Replying to: british_rover (Jul 15, 2007 4:05 pm) It looks like an overinflated RAV4 because that's what it is

Replying to: mediapusher (Jul 17, 2007 2:19 pm) That's because his statement wasn't totally overboard like most of yours are regarding Cadillac. BTW Caddy doesn't have to be the Standard of the World anymore. It will ALWAYS be the CADILLAC OF THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY.

Replying to: cooterbfd (Jul 18, 2007 2:47 pm) Yeah, "CADILLAC OF THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY" = "STYLE, BUT NO SUBSTANCE". Replies to this message: gagrice (Jul 23, 2007 6:01 am) aldw (Jul 24, 2007 12:14 pm)

Replying to: mediapusher (Jul 22, 2007 11:07 pm) You want substance with no style you can buy a ToyLex vehicle. This is not about the perfect vehicle. Though I must say, the Escalade comes close

Replying to: mediapusher (Jul 14, 2007 8:57 pm) In the early 1900's European cars were hand built with custom parts. The parts were not interchangeable. So, if you had a worn out part, you had to take your car to the factory or someone who could then build a custom part to replace the worn part.   There were no European cars that could have been taken apart, with two other cars like it, and then, after mixing up the parts, put together three new cars from the parts of the three old cars. However, Ford model A's or T's (not sure which might have been in production) could have done just as well as Cadillac's.

Replying to: rockylee (Jul 28, 2007 12:16 am) Finally, GM is realizing that the interior DOES matter, even though many loyalists were very slow to admit that the insides were indeed a problem.   Looks like a nice ride, I can't see why anyone would buy a current one now.

Replying to: fintail (Jul 28, 2007 8:47 am) I think that the CTS was a good car for the money. The interior was not quite what I expected when I looked at a 2003. I did look at a Lincoln LS at a later time, and the interior was better, but not a lot better. I think that the SRX interior was too much like the CTS for the price tags that they put on the 2004-2005 models. I finally gave up on the idea of getting a 2006 program SRX in part because the 2007 interior was really quite nice. So, yes the interior does matter, and sales of the CTS should improve from current levels. The DI V6 won't hurt sales either.   torque/hp curve: http://eogld.ecomm.gm.com/NASApp/domestic/graytabcontroller.jsp?graytabtype=1&rp- oid=36105&vehicleid=4824&regionID=1&section=oi_def
