I be willing to consider buying one if I am not sticking out above the windshield. Being 6'6" tall makes cars like this hard for me to fit into without looking goofy.

I can not tell a Lie, I flew from Spokane WA to Ohio to embarrass those college kids since we all know Wazzo is the ultimate party college around. When we could not get enough panties from the sororities, we stopped by Victoria Secrets and bought a few hundred more so we could blanket the country side. Kinda like when we get urinal pucks with a imprinted logo of the Oregon Ducks or better yet Beavers and then put them in the bathroom for any proper Cougar or Husky to pee on!

That is an issue Cadillac, M-B, and BMW (to a lesser degree) all have to some degree w/ the performance models--they should offer their most luxurious interiors w/ rather that the dour, dark, depressing 'sporty' interiors they often put in the performance models... I'd like a CTS-v with the regular CTS light tan w/ wood and aluminum trim interior, not a gloomy black or despair gray interior. At least the trim is piano black and not disgusting faux carbon fiber, though I'd rather have wood & aluminum. I have to TOTALLY disagree with you. In performance, I want what the CTS-V has. Piano black. The M3 is this way as my boss has a new black one. The sales mgr here has a Mercades AMG and again no wood in that also. Performance models all have the black, composite, racing interior type look and those for the most part want this type of interior. I think you need to just buy the CTS you like and the V engine in Crate form and build it yourself. My point is the buyer should have the choice. That is true luxury. The luxury of choice. I don't mind black interiors when used a two-tone. I generally despise gray. Nothing looks cheaper and more unappealing to me than all black or all gray inside.. I can respect the wish for a choice. Personally I submitted a year ago for a Black Ice Edition and it seemed to become reality but they still cut short. My Idea was for the CTS-V to have the Black Metalic paint job with a depth due to multiple clear coats of paint. Then have the Rim's, Grill, air intake and all interior trim in Black Chrome on top of the Piano Black or composite Fiber.

Cadillac needs to also stop listening to the sport jocks and drop the reflective chrome on the dash and offer their products in a monochromatic package. I love the caddies I currently have but hate the new ones due to all the overkill Chrome. Plus how do you expect me to replace my 2006 Platinum Escalade ESV when you have less seat room. I cannot sit up in the new Esclades as they took away room that I have in my older one.

Snob

Span

I love it as is, build it as a nice mid range luxury 2+2.

We'll maybe that question would be better asked of the ladies, spouses, partners!

Tough as Nails

I disagree with BMW that their loss of sales went to Mercedes Wagon purchases. If a person wants a wagon, the CTS Wagon is excellent and far better. If they want a Wagon on steriods, then the CTS Wagon V is the ultimate hot rod that kills the rest. Either way, Many of BMW's auto's have become butt ugly.

How was Fit and Finish? So far VW has not been a good quality fit and finish compared to many other vendors out there. So while the auto might have a tin sound in regards to opening and closing doors, does it seem to be well built or just too cheap of content to really put it in a solid build category?

Yup, I try to buy only made in america product. This continues to show with my GM and Dodge Family of products.

While I understand the point you are making, you have to realize that people are taxed on the size of their motor, so a 2.8 turbo is cheaper than a 3.0 turbo. Nice mid luxury coupe for Buick.

Time to shed the blood of criminals, Shoot the Politicians. This 62MPG is a total outrageous mark for 2025. The tree huggers need to wake up to the limits of how fast Engineering can make these gains. If they asked to require each Automotive company to have a 62MPG auto by 2025 that would be a more realistic goal. Politicians and Safe Climate Campaign groups and the like WAKE UP, you will hurt this country more than help by having outlandish goals.

Over all, I have yet to find a DOHC V8 that can beat my Pushrod V8 bored from a 350 to a 402. I will stay with the tried and true means of Torque and power to pull my trailers.

Nope do not like it, I hate the old beater look. What a waste of money IMO!

Voted YES also, I see that it is over 3100 positive votes for a New El Camino!

Awesome Pic, thanks for sharing it.

FYI, Here in Seattle the Leaf is all the rage with the hard core Green everything people as it has sold into the rich pretty well. Woodinville WA has a ton on Leaf's being driven, but in truth, even though we do not get the cold snowy winters around town only up in the mountains 30 min away, the bulk of the people say that the car operates best if kept in a garage overnight compared to being left outside in the cold and drizzle that makes up the Greater Seattle Area. At 6'6" tall I tried to fit into the Leaf they had on display for people to check out at Bellevue Mall and I could not fit comfy in the car. No matter what I have done to the chair, I could not sit up straight, hit my head and I hate being reclined in a car to drive it. The Nissan sales rep said the care was designed for the majority of Americans who average 5'8" to 5'10" tall. Clearly not a real care for America. Pass on this POS and stay with my full size SUV!

A light weight Sonoma type truck with a Turbo 4 banger would be cool to have IMO.

I think the Padawa student is in heaven

YES, YES and YES!!! GM cut production to keep prices up, demand manageable and keep from having to do discounts to move units. It would be better at this time in the economy to be a bit on the lean side than on the bloated side.

From the News, weather channel, yes the Ohio, Missouri and Mississippi are all flooding depending on where you are at. Very interesting times we live in. Good luck to your mom.

THANKS, you bring back amazing memories for me. My dad bought a 1976 Series 5 LUV truck that I got and fully restored and then sold it for far more than Dad paid for it in 1986. Paid for some of my college over in Japan. I do wish I had that truck back as it was a killer truck, the Isuzu straight 4 just ran and ran.
