Expectations of luxury cars DO mean the Cadillac has failed every time they try to market themselves in Europe.
It may be old prejudice for some of the tanks built in the 60-70-80s which wouldn't fit in European towns !
OR, it may be we have a higher expectation of handling in luxury cars. Having driven in lots of different cars in the States ( and Canada ) I have to say they were WAY below what I considered safe and acceptable handling. Soft and bouncy and floaty and "comfortabel" yes, but FEELING comfortable driving it - definately NO. ( My worst experience was in the 80s driving a Z28. I couldn't belive how vague the steering got above 60mph and the rep was unimpressed when I took it back and told him so. I try to get Taurus coz it's OK, but often end up with 'upgrades for valued customer' and in a pimp-mobile :-( )
Whatever reason they just AREN'T considered luxury.
Would you buy a Hotpoint washing machine over a Maytag ? Same reasons probably apply.
