Replying to: cdnpinhead (May 04, 2007 5:06 am) I'm intrigued by what I've read about the upcoming Cadillac CTS & I'm just unstable enough to find the idea of a stick-shift Caddy perversely appealing. By the time I'm ready to buy anything, the new CTS will have been on the market for 2 years. If it hasn't disgraced itself by then, I'll look closely at it. |

Replying to: jimbres (May 04, 2007 5:49 am) I know exactly what you're saying here, BTW. I had the same idea when I bought my Lincoln LS in 2000 with a manual -- the first one for Lincoln in 47 years or something like that. The car's fine, but FLM left it high & dry, along with all the fools who bought it the first year for at or near invoice. So, fool me once. . . I've heard quite a few good things about the CTS, and the next iteration may be an excellent car, especially after the first year or so to work the bugs out.

Replying to: legar (Oct 20, 2005 8:42 pm) Better feeling, handling, and strong engine. I know without a doubt can handle my very very very fast speeds with absolute confidence. I test drove Lexus, really liked it a lot. I tell other people they should buy one. But for me and my 'spirited' driving; only BMW. If BMW ever really pisses me off. I would buy that IS in a hearbeat. Realy good looks, AIR comes THROUGH their seats! that was really cool. decent power, nice interior. Just doesn't ride or corner as good as BMW. K |

Replying to: circlew (May 04, 2007 10:24 am) But the E90's styling does not move me at all. It's certainly not a bad looking car, but in my eyes it's a step backward from the E46. The first time that I saw that generation, back in 1999, I was filled with lust. I had to own that car. And looking at my 2001 330i still gives me great pleasure. I still look over my shoulder as I walk away from it. By contrast, when I see an E90, I think, "Well, that's nice". It manages not to give offense, but that's about it. Because my BMW is a weekend fair weather pleasure ride, the miles are low. And that means that 2 years from now, I may well decide that all I need is a new set of tires to keep me happy for another 2 years.
