I doubt a 2011 Cadillac DTS is directly comparable to a 1980 Cadillac Sedan Deville. There's a lot more technology in a 2011, more advanced creature comforts, etc. ie, if you were to make a car with the build quality and features (am/fm radio, etc) of a 1980 Cadillac, but with modern engineering and assembly, it'd probably be significantly less than $46,280. Especially if they could expect to sell in 1980-level quantities rather than today's.
