GM to move Cadillac brand to New York City

[poobert]

When I look at what Tesla, VW, Google, and others are doing with cars in California, one gets the sense that California is leading in innovation. That's not, I'd say, a good sign for Detroit.

You know, it is nice to have some perspective. The same provincial fanatics around here I'm sure were the same people in the 1980's who had bumper stickers that said "Assholes Drive Imports" while their GM vehicle had beer bottles and dead fish in the door panels. You go out around here and feel like you're seconds away from someone screaming "BURN THE WITCH!"

I drive a Cadillac myself and am certainly proud of local and American products, but they need to be innovative and stand on their own right.

NYC is an astounding place and I think they'll find some special talent.

I'd expect a bit more support at least since back in the good old days the GP blue bloods used to faithfully ape the east coast aristocracy. It seems perhaps over the years they've married their cousins a few too many times and become a bit...frumpy.
