Herman Cain, Kim Kardassian — Taking a Cadillac moment

Two very disparate news items this week, one about Herman Cain as a Presidential candidate dealing with a story from his past, and one about Kim Kardassian and her recently announced premature footnote to her celebutante wedding.  Both these developing stories however strike me as situations which could have benefited (and may still benefit)  from taking a moment to reflect.

That’s what I like about driving a Cadillac, even with the performance V Series model I enjoy as a daily driver.  It gives me some quiet time on the way about my day.  I try not to have the sort of stresses that Mr Cain or Ms Kardassian seek out, but I still find that I need some isolation from the day to day noise and traffic.  Nothing does that better than surrounding yourself with sculpted wood and leather with the surety of precision machinery.

What is a Cadillac moment?  To me a Cadillac moment is that opportunity to listen to cool jazz or the latest pop tune while cruising along to my destination and enjoying the journey.  Taking a Cadillac moment means instead of responding to the latest stress unprepared or off the cuff, taking a moment to reflect on the context and impact of the issue and of your response, and gaining some perspective.

Things that seem an unfair attack on your campaign at first, can get better or worse in terms of perspective depending on your response.  Your response helps to define the issue.

When you meet and date and marry someone, especially if you choose to do so in a very elaborate, public, televised manner, there are probably multiple points which could benefit from a moment of reflection.  Is this someone I want to spend my life with?  Is this someone that I can go through thick and thin with?

Stress is not what happens to you, it is how you respond to what happens to you.   When you do have something(s) come up in your life, take a Cadillac moment and attempt to gain some perspective before you respond.    You will certainly in the long run be glad you did.

Living the Cadillac lifestyle includes keeping a lot of perspective.

When you know the difference, you want a Cadillac

Even the most basic of automobiles provides fundamental transportation, perhaps with varying results in reliability.

However, to coin a phrase,

Life is too short to drive a crappy car.

I have owned and driven very minimalist cars, and I have owned and driven feature rich luxury cars.  I prefer luxury automobiles because I recognize that there is a difference, and  appreciate the difference.

I would not suggest that anyone spend beyond their means for an automobile.  We all need to spend less than we ‘make’, and one’s automobile tastes also have to fit into one’s budget.

Given the opportunity and means however, I am drawn to a vehicle that is sporty and luxurious.

The current Cadillac line plays right into this field — want more SPORTY?  Go with the V-Series.  Want more LUXURY? Go with the Platinum Models.  Want a good mix of sporty, luxury, and economy?  Look for options on the standard Cadillac models.

Yes, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus all make luxury cars as well.  However, the more time I spend with Cadillac automobiles and the better I understand the care and engineering that goes into the Cadillac line the less likely I am to purchase a competitor.    I have driven the competition back to back with Cadillac models.  I was glad I drove home in a Cadillac.

The Best Cadillac

The BEST Cadillac is the one that fits your lifestyle.

Some Cadillac Drivers are all about having the fastest sedan in the world, and the Cadillac CTS-V fits.

Other Cadillac Drivers need luxury and performance and to carry 7, or to tow, or to occasionally get offroad to survey land, and the Escalade family is the best choice.

Some Cadillac Drivers want to seat 4/5, maximum luxury, and the Cadillac SRX or Cadillac Sport Wagon fill those needs in different ways.  They differ in their approach, handling, seating, and appearance, so each appeals to slightly different Buyers.

The Cadillac DTS attracts Buyers who want a larger sedan, with elegant luxury and a V8 engine.  The Cadillac STS offers similar space, with luxury appointments and RWD.

The Cadillac CTS Sedan is a great selection for Cadillac Buyers who want a balanced package — sport, luxury, efficiency, style.  The new Cadillac CTS Coupe is more highly styled, and offers that 2-door look that some Drivers prefer.

What is the right Cadillac for you?  The one that fits your lifestyle, fills your needs in a luxury automobile, and delivers that luxury and performance mix that just hits the spot.

There are no bad choices in the current Cadillac line.  If you have not driven a Cadillac lately, you owe it to yourself to stop by your local Cadillac Dealer and get a taste of American luxury.
