Hahahahahahahaha. That explains all those cadillacs with old guys in the passing lane wearing golf hats with the turn indicator stuck permanently on.
The BBC classified the Cadillac as "cheap" when comparing it with other cars on the same price range.
No. It explains the Led Zeppelin songs in their advertising and some of the 30-45 year olds driving around in CTSs and some XLRs around these parts, which are the outside of Philadelphia. I think that they have lowered their median age from dead to near dead. Of course, Lincoln has helped out by not building any cars at all to compete.
Actually, Led Zeppelin is quite popular with the kids these days, and the Escalade has great cache with the rapping crowd.
Cadillac is in fact a much younger and hipper brand then it has been in
25 years. one of GM's rare successes.And of course any new caddy is more "youthful" then an old 300 Richard...
Martin Martin Martin. If I want to attract jailbait I drive the 633.
I've seen this same sort of phrasing in the car magazines several times. Saying "rappers" is obviously a delicate euphemism, a way of tiptoeing carefully around the need to say "blacks."

Say, what is the 633? That's a model I don't think I've heard of, and I am fairly knowlegable on benzs. 12 cylinder, I take it? What is the body style?
It's a BMW you eejit. Google it.
OB MB: the body was designed by the same guy that designed the 113SL and 111 Coupe.
You didn't stipulate that it was a beemer, and this is a mercedes newsgroup, so don't be too hard on me, ok?
so don't be too hard on me, ok?
Richard is a nice guy, don't take it hard =)

Wrong. This isn't about race, it's about youth. Look at all those white suburban kids who try there best to look and talk like gang bangers.
They are part of the "rappers" culture and demographic described also.
Furthermore, caddy long been a strong brand in the african american community, so that wouldn't be any kind of new thing.

Those white suburban kids generally can't afford Cadillac Escalades.
I didn't say it was new. I said it was so.
Geoff
I suspect he is at that, and he does seem to know a lot about mercedes. Anyway, I get a kick out of Brits.
Remember that the term african-american was coined by Jesse Jackson during his stint with the rainbow coalition. Real Americans don't have a damn hyphen.
Luckily you have no actual say in defining real americans.
Anyway, I get a kick out of Brits.
Heck no, he's from Ontario.

Err, no, I was born in Wales actually, then moved to Canada, then Los Angeles then back to Canada. For fun I speak with a Southern US accent just to confuse poeple.
Bye y'all.
Yes, but you're in Ontario, no? When I say 'from' I mean current residence. Here in Vancouver I don't know many people who were actually born here.

Yeah, sort of. I'm north of highway 7 on the canadioan sheild where topsoil is scare but water isn't. North of the Ceder curtain they call it up here. Look at a map of Ontario. Find Toronto, then find Ottawa. Draw a straight line between the two and I'm exacly at the nmidpoint.
