Replying to: xrunner2 (Aug 12, 2009 5:56 am) But if Cadillac expects to have any credibility as a luxury brand, it simply has to win the hearts & minds of the buyers who have been voting German with their wallets since the 1980s. When these people see a Caddy with tacky dealer add-ons, it kills their interest in the car. Let's be blunt. The sorts of people who find carriage tops & wide whitewalls attractive are too old, too poor & too badly educated to sustain a luxury brand. Cadillac has no future with these customers & it shouldn't hesitate to cut them loose. Let 'em drive Town Cars.

It makes most people that would gladly part with so much of their green for Lexus LS400 series and BMWs cringe with embarrassment.. These people would buy a Toyota Camry which is much less expensive before they spend their money on a Cadillac with these types of add-ons. But is GM paying attention? NO. |

Replying to: circlew (Aug 12, 2009 10:41 am) I have great respect for the BMW 3. I drove a 335i the day before I bought the G8 GT. But even the 328i EPA combined # is 22 - quite a ways from 30. [ 18 city \ 28 highway ] And the 335d is not quite there, either  27 combined. [ 23 city \ 36 highway ] - Ray [ edit: I do wonder exactly what that future Caddy 3-fighter will look like handle like accelerate like & achieve for EPA #s ]

Replying to: slimtire (Aug 12, 2009 8:56 pm) At the Auto Show, I sat in an STS...at 5'3", when I set the drivers seat, you could play professional soccer in the rear seat and I won't know it, with that much room...but if I extend the seat back for a tall person, rear seat room did seem to diminish... |
