Then don't buy it. It's not supposed to be a sporting car. It's supposed to be a 2009 replacement for the Continental. You never say anything positive about any domestic vehicle. It is, however the likely closest direct Aurora replacement out there.

The current Impala is the best W-body since the Intrigue

I've never like these in pictures but once I saw them in person they are very handsome.

Audi Nissan VW Hyundai Even Kia All back from the dead and all except Audi make unremarkable and certainly not the most reliable cars.

I can translate for you then. Bigger V8, 6-speed auto, AWD.

It fits the proportions description....

LOL I like to spot when people tart up cars in retarded ways. I saw a mid-90 Grand Prix sedan with 4 portholes on each side..... but wait! There's more. It also had Regal GS wheels and a Buick stand up hood ornament...... who says Buicks aren't aspirational! :neenerneener: And in a disturbing way, a 2001ish Dodge Dakota who's grill was replaced by an early 80's Benz grill.

Special Speedster?

GMAC is now lowering minimum credit score from 700 to 621.

I am now less qualified to do my job.... thanks.

my head spins.

Most of the gay friends who aren't just e-friends drive imports. Of the domestics, Ford has been better with courting GLBT dollars than GM with Jaguar and Volvo spending a lot of money in related advertisements. The Volvo ad that always sticks out in my head is one where they show a silhouette of a driver seat and the hand brake is pulled. The caption said "We know. We're excited about pride too!" My BF bought the CRV because he wanted to be able to "haul stuff". He doesn't know what he wanted to haul, but he just defaulted to a silver Japanese CUV appliance. I'll give him credit though, ever since he saw the Astra, he's wanted one. I told him we could get one in Germany.

It does to me..... The International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service has announced that a leap second will be added on December 31, 2008 at 23h 59m 60s, meaning that this year will be exactly one second longer.

You mean it isn't the cashmere headliner, power rear sunshade, and power trunk pull down? Wow!

To steal from Satty... or Reg... or whoever said it. "Yes, it's a shame that Cadillac is pandering to the people with money who buy these vehicles"

I didn't make a statement on the "looks". There was nothing wrong with the materials from a quality standpoint. They don't photograph well. That was about it. Again, it didn't look any more wagon than the competition.

GM has the new Lacrosse to address the ES350. Even if the SRX sells only three quarters of the RX, it'll do better than everything else in the market.

would you be my mommy?

I had the original CTS and there isn't anything wrong with the interior as far as materials. I never got the "it looks like a wagon" thing. It didn't look like a wagon any more than a CRV or RX does.

Well, the previous award winning one didn't sell.... so I don't blame GM for giving up on that formula.

The RX does just fine thanks. GM/Cadillac needs to concentrate on getting the most bang for their development dollar right now. This new SRX achieves that. I wonder if there would as much venom here if the name were BRX instead of SRX.

Your bloody beloved Jaguar XF shares the same basic platform with the Mustang..... will that make you stop jerking off over it? I doubt it.

It's a long term offering for RX drivers. Get your head out of your ass. The SRX may not appeal to you personally, but it's no Cimarron.

This SRX, while not our cup of tea, will still sell much better than the old SRX. As such, it will likely also be profitable which should be GM's number 1 concern right now.
