I'm not feelin' these as much others are. I can see the idea they were trying to get at but the execution is bad. The ads look like incomplete pieces that were released too early.The desert wasteland scenery is pretty desolate and doesn't evoke the sense of luxury. Doing this in a city, on a bridge or even changing the scenery for each car switch would've been better. The evolution of the cars could've also been a lot more smooth and impressive. Others have mentioned the Chevy Silverado's transforming intro on it's website and I believe Caddy should've gone that route. The transforming would've provided a much smoother transition between each car and would also be amusing to watch. It also wouldn't look so cheap and choppy. Come on it's Cadillac you don't want your ads looking like they were made by freshman college kids. I also couldn't find any reason between the different camera angles chosen. Why is the camera going all over the place in this thing? There's no real message in the ads except showing off years of historic Caddy cars. There's nothing to take away from the spot after you've watched it. You just think "Oh, Cadillac." It doesn't say luxury, or performance or anything, just tells you that Cadillac has been around since 1902. Yay. Could've done better guys, the "Heart", and "Crest" spots were much more aligned with what Cadillac wants its image to be imo.

Hope Edmunds' gets some good impressions from it over the next year. The interior upgrade is a major plus for the car, and I think it's one of the best implementations of the Cadillac brand styling since the XLR.

I also like the design but it's just showing up on too many cars in too many different price ranges which is the truly annoying part. Especially if say the unit is placed in a 30k car and then you happen to jump into a Cobalt and notice it has the exact same looking radio. Boy that sure shows how special your new 30 grand car truly is doesn't it? It's not that big of a deal, but it's starting to grow into an epidemic of GM corporate radios sprouting up in all sorts of vehicles which detracts from the uniqueness of each car.

Maybe in your eyes a mess, I love it. The marble could be better though, but it's definitely unique and if that were on the market right now it might create buzz about Cadillac having more style and creativity in them than they do now.

Putting all those units together makes them look so much worse than separated heh.

Wow the front end just decided to disintegrate on that one.

*sigh* I assumed so. But I was hoping we wouldn't get the standard parts bin center console unit again.

Same immediate thought I had. Although...I kinda like the interior. It's different and the diamond tuck is well...so Cadillac hah. It's kind of rather reminiscent of the 70's Caddys to me.

The black center console is much more appealing to the eye than the silver faced one imo. If only the rest of the interior matched up with that face. Maybe if the black is paired up with the upper level trims with the tan interior and wood. Just noticed, even the steering wheel trim is matched with the center console, nice touch.

I agree with Edmunds on this one. The Aveo is a good car, but the competition has arrived and now here comes the test of how well this little car will hold up in marketshare. The powertrain and mileage is what really is the lowest point of the car. The Accord 5spd 4cyl gets the same mileage as the Aveo, 26/34. The Accord automatic just rated 2 mpg less for city. It's a subcompact and should really be getting at least 30mpg rating for city. That's why the Aveo will probably lose ground compared to the Fit, Versa and Yaris. The ABS comment was kind of stupid, there ARE cars out there that don't have ABS. They did point out that if the car had ABS, it would've stopped a heck of a lot better.

Underrate? Seriously? This thing isn't going to be a beast, it's going to be the monster that ate the beast then asked for seconds.

Why does thou tease us so?

hah I never heard anything about that and I live just 3 miles away. Heck I drive by that thing everyday.

There's one down here in Dallas that lives close by because I always see it at the same grocery store.

Link Overall a favorable review, that ambient amber lighting looks smooth.

Hm I was thinking about 27k too for the Acadia, 30k seems like its eating in the Enclave sorta. Granted I fully expect the base Enclave to be at least 32-35k so maybe it's not too bad. I like how the Acadia gets the same gas mileage as the Torrent and Equinox despite its engine size and output. If the gas mileage for the Torrent wasn't so bad, I would actually recommend one of those things as I like everything else about it.

XD that video with the tug of war is awesome.

Wow this topic was a roller coaster. My opinion hasn't changed about the car, I still love everything inside and outside about the MDX. I think it features an awesome interior and a rather distinctive exterior(at least coming from the front). As for Acura, I'll echo a few statements here and say that they are a definitely a great value and have good quality cars. If you really care about bragging rights over the logo on the keychain you're holding, you're better off heading over to the BMW or MB dealer.

I've always hated the look of that car. I'll take an Accord coupe or G6 sedan any day. The coupe version of the G6 reminds me too much of that Solara.

That tan is so less depressing and generic looking than the Black. Still love the the thing

A mitsu electric car eh...I'll take something else. Being a mitsubishi, something might go wrong and I fear I'd end up like this

Gotta admit, that thing is damn practical and it ain't half bad looking either. We've been looking at the HHR as a Home Depot runner for the family, maybe we should go a little more hardcore and get the Panel version hah.

Wow that body colored grille is definitely a kicker. Who knew such a simple change would modify the truck's attractiveness so much...

sorry but that pic is damn funny.

For some reason when you said friendly, I suddenly pictured Mr. Rodgers next to his new friend, the 2007 Chevy Silverado...parked inside his house.
