  1. I am surprised, this is better looking than I expected and the inside is not bad for an entry level CUV. I still cannot believe they are trying to force that stupid Dial/joystick control of their car down peoples throates. It is one of the worse interfaces I have ever seen.
  2. The XTS is a MUST have Car for Cadillac as there are a ton of Baby Boomers who loved the DTS but wanted a modern turn of the full size sedan for their retirement. Till GM can finish mapping out their road for a complete RWD sedan family, the XTS will suffice as a stop gap measure and you would be surprised by both old and young who seem to really like the pictures of this car. I think GM did the right thing in prepping to have a stop gap measure while they work on nailing down the ATS and Continueing to build up the CTS lines.
  3. SWEET, Like a Rinestone Cowboy!!! That is a pretty nice ride!
  4. At first glance, my gut said Jeers, but then after reading about the truck and what is there, it really is a true work horse that has had allot of love to get it back to where it is and what it can do. For the price you will not find another truck that can do what this one can do. Cheers for a reasonable Beast of a Power Wagon in true 6x6x6 fashion!
  5. Love the side and rear profile pics. Not feeling the nose of this car or the roof. Like others have mentioned, I believe that sad excuse for a glass roof will be gone in 2 years replaced by a more traditional sun roof. Sad how little that roof opens up. Interior, I am feeling it. I like the layout and the over all design that to me seems inviting.
  6. Sweet special 3 seat wagon that any Family could love! Reminds me of the days growing up in our 76 Olds Station wagon. I loved that 3rd seat facing the rear.
  7. I always thought the tail lights were LED, My parents SRX taillights are LED.
  8. I have seen people who do their own oil changes and other work on their car and do a messy job with letting oil drip onto areas that get very hot, etc end up with Engine fires, but 2 cruz out of the thousands sold does not make me feel this is a worthy investigation. Now if they had 10-12 then I would think something else is causing a problem. I do think that the wrangler needs to be looked at as 8 2010 Jeeps with engine fires is a starting to become a bit much.
  9. Weird, but it seems Groucho Marks has returned in MB dress! Am I the only one that see's cars getting more human faces due to the use of LED lights or what? These look like fuzzy catapillers over the eyes.
  10. WOW, The blinding light in my mirrors officer caused me to run over the poor pedestrian due to the reflective blinding nature of the over loaded Chrome on that dodge truck. Siiiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhhhh Why can American auto companies not understand how to be subtle in regards to making an auto, car or truck be impressive without being downright gaudy???
  11. I remember when the 2.8L Turbo's first came out and my parents test drove both the 3.0L v6 and the Turbo and said they would not consider anything but the turbo. Once that was decided, the economy took my dads job so they stayed with their 2004 SRX that I had gotten them. They recenty drove a new SRX with the 3.6L direct and said they cannot believe the difference between this engine and the old two options it replaced. The sales person said most people did not like the turbo with premium fuel and settled for the 3.0L V6 but did not really like it. The 3.6L v6 is pretty much loved by all and that customer feedback is they cannot see a weaker engine in the SRX
  12. WOW, that is some extreme range change. Talk about hard on the body.
  13. Was lovely nice 37 degrees in Seattle for April 1st and I went skiing where we got 6 inches over night and 12 inches during the day. It was a Freaking Powderlicous Day on the slows. Just POW POW POUNDING. I am a bit stiff as I just tore up the mountain with all the power skiing, it was beautiful. They just anounced that due to our cool weather, the ski season has been extended now to May. If we stay cool they will keep extending it. We skiied all the way till July last year. Maybe the same this year. SKI SKI SKI, Keep it cool and snowy baby!!!
  14. I wouldn't call it 'badge engineering'...more like platform sharing...same as with other A-bodies from '64 on... these had Buick engines, specific interiors, probably no exterior panels shared except for the greenhouse.. But when I look at the front, I really see cadillac before I see the emblem of what product line it is supposed to be. This is sad as it really should be individual to keep it seperate from another brand.
  15. Looking at the CarFax it raises a bunch of questions. I really question the miles, it clearly was licensed and was let dropped a few times and seems to have gone through the last couple owners fast. I wonder if the miles truley are low, is it a lemon with electrical problems or was it wrecked and got it's title washed. Seems to have gone some far distanced from each owner to the next. I do love these SUV's and would be happy to have one, but it would need some serious work. The interior and Engine bay just show far more aging and wear and tear than I would expect for the low miles of someone keeping it for an investment.
  16. Nice clean car, but way over priced and I agree with the earlier post, why not drive it.
  17. Cheers for a clean old car, but otherwise, to bad it is just badge engineering.
  18. Boy just think, you havethis big roof open and a rain squal comes in and the electrical fails on the motors and you end up wth a tub o water.
