I have yet to drive one, but I really like it. It makes my girlfriend's 2005 LaCrosse look OLD!!!If there wasn't so much life left in the current car and the economy wasn't so crappy, we'd definately would buy it. I told my girlfriend if she really takes care of it and doesn't wreck it, her '05 LaCrosse will last at least as long as my '88 Park Avenue.

The Chevy Caprice has been sold in the Middle East for years, based on the Aussie Holden, and now it is coming here
Torque, how is it any different when the ME Caprice and Pontiac G8 are both rebadged Holden Commodore? There's nothing new besides cosmetics and badge (okay if you're pushing it the Commodore has steering wheel on the right).

Remember the plastic cup holders you could buy at K-Mart that fit over the transmission hump or hung from the doors? This is what people used for cup holders before they became standard on cars. They were flimsy things that didn't keep your drink from spilling anyway. As for me, I avoid eating or drinking in any of my cars and forbid others to do so as well.

I have cooled seats in my Cadillac DTS Performance. You can hear the little fans in the seat when the car is sitting still in the garage. I had my DTS out yesterday and had the cooled seats on. I pulled into the garage, turned off the A/C and radio, but kept hearing this whirring noise and wondered what the heck it was. Turned out I left the cooled seat on. I always thought they worked with the A/C, but it looks like they work independent of the A/C.

"Objection!!! Not everything, McDonals has a good coffee like Starbucks (ingvar)"
Heck no. Both McDonalds and Starbucks coffee are total crap. Of course, maybe that's the reason the price is cheaper.

I actually agree with you. Cars are meant to be driven, not a place to eat and drink in (or to some extent, sleep in  ).
Cupholders IMO are space wasters, and they exist simply because Americans want them. Get a tight capped bottle darn it.

Here's an idea...what if you get rid of that Grand Marquis, get a new LaCrosse for her, and use the 2005 as the "beater" car?

That's an idea, but the Grand Marquis is paid for and I don't want another car payment. Maybe I'll get a new LaCrosse for her in the future after I pay off the DTS.
