Replying to: terry92270 (Nov 27, 2006 6:26 pm) LOL, whatever .....You know you'd rather be driving a Slade. At least you wouldn't have to worry about being stranded along side of the road yelling for help in a Escalade !!!   Rocky

Replying to: sls002 (Nov 27, 2006 1:30 pm) sls, What ?????   Rolls Royce with their wimpy gas hawging V-12. Why buy a Rolls, when a Bently is the same thing only a bit better ?   The Cadillac Sixteen would be the greatest 1,000 hp/1,000lbs tq. car ever made and could be driven as a daily driver unlike the Bugatti, which needs maintence every other day at Ten$ of thousand$ a pop.   I'm with lemko, it would out class everything and would be "The Standard Of The Universe".   Rocky Replies to this message: sls002 (Nov 28, 2006 7:49 am) rockylee (Nov 28, 2006 7:53 am)

lol, How many Escalades do you think sell in Europe??? And the SRX as the Standard of CUV's? lol. Sales don't really back that conclusion up. I've looked at Kia's that had better interior quality than the CTS.   And as far as performance is concerned, I don't care if Caddy had a 1000 hp, Autobahn eating monster with a 6-speed manual, sport suspension and a big fat whale tail a la 911 Porsche, if it is sharing a showroom floor with a Front wheel drive DTS sporting wire wheels, a landau roof and curb feelers, with some greasy slimeball salesman named "Slick rick" trying to sell me a car with an AARP discount, I still wouldn't go near a Caddy dealer.   And a line of pickup truck based SUV's that were enrolled in a "Pimp my Ride" workshop is not how you "One-up" the competiton... Last I checked, Benz, BMW and Audi weren't scrambling to build an EXT fighter...   Sorry, Cadillac will always be the "Standard of GM"... A Standard given by those who have never experienced what a real luxury performance BRAND brings to the table. It's more than just one or two cars mixed in with a bunch of duds.

Replying to: anythngbutgm (Nov 28, 2006 6:15 am) The last time a DeVille had wire wheel covers was 1993. Where the heck have you been? Curb-feelers, et al are AFTERMARKET. If you have a problem with them, blame the owner of the vehicle, not its manufacturer. I've seen plenty of pimped-out Bimmers, Benzes, and Lexi. My salesman had a professional demeanor and I was never offered an AARP discount. Get with the times!

Replying to: lemko (Nov 28, 2006 6:42 am) I agree "anything" is lost in the past and still hates GM, as he did in the 1970's or 80's. One of these days he will get bad service from his foreign car dealer and then what ?   I guess everybody dislikes something and "anythings" bone is with GM.   Rocky

Replying to: anythngbutgm (Nov 28, 2006 6:15 am) >"Slick rick" trying to sell me a car with an AARP discount,   What's wrong with AARP discounts. I've used them since 50. I'll bet if I stop at the BMW dealer they'll find an equivalent--maybe GARP discount oder Deutsche ARP. Replies to this message: rockylee (Nov 28, 2006 7:44 am)

Replying to: rockylee (Nov 28, 2006 12:08 am) The Cadillac Sixteen could outclass everything, if, and only if, Cadillac builds it to outclass everything. However, GM in general, and Cadillac in particular, tends to build stuff to industry average rather than set new standards for the class. The Saturn Aura does indicate that GM may be changing. I am not sure how much of an improvement the 2007 SRX interior really is though.   Bentley is now owned by Volkswagen, and is not the same thing as a Rolls anymore. Bentley does have two E's.

Replying to: anythngbutgm (Nov 28, 2006 6:15 am) Your discription of the dealer matches my experience with the local Nissan dealer. They called me after I advertized my Seville in the local paper, and are trying to sell me something, anything, because they have a potential customer for my Seville.
