OT: American Car Manufacturers

Who has the Feb. 2002 copy of Car & Driver?

Page 64: One awesome car (Cadillac Cien, for those of you who don't have it). The problem? It's not going to be made. I dont' get it...Cadillac wants to build a sports car image, but they don't want to build a kick *** supercar that would give them a big hand in creating that image.

I imagine that if they did make it, they would make little/no money on it? Maybe they'd lose some money? But hell, Cadillac would gain my respect for having ***** and producing a kick *** car!

Toyota has it's Supra (not really a supercar, but a true sports car).
Honda has it's NSX (supercar?).
Nissan has it's Skyline GTR Spec-V (upcoming GTR).
Ford has it's GT-40 and the Aston Martin Vanquish.
Chevy has the Corvette.
VW/Bugatti Veyron.
Etc., etc., etc.

By NOT producing this car, Cadillac leaves me with a feeling that they're all talk and no walk!

That's GM for ya, they produce the ugly CTS and don't produce the Cien. They may not make money off it if they produce it, but it would do things for their image that no normal car could do..
