GM coming back to Aus

[Dodgy_Davo]

Saw this interesting article this morning about GM apparently gearing up to sell EV's in Australia under the Caddy brand

Will be interesting to see how the showroom strategy goes .. and whether they would use the existing GMSV/Holden servicing network

Check out the 55 inch screen/dash in the Escalade IQ

Only if I won it.

Only if I won it.

....and then only to sell it!

Are they selling matching toilet paper with GM written on it? I’d be buying it from their Sharts and Servicing dept?

I bet it would be a bit cheap and rough, hurting our arses just like they did last time.

If they are going to be sold in shopping centres, it will be appropriate if they are located in the same area as KFC, Maccas and the other junk food distributors, or in the Reject Shop clearance bins.

Maybe in 25 years time, beyond living memory and when the hate has dissipated ......... , maybe.

55”screen?

As if people weren’t distracted enough via their phones….
As if current electronics are robust enough within the heat of our summer...
As if a 55” TFT screens will live long within yje heat of our summer…
As if “technicians” will have the skill to diagnose and repair these computers on wheels…
As if it will be reasonable priced to repair these computers on wheels…
As if I’d be interested in jumping on GM’s subscription model that such will also t certainly have…

As if i can forget how the Holden brand was tossed to the curb as it it was rubbish day…
As if I can forget how GM bled our government of 100’s of millions during the last years…

As if people have forgotten how the dealer network was shafted and tossed to the street.
As if people have forgotten how parts prices have increase while vehicle servicing has become more difficult.

As if I can overlook the ginormous overweigh POS with a high price premium that Cadillac is…

As if, I’d be dumb enough to forget and buy a GM product… because it’s branded Cadillac…

Hard pass.

Have you tried therapy?

Have you tried therapy?

Yes but they said I was a Holden tragic and couldn’t be helped
