"Never Yield To Convention?" instructed Cadillac in their last commercial..
With all but blacked-out Audi's (A6), Beemers (5 series) and Lexus (GS) riding the track with them.
Now, their most recent commercial of their "let's try to appeal to a younger driver by making our vehicle uglier than a G35 with the interior of a bear cave" Cadillac have copied Audi's 'The Wind Howls because It Can't Keep Up' on-screen antics (for example - leaves getting blown about a few moments after the vehicle has passed). Surely yielding to convention and copying others both sit in the same basket.
It's so close to what Audi did, it's like being reminded of Led Zeppelin every time you listen to The Cult, or being reminded of Sinead O'Connor every time you see an ostrich.<ul><li><a href="http://www.johnwasserman.com/ostrichpair.html">Sinead and twin</a></li></ul>

Did anyone else see the superbowl commercial for the CTS...
Audi's commercial "The wind howls because it can't keep up."
There's a CTS that is driving through a tunnel and then it leaves the frame, and then all the wind catches up and blows everything around.
Lame copy cats.
