The media site has released the 2007 STS stuff. The base axle ratio is 3.42:1 for all V8 trim levels as well as the V6. This gives an overall ratio of 2.29:1 in top gear for the V8, compared to 2.05 for the base V8 with 2.73:1 gears last year. It seems to me, after reviewing and thinking more about what you posted above, that what you want is the top of the line STS with all the performance junk, at a V6 price. That is not really a reasonable expectation. |

Edmunds says that one of the cons of the STS is the front bucket seats. Too hard or something like that. I would appreciate any comments regarding the comfort of the front seats. I am considering an STS and cannot abide hard seats a la Lexus, Honda, etc. Thanks.

Since I have posted here with some regularity, I thought I’d post a ( likely ) final message . . . At least for quite a while. After driving several STS V8s, including the second STS-v delivered locally, I decided to order a 2007 Corvette Coupe. For many reasons. Details of my test drive impressions are posted on the Corvette forums here on Edmunds. I in no way mean to suggest that the Corvette is a competitor to the STS in any traditional sense. I happen right now to be in a situation where a back seat is no longer an absolute requirement for me. And I have decided to take the opportunity to buy a corvette. With many of the comfort & convenience items that I have found attractive on the STS. ( Again, details of my option choices, and why, are posted in the Corvette Forums. ) Thus equipped, I see the Corvette as more GT than “pure sports car” – but others will disagree. I see the C6, as of MY 2006 ( with the addition of the A6 trans. ) as a world class GT car and a world class bargain. Not cheap, mind you. The MSRP of the one I ordered is over $10,000 more than my 2003 LS. And the actual transaction price is higher by even more . . . Carpe C6. Cheers y’all. - Ray 2007 Corvette on order & counting the days . . . |

The Caddy's seats seem to have more/better padding material. Plus, the leather in the Caddy seems to be much softer than that in the BMW. In fast driving, on lots of switchbacks, I'll take the BMW's seats. In everyday, around town driving, I'll take the Caddy's seats. On a long highway trip? Caddy.....hands down. |

find the materials on the STS, are they up to BMW spec, according to you at least? Also, what STS is it? I was wondering if anyone has driven the new 6 speed STS and an STS4 of any years, just to find out how the AWD system is. you know, there is not as big a difference between a fully loaded (with every option) STS4 and a STSV

Replying to: exalteddragon1 (Oct 09, 2006 10:59 am)  Got a STS V6 lux for an overnight drive. Sticker at just under $53K. Love the nav. setup and Bose. I think it rides great. Firm, but not harsh just like my 99 STS did. The V6 really surprised me as I wondered going in if I would be happy with it. Plenty of power and all wheel drive too. Will be buying it. My price is 46,300 minus the 2145 for the free Nav. that Caddy is offering until the end of the year. Black on Black with sunroof

Replying to: dmathews3 (Oct 21, 2006 3:38 am) Did you get the wood interrior? I know some interriors have wood on the dash, but not the steering wheel and shifter  You know, if they just lower the price a bit, they would not have to offer all these rebates... we will see i guess. You got a good deal, though. I would expect to pay that much for a V6 Nav AWD. Let us know how its doing!

Replying to: dmathews3 (Oct 24, 2006 2:20 pm) One of the few incentive programs, that I thought was really worth anything was that 'drive for a day' program, because it didn't really lower the value of the car, they didn't offer you a discount, just a prolonged test drive. Anywhay, more GM dealers should offer the kind of service you had to there customers, that would help with sales and image.
