American Economy lawl. Like someone mentioned, it's called outsourcing. Improved drastically? More like marginally. The interior is still cheap, but I thought American engines were pretty reliable?

But yet cars like Audi and Mercedes-Benz are prasied for their too-costly, and not needed electonics, and yet their cars stay in the shop half the time and cost the most to repair.
That's a concept interior, I'll reserve my judgement until I see the production version. As for the Mustang...of course it's going to sell well in America...how are the sales worldwide? And you're generalizing about German cars always in the shop due to electrical issues...the majority of the cars are fine.

I understand that many feel that cars such as the new camaro will not be successful or are too ugly, but out of all honesty, would alot of you all get a 335i if it wasnt by BMW. If you were just looking at the design of the car (exterior-wise) and then looking at the price,I doubt that the 335i would sell the same.
Yeah, because Cadillac just cuts corners elsewhere.

I find it funny whenever people say "if this car wasn't made by this company"; the car wouldn't exist anyway because it would lack the design cues of that particular company, making that point moot.

Oh yeah I know.....Its american! LOL
Once again, I haven't seen the production version yet. If novelty cues are your thing, go for it.
