Replying to: circlew (Feb 18, 2008 1:55 pm) First of all, GM OWNS Holden, and part of GM's restructuring has been to marry these foreign divisions w/ US divisions to streamline the design process, as well as share global platforms to cut costs. What good would striking a deal w/ BMW or Mercedes do. Then people would say Caddy couldn't cut the mustard and had to buy from the Germans to compete w/ them. I believe the biggest gripe the car mags had w/ the CTS in comparison w/ the 3 series was that it was too big (heavy). But the CTS gives you a 5 series sized car for a 3 series price. Yet they don't think it would be fair to compare the 5 w/ the CTS because the 5 comes w/ equiptment not available on the CTS because of the price difference. So I think it would be fair to say that Caddy gives you the same quality car for the same price as BMW, only the BMW handles better because it's smaller, and the Caddy is more comfortable to ride in because it's bigger. And don't give me any bs about quality, because the Germans have had their fair share of quality bugs as of lately.

Replying to: lykourinou (Feb 19, 2008 4:09 am) My SRX has a DOHC V8 and an independent rear suspension. It also does not have McPherson struts. The Escalade is a rebadged Chevy anyhow and not a real Cadillac.

Replying to: sls002 (Feb 19, 2008 7:57 am) How true it is. Nice for a truck but not the World Standard for SUV's in terms of overall performance, style and luxury. Regards, OW |

Replying to: sls002 (Feb 19, 2008 7:57 am) Really? I thought the CTS platform was front struts and multilink rear?
