You made an excellent point about the '77 GM full-sized cars. Overall, they might have been the best all-around large sedans in the world at that time. It didn't hurt that they were considerably better looking than their predecessors.

I agree. That was probably the most fair and even handed, objective summary of the big 3's innovative history I've read in a long time. Well done, andre!

Wow, that's no fun...not a common failure, from what I know. Good old modern MB electronics.
 
Do you still have it? Have you tested the acceleration?

Yes I still have it. Yes, I test the acceleration daily. I've blown the doors off of the following so far:
 
Mustang Cobra
Corvette
Police Interceptor
 
That last one was fun.......

Excellent. I have seen the prices on those crashing down...every now and then I consider it, but they are still far too pricey for me to justify it, and I think I would prefer a 63 series car over a 55, as for some reason I don't trust superchargers. I also fear the low visibility in that design would drive me nuts.
 
And on the Caddy subject...I wonder if they will make any "4 door coupe" variant like the CLS, which has been a huge success for MB and is now being copied by others.

Got to see a new Hyundai Genesis up close and in person on Friday night. It really isn't as impressive as it is in pictures and the grille is pretty homely. It looks like some Chinese interpretation of a cross between an Acura RL and a Lexus LS. It's the ultimate luxury poseur-mobile. The owner is a guy who runs a factory staffed with labor of questionable immigration status.

I've always thought the current STS could be the base for a CLS type vehicle...
