      A new small Cadillac (based on Aveo platform)

      What happens when you give Cadillac the platform for a small car? Cadillac Aveo NEXT on Sick Sad World!

      Cadillac Urban Luxury Concept: The Cadillac Of Aveos

      Bonus points of respect to anyone who gets my reference.

      OK a bit of web searching, I get it, for the TV show Daria. Here is the page for quotes: Sick, Sad World - Wikiquote. It reminds me of watching the movie "Kentucky Fried Movie" The Kentucky Fried Movie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. "My underpants are on fire, film at Eleven."

      Well, there was that period where I did not watch cable.... then no TV at all (20 years), now I have cable. About the only thing that excited me was the Ultimate Car Build Off. I really enjoyed that show, when the Basturds (Discovery Channel) changed the time slot and I missed the last three shows. I grew up not watching TV cause my parents got rid of it (saw a lot of movies) and I turned into a reading junkie. I typically can trash a book in about a two nights. The only reason I have cable now to satisfy my data needs.

      I don't watch TV either, but there are a few shows I make an effort to watch.
      Daria (reruns are soemtimes shown on Logo, a LGBT station)
      Wheeler Dealers (HD Theatre. They buy a classic and restore it and try to sell it for a profit)
      Top Gear UK
      Top Gear America (premieres this sunday at 10 PM EST on the History channel)
      American Dad
      Family Guy

      That's it.

      Daria is one of THE smartest shows I've ever seen. And it ages so well. Even 10 years later, the series is STILL relevant. The sarcastic and cynical humor of the show makes it hard to believe that it's a spin off of Beavis and Butt-head.



      Anyways. Back on topic. What will come of this probably Aveo-based Caddy?

      Do you know what's lurking under the hood of you luxury car? Deadly love from Korea in a Cadillac TONIGHT on Sick Sad World!

      this car, if made, once it loses the flip enlarged single doors for four standard aveo doors (in typical gm fashion).. get more traditional tires and wheels, etc.. it will be about as different from a normal aveo as the fwd catera is from a malibu...

      i think the hardest sell is in the new media who has seemed to become a little more cynical of the big 3, is how they are going to sell the aveo as a buick and/or cadillac, with the typical appreciation between models, the cadillac should fall in around $25k..
