thats the problem though. Cadillac represents the best of what American Luxury (and slowly getting into preformance) cars are.
A cadillac priced to compete with Neons/ Nissans / Chevy Cobalts etc. would tarnish the name of being the "standard of the world". Why build a cheap Cadillac when the cheap chevy is fine with its name.
Now if you wanted to say cadillac should make a luxury car to fill that small form factor niche then I could see it because it wouldn't really be competeing with them because its more expensive and offers probibly a bigger engine better materials, leather. Stuff you couldn't get on the lower end models.
29,999 for the CTS is very low for an entry luxury sedan. And what comes of it? People complaining of cheap dash and cheap this, well cadillac had to cut the corners somewhere to sell that at that price (especially with all the money they put into that platform at the Nurburgring.)
One the plus side Cadillac reps are saying that with each new model interiors will be getting better and better
