What's the displacement in that four? That is funny. Where is Sturbridge, anyway? I don't know...if you have the $ 999 and the patience to fix little things here and there, go for it!

Moltie, I was meaning to ask who that is in your Av? Agreed...we don't want a repeat of a Texan candidate, now do we? I was thinking during lunch....strange names are indeed a liability. Hell, America wasn't even ready for Mario Cuomo 10 years ago...most people couldn't have imagined a President named Mario. It's kind of funny when you think about it.

Are these Medicare Mabels or (supposedly) competent people? What's the deal?

Loser? No. Economically prudent and/or an aficionado? Yes. When you analyze old money versus in-your-face money, quite a FEW affluent people don't give a rat's ass about what others think about what they are driving. The nouveau riche, however, do care. As for the others, I have owned my dwelling twice and am looking to relocate after the summer. Relationships? I choose to keep my life UNcomplicated. I could handle an UNcomplicated relationship, though. Is there such a thing? Wishful thinking.

It's not a W-body, but it is nice for what it is. J/K. Compliments on the color and the wheels. It has a nice, clean front end. I see that the standardization of dials (light switches) has spread throughout the GM line. Those have showed up on many Chev products I've rented. How long did you keep your previous truck, anyway?

I really like the DTS. I was oblivious to them but, on vacation in Pensacola FL last June, I checked some out at the Cadillac dealership there. It really hits the "sweet spot"...that of being a large Cadillac but still having styling that isn't bombastic and bloated. It has become rather svelte for as large as it is, with nicely tapered contours. And it shows that Cadillac has modernized and moved with the times, bringing its flagship right along with them. I'm such a die-hard W-body consumer but, if full-sizes were my bag, I would love to own one of these. I couldn't think of a nicer road-trip car. I thought the STS might make a big splash and it hasn't, so this is the epitome of Cadillac IMO.

I'm wondering if a new name was needed, as well. But, I'm sure they conducted their marketing research. At first blush, the Malibu is better looking than either Camry or Accord...by a wide margin.
