't making the wagon, then they did. Then they weren't making the V versions of those, and they did. I see a theme..
