Back again to 'World's Great Sedans.'

MUCH better! I actually want to BUY one of these Cadillacs!

Nope, he's back again with 'Undiminished Size' and
'Unmistakeable/Distinctive Styling.'

(The preceding 'commentaries' should be regarded as HUMOR/SATIRE and
not to be mistaken for
actual cynicism and/or snarky criticism on the part of the author,
who finds virtually ALL automotive sales
literature to be a bit ridiculous, and worth a laugh, especially in
retrospect. ;-))
