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: 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? |
