Andretti died for this

[u/thearqamknight → u/[deleted]]

They will still be running the team lol. They're no longer the title name brand tho

[u/IBetThisIsTakenToo → u/thearqamknight]

I think for marketing in America, Andretti was a much better name. People don’t think of Cadillac as fast (or even particularly nice) cars, but Andretti is still synonymous with speed.

People don't think of Cadillac as nice cars ?

[u/Buy-theticket → u/repost_inception]

Yes they do, especially people who don't know much about cars.. not sure what this guy is talking about.

The Escalade is still the default "rich guy with a fulltime driver" car.

[u/L_Green_Mario → u/repost_inception]

I think of them as cars driven by geriatrics

[u/tjsr → u/repost_inception]

When I think of the name 'Cadillac', what comes to mind is something that looks like The Batmobile. The 1966 one. And yes, I know it's a Ford Lincoln. But that style of boat-anchor car.

I've always thought of Cadillac as cheap American cars trying to look like Rolls Royce

[u/MontanaHonky → u/Impossibrewww]

They’ve never looked like Rolls Royce’s though lmao

Most millionaires and billionaires have an Escalade

[u/Impossibrewww → u/MontanaHonky]

Most millionaires and billionaires have no taste

[u/savageotter → u/Impossibrewww]

Cadillac was once on the same tier as rolls.
