Replying to: cooterbfd (Sep 14, 2008 6:28 pm) PRECISELY my point. And I'm one of them. These days, though I'm normally a free market guy, I think it's important to drive American if possible, and so I'm looking at Cadillacs and Lincolns to potentially replace my Lexus sometime in the next 11 months. Tried out an STS the other weekend.....was woefully disappointed, mostly due to the size, or lack thereof. I NEED a large sedan for business, and I LIKE a large car and mileage is secondary for me. The STS misses the mark by a mile. Presently, the DTS is the only possibility for me in the Cadillac stable, and the CTS is really off the mark. Course, that's just me. |

I think so if they stop trying to out-BMW BMW. Cadillac made a name for itself by building world-class full-size luxury cars and needs to refocus on that. We need a new DTS, to return the Seville to it's 1998-2004 proportions, and a revived full-size Eldorado. Sure keep the CTS and maybe one more smaller car around, plus the crossover to keep younger buyers interested, but do not forget what bought you to the dance. Cadillac did that before in the 1980s with the Cimmaron and downsizing, and paid dearly for it, so let's not do it again. I have owned BMWs, and they were great sports sedans. I have owned Cadillacs, and they were great full-size luxury cruisers. A BMW should be a sports sedan, and a Cadillac should be full-size luxury cruiser.

Replying to: nvbanker (Sep 18, 2008 9:43 am) The kompressor AMG cars are depreciating as a whole by maybe 1K/month now...I suspect by the end of next year an 06 CLS55 will be able to be had for under 40K, especially with the upcoming facelift and the the 55 kompressor being discontinued.

The thing is, is the "American BMW" concept working?
