does that make them better cars?

Not having a GM emblem automatically makes them better cars to some people on this forum.

Last warning - this discussion will be CLOSED if the hostility and personal remarks don't stop, and if the discussion doesn't veer back on-topic. There's a very strong hint in the discussion title.

Uses GM Trannies in all cars except the 7 series. Has been for years. The STS will have the same tranny in a BMW.

Nothing further from me, this has been a 4 year argument with the usual suspects (me included) and some newcomers.   mbukukanyau, I did respond to your post in a engine topic concerning BMW.   merc1 "Who makes better engines, BMW or Honda?" Feb 19, 2004 1:52am   M

Uses GM Trannies in all cars except the 7 series. Has been for years. The STS will have the same tranny in a BMW. It belongs there. Its a GM tranny.   I do not understand how people can question American technological superiority. GM has more money, and More research centers around the globe in places some Automakers like DC and MB have nothing.

Euh, only the 3 series still uses GM 5 speed auto. The 5,7, and X5, etc all use a 6 speed by ZF.

I never said that makes them better cars....   That doesn't mean the STS has no prestige too. Cadillac is very prestigious, but not yet up to the likes of the Germans yet.
#332 of 1325 by chavis10 Feb 19, 2004 (1:58 pm)
That seemed to be the implication. Germans cars can have their prestige. However, the perception of quality is turning out to be just that, a perception. Check out the E class or 7 series topics. The STS could come at no better time. While owners of E500s are struggling with the electronic headaches that '90s Cadillac's offered, hopefully owners will now have a better choice in the STS. One good thing about being an underdog is that you have to over do it just to get recognized. When you're on top, you get lazy and cocky. Just like the tortoise and the hare.

I'm not sure what determines prestige to some folks but Cadillac has plenty of prestige. Amongst younger folks CAdillac's image is surpassed only by exotics, Bentleys, Maybachs and maybe MBs. That's about it. Watch Cribs and check out the videos, you wont find a Jag (except an occasional XKR) or Audi anywhere. Of course much of this is due to the Escalade but I have also seen Devilles and now that the XLR is out I have seen it in a video. I'm sure the stars will have them in their driveways soon. Lexus, Jag and Audi are barely on the radar of younger people these days. The Escalade has done more for CAdillac's image than anyone could have imagined.
