I WILL any Cadillac over a Mercedes-Benz many reasons: 1. It's a Cadillac. I have always been excited or impressed by a Caddy. Mercedes has had many BAD years over the last 15. I don't think there's been a truly great Mercedes since the very excellent W126 S-Class. If any of my Cadillacs given me the grief that my brother-in-law's S430 has given him, I'd have defected to Lexus by now. 2. Caddy once again has the image or wow factor as it did years ago - not that I didn't like their styling even during their "dark ages." 3. Do I think the Caddy looks better then the Mercedes? YES!!!! 4. The Caddy DTS is the perfect size for me though I find the CTS too small. 5. It's made by General Motors: precisely ANOTHER REASON I buy a Cadillac! 6. Price. Heck yeah! I've always come out way ahead on price compared to a Benz. 7. Higher fuel economy? It not my biggest factor, but I'm still concerned about it. 8. The 2008 CTS is completely redesigned. Well so was my 1994 DeVille and it was pretty-much trouble-free. 9. Demographics? Well, I was only 24 when I bought my 1989 Cadillac Brougham, 29 when I bought my 1994 Cadillac DeVille, 37 when I bought my 2002 Cadillac Seville STS, and 42 when I got my 2007 Cadillac DTS Performance. All those ages are < 50! I also think the CTS is a nice car. I'm glad GM has a definate winner on their hands. Sometimes I think I should've got one of them instead of my DTS, but by the time I'd have optioned it out to the level of my DTS, I'd have paid more. |

Replying to: lemko (Dec 22, 2007 1:25 pm) I do have to comment that buying a DTS instead of the Lucerne does not make much sense to me, but of course it does depend on what one wanted and what sort of deal you get. The sigma Cadillacs are a different matter though, as they are the only sigma vehicles available.
