One last August slot in: Here you see a 2011 DTS which is basically one the few more recent Cadillac models I've liked. It looks great from every angle. Still haven't forgotten the ice blue metallic one with bucket seats and a console I saw in Pensacola back when these were new. This was at the historic Kirkwood Amtrak depot in Kirkwood, MO - a suburb of St. Louis. The Amtrak "Missouri River Runner" that goes to KC comes through here 4 times a day, but I didn't make it to see the train. The owner was sitting there with his buddies. He said the car had been very reliable. He was originally a northeasterner who also spent part of his time in Florida. Aren't Midwesterners supposed to be the most down-home folks? And aren't Southerners supposed to be the most hospitable? This guy, who incidentally was Italian, and I talked for quite a while. This always happens to me. I don't wear a sign asking northeasterners to talk to me. Foreigners talk to me, too. People from other regions of the U.S. don't seem to talk to me. Such is life.

I've seen one TB SS in the last 6+ years here in NE Ohio...a battered rust bucket, still on the road. Maybe one of a dozen GMT-360s of any trim I've seen in that time period..compared to Explorers and Grand Cherokees of that era of which there are still many on the road..here in NE Ohio where domestics are still pretty common, the GMT-360s seem to have all rusted away.
