I think in NA GM still thinks luxury buyers have never seen an Audi, MB or BMW interior. Or, worse, that buyers have never been to Europe and driven an Opel. Even the interiors in the Saturns that are based on Opels but built here are crappy. Exactly! I think in NA GM still thinks luxury buyers have never seen an Audi, MB or BMW interior.

This is worrying because GM has the capability from its other units (e.g. Opel, which does pretty good interiors now) and yet it seems it does not coordinate its knowledge across the corporation. The Japanese get this part right, too. I got to this page thanks to my friend Robin Capper, who has already commented.

"Close" doesn't cut it at the prices GM is asking for these cars. They aren't value-priced. The CTS I test drove had $15K of options on it. You could get a nicely equipped 5 Series (OK, a 528i not a 535i) or an A6 for that. And, even when the New England winter, traffic and parking-lot door-dingers have turned the outside of that car into an embarrassment, you'd still have a gorgeous interior to enjoy.

While better they are nowhere near the BMW/Audi standards they claim, and must compete with. I recently saw the new Caddys in Vegas.
