I have had over a dozen Escalade's and on my 13th Corvette, I guess I am lucky, my Chevy dealer has one of the best Corvette techs anywhere, other dealerships send problem cars for him to repair, and my Cadillac dealership treats me better than my Porsche or other car dealerships.
OPPUlent leather and luxury to excess would be great for a cadillac derivative..
i wouldnt buy it but for those that have to have the most supple leather and massive amounts carbon fiber in the interior ...
i hope gm goes for it and it sells well for its pricepoint...
i personally find better service at my chevy dealership as compared to my cadillac dealer but thats just a local thing for me that even after buying four new cars from them in fifteen minutes each as a gentlemen that cadillac service could not help themselves at Grand Prize cadillac in nanuet NY from ripping me off or should i say trying to rip me off in service to the tune of four grand of unneeded repairs when i stopped in for a free key fob recall...
4 grand of totally unneed work the cadillac dealership service department said urgent...
i was like thanks but no thanks ill think about it and after getting the car checked out at another mechanic...”all the other urgent” worked wasnt needed at all...
so for those who want to buy a cadillac version of the c8 corvette....keep it under warranty would be good advice...
pissed me off i ll pass on cadillac at this point,,,
I own both Corvette and Cadillac. My Cadillac dealer is a CLASS act....my Chevy Dealer, well sucks. Thank god for Fourm Sponsored Dealers and Rick Conti.

Just my 2 cents here, it looks like it all depends on the dealer and maybe location. I went to the Cadillac dealer in Alexandria VA last weekend to look at an SUV and I find it no different than a Chevy dealer, other than the vehicles offered. Same everything else, no special treatment or luxuries, same as any average dealership...

I think some of you are missing my larger point that GM needs to somehow work with the Cadillac dealers to have a higher level of service across the board. And also have at least 1 Corvette specialist at each facility. That simple.
If other Chevy dealers offer great service then fine. But I'm saying from a branding aspect, if they want to raise cadillac to be a luxury brand, they need to step up their services. Look at Lexus dealers as an example. With that said, I think the Corvette should be sold at caddillac dealers to seal the premium nature of the car.
I don't care about the fact current cadillac dealer service sucks or a "Corvette is a Chevy!".. you're missing my point. I don't care what it is now; I'm saying where they should go with it for the future

The Corvette has been departing it's status as a sport car and becoming more and more of a supercar... As such, I have personally heard a lot of issues with Chevy's dealers properly servicing the cars. I.E. way low oil, way over filled oil, incorrectly lifting the car, damaged rocker panels, other body damage.. etc...
With that said, that leads me to have a few hypothetical questions...
1) Why doesn't GM just sell Corvettes at Cadillac dealers? Don't they do that in Europe?
2) why doesn't GM have specialized Corvette technicians at Cadillac dealers since they naturally have to deal with hgiher end cars.. ats-v, cts-v, etc...
Sorry if this is a dumbass question, but if you buy a new Camaro, Corvette, or Silverado, can you have warranty repairs done at Cadillac dealers?
many have suggested that----a corvette on a Chevrolet showroom floor just looks more and more out of place and owners waiting in the service area hoping for the best.
Cadillac has never been able to sell a sports car or even a two seat sporty car. They have had several two seat sporty cars over the years that looked good but never were a sales success. They have had success with a few muscle cars but never a sports car.

The ATS-V Coupe is a sports car in my book. It storms the Nürburgring in under 3 minutes.
The ATS-V is an amazing car in my opinion, I was really looking to get one, but I was priced out and wanted the more "muscle" look. The Black one is my buddy's, driven it plenty of times, and drives amazingly, def outperforms a M3/M4, but people in the market for those only see BMW vs Cadillac in their head.
I am really curious to see what Cadillac will do with the new CT4 coming out.
