Bingo, agree with "z" and "ponchoman." This is a platform that has been around for a while but, God, has it served its patrons well. I have rented LaCrosses 3 times, the last time of which I put 1,400 miles on one, and it is super easy to live with and does everything well. Yes, the updated platforms will be better. I am waiting to see the unveiled exterior. My only negative on the LaCrosse is the dreadful "Medicare Mabel" grille. It is a throwback to the 2000 LeSabre. Also, the mousefur fabrics are very "low-rent district" which bothers me since I can't stand any leather interior...especially in a hot climate. I am hoping that the new grille/light treatment is the crisper and more angular like one shown earlier here on the site. That grille should also extend to the base models. Also, the venti-ports should be a little further forward from the driver's door. Now, if only this "brick" color that is showing up in the Acadia, the Malibu and others makes its way into this car....yessirree. The side profile and rear views of the LaCrosse are quite nice as it currently stands. Just view them in 360 on the Buick web site. And, sorry, the 3800 in the base model would serve me just fine. Gas mileage is good (I clocked some 29.5 mpgs while, as "ponch" said, I've gotten 32.6 and 33.4 on 3500 equipped Monte Carlos and Impalas which is nothing short of stunning for a conventional gasoline engine lugging around that much sheetmetal and pumping out 211 ponies in the process).

Obviously, being in a conservative position (work wise), that would not fly for me. There are three girls in my firm, all of them professionally trained, who are in their mid-20s. When they've had jeans or pants on during a casual day, I've watched them squat down to pick up something or reach up to reveal a huge tattooed area in their lower back above the beltline. I'm thinking "Why?" Why would you ruin the effect of what your natural skin may look like with that and, inevitably, when you get older, you may change your mind, especially as you advance in your field.

I'm glad you're cut out for it, because I'm not. When I'm on a plane or wherever and I hear the shrill scream of infants crying, I don't want to be around. Others who have the same feelings say that this changes when it's your own flesh and blood. If you're happy, I'm happy.

Why do you say that? Just curious. I didn't realize that there would be much in the way of regional differences. The son of a Sicilian family my parents know died of it, but he and the people he hung around with were shooting up (nauseating to think about it) and that they were making suspicious trips up toward Milan...evidently to get their stuff. The family was, by relative standards, well-heeled. So, from the map, it looks like Italy and Spain are the randiest countries in Western Europe. Also, I am surprised Brazil is that low...

That's right, 1 inch = 2.54 cm ! Nao gosto muito de isso automovil; gosto mais das outras Cadillacs. O CTS e bon, mais nao e muito bon.

On cars: I HATE the Thesis....the name alone gives me the shudders ( ) I LIKE their Alfa Romeo 147 in coupe/hatchback form Have fun.

I think the front end / grillework is a little bulky. Anyone agree with me? The v-shape hangs a little too low in the center. As for the rear, that's become cleaner....more like the STS. I did not like the chunky lights of the previous-gen CTS. The interior is nicely put together. The bolsters look supportive but not intrusive. I can do without the crest on the seatbacks...they will fall off soon enough, it would appear. I wouldn't buy one. I actually think the lines of the STS and the DTS are more nicely proportioned, but I wouldn't buy those either.
