      Cypress Thunder since ive been alive we have had 6 GM’s, arguably 7, possibly 8. 4 buicks, all company cars that got thrashed and worked flawlessly when my dad turned them in because the lease was up. My moms car, a 2004 yukon, well we bought it new and it still gets daily driven. Then theres my dads 2016 terrain. No problems so far, he’s almost had it for 3 years. Then there the 09 vibe which was a complete piece of shit(it wasnt a gm car though), and the 8th one well my 01 isuzu trooper, which i bought off a friend years ago but at the time it was sold GM had a 51% stake in isuzu. A lot of the electronics under the hood were delphi(GM) and theyve lasted 19 years. The parts that have failed were japanese or german, like the starter and the abs pump. They’re reliable in my book

But by leaving it with a premium sticker, Cadillac is saying that it is comporable to other vehicles with the same price tag; the Navigator Black Label. Which, it is not. Caddy either needs to cut the price by 25% or do a ground up redesign.
