Replying to: lemko (Dec 22, 2007 1:25 pm) 5. It's made by General Motors: precisely ANOTHER REASON I buy a Cadillac! That's one I haven't heard before. But hey, I do admire someone with passion, even if it's diametrically opposed to mine. Apathy is the root of most evil in the business world. Happy holidays.

Replying to: habitat1 (Dec 23, 2007 5:39 am) That's one I haven't heard before. You never heard that one from me habby ? I know imidazol97, has implied that at least on numerous occassions. Trust me their are plenty of others who buy GM's brands because they are made by General Motors. -Rocky P.S. Happy Holidays to you also !!!

Replying to: laurasdada (Dec 22, 2007 10:40 am) I have one of the 2007 SRX's. I have checked the garage floor to see if there is any sign of leaking. Of course all of the fluid could have leaked out before I got it home, but after 10,000 miles there should be some evidence of problems.

Replying to: sls002 (Dec 23, 2007 9:56 am) I hope you have no issues. Better to follow the recall, though. No matter the maker, I would never wish any quality/reliability issues on an owner. GM is doing better things. I would hope that recalls will soon become the exception... Happy Holidays to all! And, of course, Go Pats! 15-0 by 8pm tonight!

Replying to: lemko (Dec 22, 2007 1:25 pm) One good reason to buy a Cadillac is that there are dealers (with service departments) nearly everywhere, or not too far away from anywhere. But the higher end imports have a very limited number of dealers, which are hundreds of miles from anywhere. 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.

Replying to: laurasdada (Dec 23, 2007 10:01 am) So far I have not gotten a recall, but as I read it, the recall letters are going out for a February recall. I do know that some have had problems with noisy rear ends, and perhaps that is related.

Replying to: sls002 (Dec 23, 2007 10:02 am) You know what, I've been thinking the same thing. I could've saved big time buying a Lucerne CXS over the Cadillac DTS Performance, but I like the Cadillac styling that much better. I would've chosen the four-holer over the three-holer as I think the big Lucerne body would've been too much of a match for the 3.8 litre V-6. The practical side of me says the Lucerne would've been the sensible choice, but the emotional side of me won over again.

Replying to: lemko (Dec 23, 2007 10:44 am) Well if you would of went Lucrne, I wouldof reccommended you get the "SUPER" but I saw a black DTS, on my wayback from Troy, Mi thursday and thought of you. It was a performance DTS, model with all the bells and whistles. -Rocky Replies to this message: lemko (Dec 23, 2007 3:10 pm) rockylee (Dec 24, 2007 3:15 am) lemko (Dec 24, 2007 7:53 am)

Replying to: rockylee (Dec 23, 2007 1:18 pm) That sounds like my car. Did it have the body color grille? My car has just about every conceivable option on it. Replies to this message: rockylee (Dec 24, 2007 3:15 am) lemko (Dec 24, 2007 7:53 am)

Replying to: lemko (Dec 23, 2007 3:10 pm) lemko, we parked next to it on a rest room break at Micky D's but I did not look at the front of it. So I assume yours have Magneride ??? -Rocky Replies to this message: lemko (Dec 24, 2007 7:53 am)
