    Hummer's are horribly overrated. I've owned 11 Cadillacs and I gotta say the 2002's and above are super overrated. The quality has turned to ? and the part prices are ridiculous. I had to get a part replaced on mine about 3 months ago which cost me 340$ to buy at a parts store that would've cost me 65 to 80$ in a honda.

    Cadillacs are great looking cars, ride great and all but the mechanical issues on those cars these days are just ridiculous. I'll never buy another one.

    they're no longer American owned nor American made anymore go figure

    when they were still American made yeah they were gas guzzlers but they ride great, good handling,etc.


    I'm biased about Caddies since my pops used to have a '83' Grey Coupe De Ville

    First car was a Lex, next car will be a Toyota, car after that will be a Lex.


    I love Lexuses. They're understated, reliable, and have all the amenities you'll find in any other luxury vehicle.

    GM still owns Cadillac so it's still an American owned brand. There are GM plants/factories all over the world if thats what you mean by no longer American made then you've hit the nail on the head in a sense. But if GM sold out that would mean Chevy is no longer American made either.

    when was the last time you got in a new hyundai? serious question. when was the last time you drove one?

    dog im telling you, with hyundai you get what you pay for and more.

    i'll certainly pay 58,000 for a hyundai.
    you know why? cause aint NOBODY ? WITH A 10 YEARS 100,000 MILE WARRANTY

    that right there is them ? saying "We stand by our product" "we want you to have our cars forever"

    Never been in a Hyundai...I don't think. lol I didn't know about that 10-year 100,000 mile warranty, though. I will have to change my mind now...only if I could afford a car that much. That's a hell of a warranty!

    They're not luxury car brands like Cadillac, BMW, etc, but they have luxury cars in their line-up(at least Hyundai and Toyota does). I should've named the thread "Most underrated car brands/most overrated car brands". LOL


    Edit: I just edited the thread title.
