With brands on block, car names get simpler

What exactly is a Cadillac DTS or a CTS and how is a Mercedes CLK different from an SLK? More to the point, why do today's carmakers name so many of their products with gibberish? Not so long ago, after all, cars typically bore the names of creatures or exotic places or implied royalty .

If the American Automobile was so great, tell me why they couldn't build them so that people wanted to buy them?
Hardly due to "Liberalism" or "Conversatism" or any other "-ism" you may want to blame. They just built bad cars, with a bad cost structure. Plain and simple.

How many children do you know today that actually want to grow up and work 18 hour shifts in a factory putting cars together by hand? Seriously. Children today go to college so they won't get stuck in some dead end job like that. America is becoming a nation of thinkers, all the building has gone to the third world.

We have become a nation of paper pushers,we make and sell numbers on our computer screens to the whole world .... But they have started to catch on that the paper we have sold them isn't really worth what we said.....Now the world may stop buying or little bits of worthless paper,then what will we sell them?
