    I do love the commercial, but after what the looter-in-chief did to my parents' huge bondholding in GM, there is no way I will buy one.

    I believe the comment about August is about Europe and especially France. I think most of France basically shuts down in August. That explains the last words of the commercial. It also is a political comment on the shape of their economy over the last 50 years.

    I love this commercial and the house they're living in is exactly the type of architecture that Ayn Rand loved and talked about in The Fountainhead.

    I didn't check the YouTube comments, but ALL YouTubers foam at the mouth regardless of the video content.

    I thought the commercial is fine. It's a free country. You can take August off if you like. My wife and I take time off when it makes sense with our practices. It's no big deal. And who cares if he plugs in his car or not. It's a free country. When there are cheap used plug-in cars available, I'd like one. The whole point, IMHO, is you need to be focused on getting what you want, e.g. time off to go to cafes, plug-in cars, whatever you like. I like the ad b/c it reminds me of my family, where we are both hard-charging in business, but it's a free country for those who want to be more laid back.

      Laid back doesn't benefit Cadillac, so they reinforce their image as reward for hard work. Not my choice of reward, but as you say, it's a possible choice for those who can afford it.

    I love the commercial. A plug in car not so much.

      Don't hold anything against electric vehicles. They are innovation at work before our eyes. To hell with the eco-mumbo jumbo and the push to get them to market well before their time. When the tech finally does stand on its own, meaning it works as well as or better than carbon fuel vehicles (or hydrogen for that matter), it will be a remarkable achievement - provided we don't have to pay a fortune to recharge ($9.00 for a florescent light bulb?).

        Sure, when they're ready. It's a city car at this point, and with all the coal fire plants being shut down, and can't use our own gas and oil, it still remains to be seen if they will ever be cost effective.

          Agreed. The long term issue is the capital required for building generation source and distribution network. Better to convert that coal into easy to transport high energy liquid fuel. Its coming if the energy companies don't destroy the inventors and bury the technology. Power corrupts, and people in corporations are no more immune than people in government. There are a lot of Jim Taggarts, and very few (if any) Henry Reardens.
