Thank you. I do want to stay loyal to GM for my next car even if it is USED. My son is already a GM man, maybe a loyal than me. I have had good luck with GM products, and grew up with them. I want my son and daughter to do the same. I make a choice to buy GM, my wife knows that, my son and daughter know that and my extended family/friends know that. I have a dealership in a small town 20 miles South of me that I TRUST, a dealership where I get treated with respect and honesty. A dealer that when I took my Impala after a small run-in with a snow-bank removed the dent for free. (Wasn't perfect but much better.) I didn't even ask them too, and when asked "how much" don't worry about, your a good customer. That is why I buy GM, hell my last two Pontiac's have come from different dealerships because I could get a much better price than at this little dealer. I always tell them what I am buying the car for and say can you come close? The response is honest, no but we'd love to service it and do warrenty work for you. My son or I plan to get the new Camaro from this dealer. Trust me that dealership doesn't sell alot of cars of have a big inventory, the service department is what keeps that dealer alive. Sure I have a loyality to GM, a great one to domestic cars and even larger one to the only dealership I have EVER trusted. It just so happens they service what I like, and that is GM products.
As for a CTS, my wife will most likely say no, she was never to excited about a Seville either. As for a V8-powered F-body great idea but I think I can hold off until someone in my family or I get a new SS.
The clear leader for me is a 01-03 Grand Prix GT, followed by the Cobalt/G5 and then Impala.
