I have a 2004 SRX and the silver paint on the sides of the car has vertical stripes in it from the bad paint job. I think the robot arms were not adjusted property when it got sprayed.
 
Anyone else with this problem.
 
Oh, and also the rear end was replaced at 20k miles, you can't replace front exterior light bulbs without dismantling the bumper, and the car will not start at all at times.
 
But mostly, I am interested in why a honda accord has a beter paint job than my Cadillac SRX

That does sound poor. Anybody know how a vehicle can have vertical stripes? If there is a problem it is horizontal stripes due to the fact that the paint gun runs along the car horizontally, not vertically. I guess if the paint is put on too heavily it could run.

Perhaps it has been run through an automatic car wash with brushes that run vertically and have not been maintained?

they could start by writing truthful ad copy. The CTS banner ad on the main Edmunds page claims the direct injection V6 is "the most powerful engine ever to bear the Cadillac wreath and crest," which overlooks the entire V-series, the regular V8 STS and XLR, the Escalade, and more than a few luxobarges from the late '60s and early '70s.

I noticed last night that Burn Notice on the USA channel is using a 2008 CTS as one of the cars on the set. Has been on for the last few episodes but I had thought it was an STS.

Thats not what it says though and I quote, " Now available with a 304 hp Direct Injection V6, The most powerful engine ever to bear the Cadillac Wreath and Crest."
 
Doesn't say most powerful V6 it says most powerful engine.

If you probe the link you find deep inside that they qualify it to V6.

I suspect Edmunds is responsible for the goof.

Ahyy Typos are a PITA aren't they?
 
That does sound like a wicked good engine though. Any word on real world gas mileage for the new CTS?
