Yes, of course Cadillac and Dodge are suffering because of "fake news," and not because their products don't measure up. Consumer reports, Road & Track, Car & Driver, and other publications are also part of the "fake news" conspiracy. Everyone who says Cadillac is "Meh" and doesn't measure up to The Germans, and Fiat/Chrysler make uninspiring products, it's all just "fake news." The Truth is these cars are the best. They're great. Tremendous! Important people say so. It's true. These cars are so good, other cars-makers are scared, so they make the fake news. You wanna know what you should do? Buy these great cars. You'll love them. They're the best. It's true! And don't believe the fake news that tells you otherwise. It's fake. It's not even real. I know. Trust me. It's all fake.

(Yeah :-/ )

PS: Oh, those same publications that tell you the Mercedes CLA is crap, well, that's just to throw you off that they're fake. It's to make them seem more believable. But they're a bunch of losers. There're fake losers. Trust me. I know!
