However if the price is right. Throw $10K-$20K in the trunk of these cars and they look better.
I'm not trying to say the cars are equal, but look at the Ford Five Hundred. AWD, full size, V6 under $28K. Then look at mid-size, V6, AWD cars from Acura, Infiniti, Lexus, Audi, etc.. for $50K. That's really half price for the Ford b/c you could get them for $25K.
I know Ford is not Caddy, and the price of caddys are right up there with the imports.
Ford says (and I'm sure GM says too) they want to build cars that sell without discounts. I say dream on. GM is better at marketing than they are at building cars. I mean an Arosmith songs for a Buick? Um, can't wait till they start playing a Megadeath song for the DTS.
However I do think the domestics are better then ever. I drove a chrysler 300 not bad, and the new Explorer has a nice enough interior. Bottom line the domestics are probably where the imports were 10 years ago and that's not too bad.

Only the marketing dept for Cadillac has a decent handle on things. But I am sick of hearing Led Zeppelin all the time.
GM's current schtick is to take a "classic rock" song that supposedly, when matched visually to a car, imbues that car with American rebel-ness and flair. It's a very naive, 1st-yr marketing grad tool, and one that other companies, car or otherwise, have been using for years.
