Grandpa would have a heart attack and M3 fan boys wouldn't be caught dead in a Buick. At least not yet. Cadillac had a reputation for being an old man's car, but look what Hennessey is doing with the V Series cars, and look what the V cars themselves are like. It took a while, but Caddy has really come around to where the rest of the world, and car enthusiasts in general, are really taking notice.
I agree with you Mike. This might be their strategy. I don't think they would be successful if they went full blown initially.
