I'm actually extremely surprised that you can buy a Cadillac in EU at the moment, since Chrystler and Dodge stopped selling all of their cars in EU few years ago citing lack of interest - but apparently you can order a brand new CTS-V or an Escalade in the UK? http://www.cadillac.co.uk/v-series/cts-v-series.html

I've literally never seen a cadillac over here, except for a few US left-hand-drive imports.

And yes, an Escalade looks almost comical on UK roads, it's just too big by every measure.

Cadillac is produced by General Motors.

On my most recent trip to Zurich I saw cadillacs and chevy camaros, etc., out driving around.

They are crap cars but I think there's some counter-cultural cache that they possess in a place like that.

I used to think Range Rovers were large in the UK until I went to NYC where it suddenly looked like a toy compared with the giant 4x4s they drove. How on earth anyone could survive being hit by one is beyond me - the radiator grill was chest height.
