Fuel Economy Regulations - Former President Trump announced plans to roll back Biden-era fuel efficiency standards from approximately 50 miles per gallon (mpg) to 34.5 mpg by 2031, along with the elimination of the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) credit trading program by 2028 [2][3] - The rationale for this rollback is centered around "affordability" and "consumer choice," with claims that it will save American families an average of $1,000 on car prices and a total of $109 billion over the next five years [3] Automotive Industry Reaction - The automotive industry, particularly the Detroit Three (Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis), expressed strong support for the rollback, viewing it as a victory for common sense and market alignment [4] - Following the announcement, traditional automakers saw stock price increases, with Stellantis surging 7.64%, Ford and General Motors both gaining less than 2% [5] Impact on Electric Vehicle Manufacturers - The elimination of the CAFE credit trading program is expected to create a regulatory advantage for traditional automakers while potentially harming electric vehicle manufacturers like Tesla and Rivian [6] - Despite this, Tesla's stock rose by 4.08% following the announcement, indicating that market reactions can be unpredictable [6] Trade and Tariff Developments - President Trump has renewed threats of tariffs on China, which has historically affected the soybean market, with soybean futures showing slight increases amid ongoing trade tensions [8] - Costco is suing the U.S. government for refunds on tariffs, with $90 billion in tariffs collected, reflecting broader concerns about tariff legality and market implications [9] Market Volatility and Reactions - The market has shown predictable volatility in response to Trump's tariff announcements, with significant drops in major indices following threats of increased tariffs [10] - The "Trump effect" on stock markets illustrates a cycle of immediate reactions to policy changes and trade rhetoric, with markets adapting to this volatility [14]

面对销量上的困境，凯迪拉克选用了最常见的"以价换量"之法，试图以"价格屠夫"的姿态在市场中寻找生存空间。CT5优惠超8万元，XT5降价13万元，GT4 售价跌破15万元，与合资家用车价格重叠。然而，这种"以价换量"的策略弊端明显。在消费升级与价值回归的市场环境下，高端汽车消费群体更看重品牌溢 价带来的身份认同和价值共鸣。频繁降价侵蚀了品牌最核心的无形资产，即消费者对豪华定位的心理认同。价格体系崩塌也引发了保值率焦虑，在中国汽车 流通协会和精真估联合发布的《2025年10月中国汽车保值率研究报告》中，凯迪拉克的保值率为45.4%，比一些自主品牌还低。 营销策略上，凯迪拉克也频频失误。2024年，其在社交平台发布的"椰树风"海报，用"不爱学习别人妆容""既不像保时捷也不像特斯拉"等口号，试图以"黑 红"路线博眼球，却因内涵竞品、风格土味引发舆论反噬。在IQ锐歌交付时，官方删除宣传视频以掩盖配置缩水货不对板的问题，也因此透支了消费者的信 任。此外，凯迪拉克频繁的高层变动暴露了内部管理混乱，3年更换3任中国区总裁，战略摇摆不定。 如今的凯迪拉克如果想突破重围，首先就是需在新能源转型上加大投入，提升智能化水平，推出符合 ...
