You don't have nearly enough garage space.

I would argue that refinement also does not equal silence. The Northstar is very nicely refined... but when I drive one, I drive it hard because I really like the noise they make. Listen to the "burble twap" of any mid-90s GM mid-sized pushrod V6.... not particularly refined, but probably reliable as any out there.

LOL @ "oily bits"
-
They hardly advertised the thing... and no one new what an Intrigue was. They could have kept the name Cutlass..... but that was also part of the problem. They expected people to bring their Cutlasses back to Olds to trade in... when they didn't, Olds said "Well shit.... now what do we do?"

tsk tsk, but you can't spin against Toyota Josh.... is doesn't work that way.
-
Tried that with the Pacifica. Strike 1!
-
Never tried any drugs. My anti-drug is money.... making more of it that is. It's nice being 27 and retired.

They are enough to make you stop and take notice. It made things a lot easier to see inside the car.
-
Otherwise known as the "dome light". In most cars it's kinda dim and pathetic. The gauges are nice too though. Much less "wow" factor there.

These can come in 4wd or AWD right? -
After the astounding public response to the uber-retro Challenger, Chrysler is releasing it's newest uber-retro car... the Aspen... Suddenly it's 1975.
-
They go on and on about the interior lighting, but ya know what? It really is that good. I did my test drive of a top line DTS at night time and the interior lighting is the first thing I noticed.... I quite literally said "Wow!". This is the type of car where the drive wheels are substantially less relevant. I didn't notice any of the loathsum traits of FWD during my time with the car.

Well that's just silly. I see more modded out Corollas then I see modded out Scions. In fact, I've not seen a modded out Scion except a few with the grapefruit launcher exhausts.

We need a rating system for the severity of a recall. Replacing the cables in a tailgate hatch does not equal replacing ball joints because they might fall off.

BV, the pic doesn't do the CTS justice.... nor do any of the pics I could find on google. It really looks much better then that 02-03 model you posted, and the updates for 2006 are kinda nice too. For whatever reason, all the pics I can find are of the 2003 or CTS-v. Look on Cadillac.com for the updated 2006 photos.

So a certain member of C&G convinced me to arrive on sunday and go to the show on monday. I'd still like to meet up with some of you if you do something on sunday, but realisticly, I won't be in town till 2ish. On the plus side, we're staying at the Marriot Renisance.

I drive a CTS every day and the interior of the IS doesn't impress me. I like the BMW interior's looks best, but none of them really stand out. Exterior wise, I like the C-class hand's down.
-
NOS is right, we should all meet up for lunch on Sunday.
-
Another question... Cobo Center is the same as Cobo Arena right?
-
I'll be arriving the evening of the 14th and leaving sometime on the 16th. Who would like to meet up with my partner and I? I'll probably be bringing my laptop and I believe Cobo has free wireless access.
-
Just think of the Avanti reproductions that could be made off of this!!!
-
I wouldn't have picked any of the 3.... and since this is the price class I shop in. I didn't.

Some notes on second a 2nd F body from Fbodfather
Drew Dowdell replied to hyperv6's topic in Chevrolet
Not a fair comparison. The W-body Impala essentially took over the job of 3 nameplates. Lumina, Caprice and Impala SS. -
You're looking the wrong direction GM. Look up! See those shiny new Z4s and SLKs and that empty spot in the Cadillac showroom? Fill it.
