Replying to: circlew (Feb 25, 2008 6:00 am) So, are you saying if your engine isn't on the list it's worth S&%T??? I doubt the Slant-6 or SBC or 3800 would make that list (or ever would), but that doesn't make those engines slouches. Driven normally, and maintained properly, ANY of these engines will satisfy and live a long healthy life. But run the piss out of 'em and what would you rather replace, a V-10 Beemer or a 350 Chevy??? (And don't feed us and lines of crap that the Beemer would never break down, 'cause it's BS) Replies to this message: lemko (Feb 25, 2008 4:32 am) circlew (Feb 25, 2008 9:42 am) lemko (Feb 25, 2008 9:44 am) circlew (Feb 25, 2008 10:00 am) cooterbfd (Feb 25, 2008 10:28 am) and 3 more... circlew (Feb 25, 2008 9:38 am)

Replying to: cooterbfd (Feb 25, 2008 9:12 am) I'd also add the Northstar V-8 to the list   A V-12 Bimmer would actually be a nightmare and a man has well documented the problems with his BMW 750: http://my750.com/mystory.htm   That list is also from a UK site and the British typically hate American cars though they really have no longer have any automotive industry of their own.

Replying to: cooterbfd (Feb 25, 2008 9:12 am) So, are you saying if your engine isn't on the list it's worth S&%T???   No, I'm just suggesting Caddy is not the World Standard, that's all. Don't feed me that line "because it's made in the U.S. it's the Gold Standard". Not anymore.   They are still building Lexus dealers, don't you know?   Regards, OW

Replying to: pmc4 (Feb 24, 2008 11:01 am) Since Honda is still in the stone age making cars with old, antiquidated 5-speed automatics and clunky, old SOHC powerplants that don't even have VVT phasing on the exhaust cam, we can expect Honda to add xenon headlamps to their lineup of cars around the 2050 model year. LED headlamps in Honda's have a year 2100 target date.   What does this have to do with the "title" of this message board?

In the memorable words of Crocodile Dundee: "Now, that's a car".   Regards, OW Replies to this message: lemko (Feb 25, 2008 9:44 am)

Replying to: circlew (Feb 25, 2008 9:42 am) Actually it is. Holden has been part of GM since time immemorial. Australia also is not part of the U.K. and Holden has a pretty good reputation down under.

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Feb 25, 2008 8:44 am) We were able to find a way to squeeze out 7,500 more.   Declining STS and SRX production, perhaps? I suppose that killing those two off will make room for the CTS Coupe.

Replying to: lemko (Feb 25, 2008 4:32 am) Here's a link that depicts many Caddy problems. Did the Lemon Law get invented because of Caddy?   link title   Regards, OW Replies to this message: cooterbfd (Feb 25, 2008 10:28 am) lemko (Feb 25, 2008 10:32 am) circlew (Feb 25, 2008 7:55 am) cooterbfd (Feb 25, 2008 1:12 pm)

Replying to: fintail (Feb 25, 2008 8:32 am) it's tempting to ditch the car payment and just find a mint 560SEL   Would a 420SEL have less needy maintenance, or do you have to drop down to the 6-cylinder for that?

Replying to: circlew (Feb 25, 2008 10:00 am) From YOUR linked website:   http://www.carcomplaints.com/worst_vehicles.shtml   Not a Caddy on it. Go figure. Replies to this message: lemko (Feb 25, 2008 10:32 am) circlew (Feb 25, 2008 7:55 am) cooterbfd (Feb 25, 2008 1:12 pm)
