Gaffe? Romney Boasts About His Many Cars and Says Wife 'Drives a Couple of Cadillacs

In the latest sound byte threatening to paint Mitt Romney as out of touch, the GOP contender told an audience Friday his wife drives not one, but "a couple" of Cadillacs.

“I love this country. I sure love this state. This feels good, being back in Michigan,” the former Massachusetts governor said in a speech to the Detroit Economic Club. “You know, the trees are the right height. The streets are just right. I like the fact that most of the cars I see are Detroit-made automobiles.

"I drive a Mustang and a Chevy pick-up truck. Ann drives a couple of Cadillacs, actually. And I used to have a Dodge truck. So I used to have all three covered," he said.

According to the Washington Post, the Romney campaign later told reporters Ann Romney drives two Cadillac SRXs -- model years 2007 and 2010 -- one in California and one in Massachusetts.

The 2012 SRX luxury crossover SUV retails for between $35,485 and $54,525 according to the manufacturer's website.

Earlier this month, Romney raised eyebrows with a comment that he's "not concerned about the very poor," a statement he later walked back, and drew criticism in December when he proposed a $10,000 bet to then-candidate Rick Perry during a GOP debate.
