I believe that is the point of this car. Coach built to Rolls standards. Bespoke, no two are alike. Every example will be custom commissioned. All hand built in a new facility in Michigan. Max output could possibly reach 500 a year. Actually don't think they have a problem finding buyers in this segment. I already see Drake driving one of these in his next music video.

One thing I noticed is that this light up grille is the same as the new Lyriq which is $60k. IMO that is a terrible decision as it's not setting their halo car apart from the rest of the lineup. This car being truly "bespoke" wouldn't share hardly anything with the rest of the Caddy lineup but it has a lot of the Lyriq/Escalade design elements. On a side note, the new generation of Bentley are in the $250k-350k range and have some of the nicest interior materials and design of any car out there. IMO the new Conti GT has a better interior design than Rolls, much more sporty and modern while the Rolls is more old school and classy. The materials in both are the best of the best. This Caddy is at the same price point (or more). Going to be very tough competition for Caddy at this price. Every Bentley and Rolls is "custom bespoke" and can be ordered with just about anything you want if you're willing to pay enough for it...I wasn't sure if this starts at $300k what is the sticker going to be after options, $375k? Hefty! |

as long as they drastically limit the sales i think they can sell them for the ask. I don't think they will be able to steal bentley/rolls buyers though. those people want brand image. cadillac does not have that. you will need to spend 10 minutes explaining why your car is special to everyone, why hand built in detroit means anything... while the guy in the rolls just says 'yeah i got a new rolls'
these cars, like most luxury vehicles, will depreciate very hard though. screens and battery tech will be outdated every 5 years or so. |

Unfortunately for GM Cadillac does not have anywhere near the prestige or cache of Rolls, Bentley or other exotic brands so even if they were to make a comparable vehicle they're kidding themselves if they think that's the only thing that matters. On this level, for things at the highest end of the price range, what matters is reputation and GM/Cadillac's reputation is light years away from a company like Rolls Royce. The Japanese figured this out decades ago and created all new car brands that were meant to be upscale. Maybe this could work if GM created a new brand that was bespoke only which might be expanded to have other vehicle types. Throwing a Cadillac badge on this is like selling Phaetons at the VW dealership and that was huge failure.

Could have had something almost Bentley GT-esque and then they just gave up and fell asleep while drawing the back half of the car.
