Replying to: lemko (Feb 16, 2009 6:56 pm) Yup. That's the only place it will be in style...high school reunions!   Regards, OW

Replying to: jimbres (Feb 16, 2009 7:53 pm) Heck,Hyundai will get them before Caddy gets them back. That will put them far deeper in the whole...until they loose the UAW and management of old, no chance in Hades!   Regards, OW

Replying to: nvbanker (Feb 16, 2009 7:07 pm) Oh, I'm familiar with those early '80s Caddies and I avoid them like the plague. They're beautiful cars with awful engines. If I were Cadillac during that period, I'd have stuck with the 425 V-8 and given the eco-weenies and their stupid CAFE rules an upright middle finger until a decent alternative could be developed.   I've been doing well since I bought my first new Cadillac in 1989. I followed it up with a 1994 DeVille, a 2002 Seville STS, and my current DTS Performance. If they were so bad, I wouldn't keep buying them.

Replying to: jimbres (Feb 16, 2009 7:53 pm) I learned to drive a stick a long time ago on a 1953 Chevrolet truck. I've followed up with driving my then-girlfriend's 1994 Jetta and my friend's BMW Z-4. It might be fun on the open road, but rowing through the gears in city traffic everyday would be tiresome at best.   Oh, my girlfriend - she's a very petite 5' 1" and weighs 99 lbs. She's far from "domineering."   I truly love the Cadillac marque. If a Caddy cost the same as a Bimmer or Benz, I would still buy it. Replies to this message: questiongeek (Jul 31, 2009 11:32 am)

Replying to: lemko (Feb 17, 2009 6:15 am) If they were so good, how come you only kept one of them? Replies to this message: lemko (Feb 17, 2009 8:05 am)

Replying to: lemko (Feb 16, 2009 6:09 pm) If a teeny tiny 3-Series is the kind of car you want. I'd spend the same money on a very nice Buick and get my money's worth. Not everybody needs a huge car. I love 135i. I could drive it around any Buick:-) Replies to this message: cooterbfd (Feb 17, 2009 3:27 pm)

Replying to: bumpy (Feb 17, 2009 7:55 am) I still have my 1989 Cadillac Brougham and it is still in excellent condition. I intend to keep this car for life! I traded the 1994 DeVille for the 2002 Seville STS and the Seville STS for the DTS Performance.

Replying to: ingvar (Feb 17, 2009 7:57 am) ".....Not everybody needs a huge car."   Well, not everybody needs a midgetmobile. Try to put your wife and 2 teens in a 135. I can put them in my Park Ave, AND put you in your 135i in my trunk and go places.
