Replying to: drtravel (Sep 07, 2005 8:49 am) STS sales last month were about 2,600. Do you want the sales of other Caddys? Replies to this message: chuck1959 (Sep 08, 2005 3:58 pm) bartalk3 (Sep 08, 2005 5:46 pm)

Replying to: ksoman (Sep 07, 2005 8:45 am) ksso...we fly to Phoenix every year and will be going back again shortly...have made the trip to Sedona and Flagstaff a number of times and always on I-17 but once we drove 89A on the strech between Sadona and Flagstaff enjoying the Sycamores and the river along the way.. Thanks for the suggestion to go through Prescott and Jerome. Last April we drove from Mesa, Az. to Santa Fe...took some small roads through Payson, Snowflake and the Petrified Forest near the Little Colorado river. We had 90 degrees in Phoenix and then SNOW as we approached Gallup on our way to Santa Fe. (as we neared Gallop we were detoured around the bridge on the north side of town because 3 semi's and one poor driver in a car collided at midnight the night before. One of the cabs was sheared off the frame....Black Ice! ) Would loved to have had the RL on that trip.

Replying to: jjacura (Sep 07, 2005 6:30 pm) Speaking of which, I just read that the RL has a monsterous 43 foot turning circle. Is that true? Do you have trouble getting in to tight spots? The old car was something like 37 feet, so its definitely not an improvement. Replies to this message: jjacura (Sep 07, 2005 8:40 pm) nebraskaguy (Sep 08, 2005 4:36 am)
#3871 of 10006 RL turning circle by bartalk3 Sep 07, 2005 (8:17 pm)
Yes, I believe the RL has a 43-foot turning circle, as does the TL, I believe. Honda is putting larger wheels on the Accord this year and its turning circle will be about the same.

Replying to: lexusguy (Sep 07, 2005 7:30 pm) Ha...I usually avoid tight spots and back into most parking slots using the automatic drop focus side mirrors. The 2005 RL specs show a turning circle of 39.7 feet about 3.5 ft larger than the 2004. Yes close-quarters maneuverability is not the strong suite of the RL but I am used to it because my previous car was a TL with the same turning circle.

Replying to: jjacura (Sep 07, 2005 8:40 pm) The 2005 RL specs show a turning circle of 39.7 feet about 3.5 ft larger than the 2004.   I miss the tighter turning radius of my 99RL - harder to maneuver in my office parking garage. However, it's not a big disadvantage and is more than made up by the other benefits of the 05RL.

#3875 of 10006 What is the best LPS? by frisconick Sep 08, 2005 (10:32 am)
I have recently become very interested in MB because of the exterior styling. However, I am very concerned about reliablity, I don't want do spend a down payment on a house, and have a car in the shop all the time.   Any MB owners out there to help me with thier experiences?

Replying to: frisconick (Sep 08, 2005 10:32 am) Hey, if it breaks down, you could always live in the car rather than the house you didn't buy for the sake of the car. Of course, you might have to have it towed to a state park or the local Y if you want to use the rest rooms/showers.   Economics 101: Opportunity costs.
