BIG MISTAKE.

Not much IMO, maybe a CPO Cadillac CTS, and a list of cars that I'd buy that you probably aren't into

This is true.

Exterior is really quite nice but the Interior is so very off-putting to me.

I always liked the Bravada... I think it was the best looking one at least.

Aortic.

Sand, Graders, De-Icer. No Salt.

There really is little that Equals this... one of my Fav cars ever along with the 1956 Cadillacs and Imperials, the 1965 Cadillac and the 1961-63 Continentals.

GM Can't afford to invest that kind of money into their employees... sheesh. Isn't GM known as "Generous Motors" sometimes for the kind of money they spend on their Employee Healthcare.

Thanks, the family seems to want me to eulogize him, so been writing things down that my two cousins and brother want me to address, as well as my brother's memories... It's really sad because he was so looking forward to coming home after the surgery and driving his car, god how he loved that car. We've arranged so the funeral procession will drive past their house and stop, so he can see his car one last time, and see the Christmas Tree fully lit up. Some strange things happened today that can only make me think that he's present in spirit. I spent all day with my grandmother and my parents, aunts and uncles. My grandma was so heartbroken about the car not being driven that I told her that as long as she wants I will come over and run the engine, scrape off ice and snow and make it look like it's being regularly driven, since the car hadn't been driven in six weeks I went and I plugged in the block heater for a few hours and then went out... The keyless entry unlocked the car but then I got in and turned the key and the battery was dead. My dad told me that if the battery was toast then we wouldn't worry about running it. So I go to turn the car into the off position and the cylinder stops moving between "Acc" and "Off". at this point the only option was to get the people from GM Roadside Assistance to come and jump the car to get it running, so we could either see if the key would come out then, or take it down to the dealer for them to fix there. Sure enough the roadside assistance people come and boost the car, it runs for an hour and a half and I turn it off, the key comes out of the ignition just fine. Funny thing is I tried to start it when it was frozen with a dead battery once before, it wouldn't start and the key just came out fine. Go ahead and call me nutso but something tells me that he was there wanting his car to be run, and interfered so we basically had to do so. Also my father had been wearing his "Wrap Around" sunglasses and my grandfather never cared for them. My dad misplaced them after leaving them on the counter. He went out but then came back and the glasses were in one of my grandfather's shoes... on the shoerack on a different floor of the house. Am I crazy or have other people who've lost people dear to them experienced similar things?

Thank you very much, I also feel relieved that he lived his life with a clear mind. His younger and older brothers both ended up going down the dark path of dementia and I feel happy that he lived his life, in it's entirety without a single noticeable dulling of the mind. He privately confided in me many times that this was his greatest fear, to end up like them.

Um those interiors are not what Buick should be aspiring too at all, I daresay that the two tone Regal interior with the wood is nicer than everything else you posted. In order from best to worst: 1) Regal 2) Maxima 3) Passat 4) Mazda 5) Altima 6) Mondeo

I'm sad to say tonight that I've lost my grandfather to failure of the heart. He'd been in the hospital for six weeks and he had a Valve Replacement Surgery on the 15th of December. As it turns out something went wrong with a different part of the heart after the surgery and he had been on full life support. He began to peter out this evening and I had a Calculus Final at the university until 9PM, I arrived within enough time to say my final goodbyes to a man who has meant so much to me. I suppose if there is a silver lining in his passing, it's that in a Biopsy done during the surgery it was discovered that he had Lung Cancer, and it had progressed to the point where it was not treatable... he would have had a year to live. If I can find any comfort in what has transpired over possible the worst days of my life it's that he did not consciously suffer after his surgery and died peacefully, rather than suffering a long sad, painful decline that would have taken it's toll on everyone he knew. I think the best thing I can do now is write something about how much he meant to me... perhaps I'll share those thoughts later. Meantime I'd really appreciate your prayers for his eternal well being and for strength and fortitude to my Grandmother, his wife of sixty years, at this time.

I was never a fan of the two doors in Fuselage form, but the 4-Doors were nice... However for the Imperial I liked every year from 55-68 then the styling really kinda lost me.

Not sure I'd buy either of them. In the realm of small cars there are only precious few I'd buy new ie Astra, Focus, Mini, Cruze (second hand is a whole different ball game).

Me too...

The Low Rolling Resistance goes a long way to a nicer ride and these tires are the reason we have such good mileage on our Impala. That is, however, all the good that's gonna be said about said tires.

Aye, ours feels really solid, I know that in terms of frame rigidity and whatnot the Epsilon platform is probably better but it feels almost like an isolated space...

Just Saw this Clip on Jay Leno's Website about his 1967 Imperial Crown Hardtop and how he came about owning it... Figured I'd share it with you guys in case anybody hasn't seen it. I think the video really captures why I like these 1960s Imperials better than the Cadillacs and even Lincolns of their day. My dad had a Chrysler Newport Hardtop Coupe of this era and he loved it. http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/video/video_...html?vid=218789

Yeah I heard about that happening recently in Metro Detroit...

a) yes, maybe a different grain of wood though. The gray should really have a two tone coloring to it. b) 38000$CDN max c) 30-40K CDN d) Acura TSX, Infiniti G37 e) Lincoln MXZ, Acura TSX, Infiniti G37 f) no g) 2007 Impala, 2006 Malibu Maxx, 2007 G5

Go for 300!

I'm with ya FOG, if I had to pick one of the two to stay I would pick Saab without hesitation.

Go for the Caddy and don't look back... for the 4000$ Premium it's way more truck for your buck. Also the Quicksilver/Ebony looks better than the White Diamond/Ebony IMHO.

Made in Canada at Oshawa too. I like the Idea of the Regal. Give it that interior and a DI-4 and that'll make a nice daily driver for me.
