I'm sure if you went back in time to when ANY of those cars were on the market you would find that Cadillac was just as good if not better than the competition.   They had more style, were probably better built, had more horsepower and way more luxury than anything on the market.   The CTS is beyond striking distance, it has clearly made the others look like econoboxes. The first CTS was within striking distance.   Then it went on sale and hasn't looked back. Replies to this message: rockylee (Dec 28, 2007 7:39 am)

There is an automotive industry outside of the Ren Center, ya know.

There just jealous of Cadillacs success and future successes"   Does that include the naysayers who had such bad experiences with GM products that they had plenty of time to hear themselves talk whilst waiting for the Caddy to be repaired. Again. And again...   It does appear that GM/Caddy is righting the ship, though. But, please, let's not rewrite history. The Cavalier, I mean Cimarron, was only memorable for one reason...   Now, was your first post serious? Or just to keep this discussion heated...?

Cause that I CAN believe.

Replying to: onlygmmatters (Dec 27, 2007 12:27 pm) The Escalade is the Standard when you think of Luxury SUV's just like the Cadillac DTS and CTS are the best in their respective classes.   Boy, this is getting better and better...

Replying to: louiswei (Dec 27, 2007 1:51 pm) GM builds a lot of cars. I'm sure some percentage of them spend more time on the road than in the service bay... Well, probably...   Just kidding folks. There's a new Malibu in my parking lot at work, looks nice. I'll keep an eye on it, see if there's anything leaking or any pieces falling off...!

Replying to: onlygmmatters (Dec 27, 2007 12:27 pm) Take for example the Escalade. There is nobody, not Mercedes, not BMW, not Audi/Lexus/Acura/Volvo who could design a more beautiful or powerful SUV like GM can. The Escalade is the Standard when you think of Luxury SUV's   Maybe when "you" think of "beauty", the Escalade pops in your head. But I suspect not everyone here is a pimp or bling crazed. There is hardly an SUV out there that I wouldn't rather be seen in than an Escalade. Replies to this message: louiswei (Dec 28, 2007 6:38 am) habitat1 (Dec 28, 2007 7:22 am)

Replying to: xrunner2 (Dec 27, 2007 12:35 pm) "Didn't the Escalade basically start out as a Chevy Tahoe? Chevy not in same league as Merc, BMW, Audi, Acura. "   The MDX started as a Pilot/Odyssey. The RX started as a Highlander. The QX56 started as an Armada, etc. Parts sharing is common. The Escalade has a totally unique interior, HIDs, 9" nav screen, 22" wheels and a better powertrain than the Tahoe. They are not the same vehicle.
