Anyway, good points there, but even with the overall GM messy positioning, I really enjoyed the latest Caddilac ads. They're very classy and I thought they made great media choices. I subscribe some american magazines here in Brazil and I really liked to see where Caddilac was trying to go. A brand I tought was dead are showing to the audience that they're more then Escalades. And Chevrolet? Trying to position themselves as the "american classic", just like Ford. Anyway: good video and I'm really excited to watch the other ones. Good job!

Al Ries in July:
It's not about the brand, it's the category.
To come full circle, now he has to say that it's not about the category, it's the product.
