Replying to: xrunner2 (Nov 18, 2008 9:02 am) The government would have to pass some sort of law that would allow GM to be reorganized without an actual declaration of bankruptcy. As for how this is done - I'll have to leave it to minds far more learned than mine. Obama needs to put that Ivy League education to use.

| With my tax money funding the supposed survival of the Big 2.5, any remaining pangs of guilt I had for buying only German and Japanese cars(and British motorcycles) will be gone completely. That said, I'm still going to hang on to my Jeep TJ; it was such a pure and simple design that even Chrysler workers couldn't screw up building it. | |

Replying to: grbeck (Nov 18, 2008 11:33 am) I can immediately see where the CTS is a better car than either of those austere, unreliable, and overpriced cars. Sheesh, a Nissan Altima and some Hyundais have a plusher interior than either those two. The CTS costs less and gives you more features. It is less expensive to service and maintain. The 3-Series and C-Class are purchased, (or should I say leased) by naive junior managers who care more about image than having a serious automobile. While among the status-conscious, "I drive a BMW" sounds better than "I drive a Cadillac." Not to me! If somebody tells me "I drive a BMW" he sounds like an arrogant (censored). "I drive a Cadillac" gets my immediate attention and respect, and, if she's a pretty female, my phone number.

Replying to: lemko (Nov 18, 2008 11:49 am) Why not bring a CTS to a BMW CCA track event and we'll see which car is superior. We'll even let you run a Caddy with a "cabriolet" roof, gold trim, and a continental kit. Snazzy!

Replying to: roadburner (Nov 18, 2008 11:56 am) CADILLAC DOES NOT BUILD ANY CARS WITH TACKY GARISH ADD-ON TRASH LIKE CABRIOLET ROOFS, CONTINENTAL KITS OR GOLD TRIM!!! Yes, and I would bring a CTS to a BMW CCA track event, especially if it's a V-Series car!

Maybe we could have saved the horse and buggy industry. And blacksmiths as well. |

Maybe not, but their typical customers sure like to dress them up with those types of accessories. And bring that CTS-V on down. Does it have an "Ask Me About My Grandchildren" bumper sticker on it? |

Replying to: roadburner (Nov 18, 2008 12:10 pm) Tacky Imports And, no, I'm not a grandparent nor do I place bumper stickers or tacky accessories on any of my vehicles.
