Cadillac is on my radar bigger than a meteor the size of Texas. I'm not interested in an Escalade or any other SUV regardless of the manufacturer.

Replying to: bumpy (Apr 16, 2007 10:11 am) One could say that all Cadillac's have been little more than tarted up Chevies, which may be a valid point about the Cadillac's of the 50's and 60's, but I think that they were somewhat better than that. The Escalade is little more than a tarted up Suburban. The CTS, STS and SRX at least do not share a platform with any other GM model. |

Mediapusher, give us dates and models of GM cars you owned. Tell us what the problems with each one was BESIDES STYLING OR HOW IT DROVE. Mechanical problems only.

Replying to: mediapusher (Apr 16, 2007 11:58 am) As one member of the masses, however, I'll have to weigh in with Lemko on this one. Not all of us of the masses who can afford a Lexus, BMW, or Mercedes would buy one over a Cadillac. ________________________ reference text::::::: mediapusher Apr 16, 2007 (12:58pm) I'm talking about the masses, not just one person or a few.

Replying to: displacedtexan (Apr 16, 2007 4:00 pm) I agree with that. I've picked cars very carefully and enjoyed the making of the decision. I might choose the Lucerne model of the Cadillac again, but I certainly can pick whatever I want from the ones listed. I notice doctor's parking lots in hospitals and branch hospitals as well as certain offices (not a random survey) contain a mixture of cars mentioned along with Avalon or two and lots of GM SUVs from Chevs, GMCs, to Cadillacs.

Replying to: mediapusher (Apr 16, 2007 10:31 am) A bit???? That's like saying your wife is a BIT pregnant!! The Catera was not a lemon. People didn't think of an Opel as a Caddy. The V8-6-4 eng was a good idea. Only problem was computers weren't fast enough to keep up with the engine. IT's a technology employed today, and it works fine. CTS sales are slowing because the body style is old and a HIGHLY regarded replacement is around the corner.
