I find an ad like this interesting in light of all the rhetoric about the '1 percent' that we hear from the left. Advertising is the antennae of US culture. Antennae, as in early sensory and detection systm.
Come to think of it there was a somewhat similar ad from (IIRC) Lexus where a rich exec-type lives in a mansion, has a $1000 suit, drinks $100 coffee, etc, but the thing he likes best is still his car.
It also reminds me of some Cadillac ads that I remember from the early 80's starring Gary Fencik of the Chicago bears, which tried to position Caddy as the car for the go-your-own-way, suave, sophisticated, aggressive yuppie who were then buying BMW's, Audis, and Benzes.
Could it be that Cadillac is betting that 1980=2016?
I am waiting for the conservative outrage that Germans can be more successful than Americans, while paying auto workers twice as much. And taking August off, too.
Why would that be of any concern to a conservative?
What I like about the ad is that is shows a guy "like that" is into having an electric car. He's not gonna be driving a Prius but he will take that Caddy and then everyone can be happy. Why would liberals have a problem with the stereotypical Escalade crowd being open to more fuel efficient vehicles?
A commercial that talks about American exceptionalism, the rewards that come from hard work and making your own luck? No wonder liberals are repulsed its contrary to everything they believe.
If you spend seven years in college so that you can own a Cadillac . . . you've got values problems.
Especially where every neighbourhood you drive through where the washer dryer are on the front porches of homes without a single pane of unbroken glass has a caddy in the yard.
