I have to agree with you there Ross, with an extra $100k, they would put it into some non essential equipment like a coffee dispenser in the console, or shinier chrome on the wheels, or into GM corporate's pockets. Not to say that the Caddy and the Vette don't have their place, North American cars have always been a little crude when compared to their European counterparts. I still remember Jeremy Clarkson laughing at the fact that the Vette still had leaf springs in its rear suspension and compared it to a carriage. Not to say that he didn't enjoy the car, but so much of GM is still mired in yesterday's technology, hell they were still pumping out pushrod V8's a few years ago.
My issue with GM in addition to technology is styling, the Merc's and Audi's and Bimmers are almost timeless, whereas GM styles look out of date within a few years.
