Replying to: rockylee (Apr 08, 2007 5:31 am) Well nothing went wrong with it for the first 120+K miles (except regular maintence). How reliable is your CTS-V ? Any problems with it ? Well in reality its to early to say how reliable it is, the car rarely gets out. Its pretty much a date car for me and the wife. So it usually just gets out on the weekends, this week I haven't driven it but will take it out today going to the daughters house. So far we have a little over 11K miles on it, at this rate it will take about 20 years to get to 100K miles. So so far no issues.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Apr 07, 2007 9:09 pm) Investing in Toyota today would be like buying a house in CA at the current over inflated prices. A losing proposition. I would buy back some shares of GM that I sold a few years ago, before buying TM. You should have bought Toyota 2 or 3 years ago at half the price of today. Here is the CNN Money take on Toyota stock. Running out of gas? Investors willing to get behind the wheel of Toyota's stock aren't likely to lose their shirt. But it may be like taking a drive in a Corolla, an efficient but relatively unexciting ride. It is hard for me to understand with your background, how you can get excited about an appliance car like Toyota builds. I rented a Camry and a Malibu recently. I can not tell the difference. They were both just cheap cars to use on vacation. Neither was as nice as my 18 year old LS400. They will both be recycled at least 3 times in the next 18 years.

Replying to: gagrice (Apr 08, 2007 6:19 am) I'm not "excited" at all about Toyota products, I'm just impressed with their success. They are rolling over everyone like a freight train it seems. I don't see anyone stopping them in the immediate future. But as you say, the auto business is like the Wild West, you never know when you're going to run into a faster gun and end up in the dirt. Many of the mighty have fallen in the past. Which is, of course, kind of the subject of this topic.

why everyone thinks the Cimarron was so bad. I don't think it was a bad little car for the time. I will agree that it was not much of a "Cadillac", but it had a much nicer interior than the other 4 versions. The Cimarron's interior may have been nicer than the CTS's.

| that the 8-6-4 engine was a maintainence hog, not unlike a Mercedes 600. The 4100 engine was, I think, much worse though, until they finally (after a few years) figured out the problem and fixed it. The Cimarron may have been the only Cadillac without major engine troubles in the 1980's. | |
