Replying to: circlew (Jul 16, 2008 4:02 am) My link I listed earlier did not seem to work. anyway, all the below 2006 vehicles are 3 stars: Cadillac CTS Escalade Mercedes Benz C Class Clk Class Cls Class M Class R Class SL Class Acura RDX RL Audi A3 A6 Q7 BMW X3 Series X5 Series Lexus ES350 GS350/430 LS460 LX470 Looks to me like the data shows that the 2006 CTS is right in there with everyone of its competitors except the BMW 3 series and Acura TL which are 5 star and the 4 star BMW 5 series. So I guess we could say the 2006 CTS did not perform well in your reality but hangs out with some good company in the actual US everyone else lives in.  ALG is pleased to announce the release of the ALG™ Depreciation Ratings. Based on 2006 model year vehicles, the 1 through 5 star ALG ratings provide consumers with an accurate and convenient method to determine the amount of depreciation a vehicle will experience over the lifetime of ownership. ALG Depreciation Ratings will be featured on Edmunds.com. |

Replying to: laurasdada (Jul 15, 2008 8:12 pm)  The STS has a 1SG trim level (top performance package) The CTS has been available as the 1SA and 1SB only in the past I think. Certainly never went past a 1SC. However, the plastic interior was not ugly in my opinion, only rather plain looking, and while the plastic finish may have be expensive, the look was cheap. The door panels were perhaps too simple and an expanse of mostly hard plastic. The new interior is probably much better, but I have not seen one.

If you want actual depreciation you need to pay for it or go to a bank who did. Anyone know of any other source other than looking at the classified's? (something like reading tea leaves). |

In listening to Lutz during the question and answer period he mentioned that a number of new small vehicles will be developed for Cadillac and Pontiac/Buick. I have not heard much lately on the BLS replacement. Did a google search and the hits are all pretty old. Anyone know how to google and list out by date? |

We all have our favorites, our own loyalties and preferences. But in a survey of new vehicle buyers released today, only one brand can be at the top. The number one brand in the US in owner satisfaction in 2008 is Cadillac, according to AutoPacific’s annual Vehicle Satisfaction Awards (VSA) study. This study is based solely on the opinions of actual new vehicle owners rating their new 2008 models. AutoPacific adds no “3rd party” opinion to the owner survey results, which are grouped into 28 car and truck segments. For more information, check out AutoPacific’s blog. Cadillac’s overall win stems from the Escalade, Escalade EXT, the new CTS sport sedan and the DTS luxury sedan each winning the title as “most satisfying” in their individual market segments. Across all segments in the study, no auto brand (including BMW, Lexus, Mercedes and the others) was rated as highly by consumers as Cadillac. Says they only asked actual owners of the vehcles. Do they not know that the non owners have an opinion also and that their reality is more important?
