GM: I can haz moar moneyz?

GMAC is looking for another $5.6 billion in bailouts from the Feds.  This is of course on top of the $13.5 billion they got in earlier bailouts, and the bailouts for GM itself.  This line from the article is special,

A lack of leasing options is already being blamed for much of Cadillac's 44 percent drop in sales during the first nine months of this year.


Yeah, can't be that Cadillac is a luxury brand, the economy has cratered, and dozens of profitable Cadillac dealerships were forcefully closed...not. a. chance.  Sorry, I'm a little pissy about what's happening to Cadillac.  I've always been a Cadillac fan, even as a kid when everyone else was drooling over that Fast and Furious shit.

1 Gov't Motors pissed off the people who buy their cars.
Lefties buy imports, rich lefties buy EUroPOSes.
American is so bourgeois and Caddy is a symbol of everything that's wrong with America (to leftist douchetools).


I will say that Caddy is making what I think is the most desirable American car today, the XLR. It's a luxury Vette.
I have a Mustang GT convertible and there's no other car I like better except the XLR. That's one bad mo-fo and I would consider not having a back seat (screw the dog) for that beauty.

Most of the Caddies are nice, so if people aren't buying them there's a reason.

I would say there's three reasons.
High dollar cars are tougher when everybody's worried about Obama destroying our economy.
People are angry at Gov't Motors
and the great Destruction of Wealth program (my Cash for Your Clunker) probably didn't cover Caddies.

It's funny how often leftists are blindsided by reality.
Actually, it would be funny if they weren't in charge of everything, as it is, it's mostly endy.

2 My parents have a CTS, they bought it just before the economic shitstorm at the end of Bush's term.  It's an awesome car.

3 My dad a Cadillac DeVille. Awesomest car ever. I have only seen the man choke up twice in my life: when my brother deployed to Iraq, and when that car died on him.

5 to follow up:  we are fortunate enough to have a household income that would allow us to buy anything up to a mercedes.  And I'd rather buy a fucking YOUGO than the highest end GM vehicle ever made.

I'd rather bike to work.  Fuck it, I'd walk.  FUCK YOU GM.

Tagonine...can you tell us how you really feel? I think you beat around the bush too much...

But I agree... I would buy a GM car like I would buy an Amtrak ticket...not even with someone else's money...

The Car Czar closed 2 of the 3 GM dealerships in my area - they kept the crappiest one of the bunch. One now only sells used cars, the other is an empty lot growing weeds now.
