Personally, I'm willing to pay a little extra to have an interior made 
of decent materials instead of three different colors of injection 
molded plastic.  That said, i have never seen a Buick that I like, and 
there are very few Cadillacs that i think are worth the money.  There 
are worse examples of badge engineering in the Saturn Sky/Pontiac 
Solstice, or GMC Yukon/Chevrolet Suburban.  Same car, same types of 
materials, just different styling.  The trucks and SUV's are so bad that 
you really can't tell the difference until you look at the badge.  
There's more different between say a 2007 and a 2008 Yukon than there is 
between a Yukon and a Suburban of the same year.
