1	3711	1990	Classic Era ads for luxury cars varied. Some were fairly literal, showing actual design details. At other times, illustrations were more stylized, conveying auras of speed, sportiness, etc., but lacking specific details.
2	3711	2003	General Motors Corp. continues to face the challenge of including Cadillac as a luxury brand like Lexus, Mercedes-Benz or BMW. Cadillac must create a sportier ride to compete in the luxury car market. Cadillac is not winning buyers from luxury imports. Only 50% of CTS buyers traded in something other than a GM car. Half of that group traded in an import from Honda, Toyota or Nissan. General Motors is launching a new campaign that is emphasizing engineering and speed instead of heritage. New TV ads will show classic Cadillacs morphing into new models and new ads will focus on performance.
3	3751	2002	Harley Davidson is creating new motorcycle models geared towards its weaknesses in the consumer market. Its new $17,000 Harley V-Rod sits low to the ground with a sleek design and sports performance. It is directed at the younger buyers. Its $10,000 Buell Blast is meant to be a starter bike.
