Replying to: fintail (Oct 03, 2007 9:38 am) Probably few. But the comment was the CTS weighs so much more than a 3er but it is actually the size of a 5. |

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Oct 04, 2007 2:28 am) Perhaps it is worth noting that Mercedes model names include a number to refer to the engine, but one should not conclude that the engine's size is used. The current AMG models with 63 in them really have a 6.2 liter engine. Cadillac's three letter names do not make a whole lot of sense either; CTS (Catera touring sedan), STS (Seville touring sedan), SRX (Seville utility vehicle  ), DTS (DeVille luxury sedan - not a sports sedan for sure).

Replying to: sls002 (Oct 04, 2007 6:25 am) I'll bet that most people who drive a new x25i, x28i and x35i have no idea that there is actually a 3.0L I6 under the hood.

Replying to: louiswei (Oct 04, 2007 7:33 am) Back in the 60's, Chevy would put an emblem on the side of the car to indicate the engine under the hood, a six got nothing, the small 8 a simple V I think, the 327 added crossed flags and the 409 had 409 under the flags. |

People who own a deVille can answer the question about what kind of car they have by saying they have a deVille. But people with the DTS probably need to say I have a Cadillac DTS (or Cadillac CTS, ....). The Deville name was around for a long enough time to be known by even those whose interest in cars is limited to the appliance category. I think including engine size in the name is useless information, and when the engine changes, the model name shifts, making for confusion. It would be better to have a separate tag on the car to show what the engine is.
