Perhaps you should drive with your hands on the wheel next time.

68, could you be a little less hardline about this? The Aurora, Impala SS, Lucerne CXS and DTS are all fine cars with V8s and FWD. Not everyone has to like what you like. If there were room in my garage, I'd love a new DTS... regarless of the drive wheels. If I want a sporty car to throw around on the weekends, that is what I have the CTS for. Not every car has to be the same layout to be a good car. Please... the FWD bashing is getting a little tiring.

New Navigator, Escalade will duel for American

The Lincoln looks like a Remington Shaver. -
I've had XM for two years and love it. I don't even carry CDs in my car anymore.
-
better mileage is good.
-
it has the same output per liter as the old M3 engine, yet requires two turbos to do it.... how is this an improvement?

Hummer looking @ options for new entries to lineup

I think an H4 that competes with the Wrangler would be awsome! -
Agreed, final model year Cateras were actually fairly good in the reliability department. They're not speed demons, nor are they great on gas, but they are solid and handle very well.
-
I really don't think their current business model will work in the longrun. $30 for an XM receiver and $12.00 a month. It's GOT to cost them more then $30 for an XM roady or whatever. They don't require contracts like the Cell companies do and there is no way to go "over" on your minute, text message, or any other source of revenue then a few premium channels. But who really wants audio Playboy anyway?

Two words: Town Car

I took a ~1993 Grand Am Quad4 last night with the CTS.
-
What are you counting as a coupe? I count 5. Mustang Stratus Sebring Monte Carlo Grand Am/G6 and depending on what year it was, Cougar, Grand Prix and Alero

Because given the same tuning as the CTSv, the M3 should always out handle the CTSv simply because of is smaller size and weight. Meaning if they always insist on stackin the V against the M3.... it will always lose.

not new

We're talking about performance here. The original article is talking about a possible 505hp for the CTSv. It's should be clear that with that engine and the handling the CTSv currently posseses AND it's size the M5 is Cadillac's target. With with 400hp the CTSv currently runs very well up against the M3 and previous M5.... enough to make driver skill the deciding factor. With 505hp the CTSv would murder an M3. This article is about performance, not legroom.

Has anyone else noticed the side to side shimmy that all the B-bodys from the 80s clear up through the 90s seem to exibit when going over small bumps at low speed? Years ago I had an '83 Caprice and noticed it. My buddy's 94 Roadsmasher does it too. It seems to be unique to this particular platform.

CTS-V + $20k at Lingenfelter = car that will woop an M5's ass for 10k less.
-
Simply wrong. Did you ignore my post earlier 68? 3-series 176.3 inches 15 inches shorter then the CTS!!! This is why the M3 and CTS-v should NOT be compaired directly. CTSv 191.5 inches 5-seriess 191.1 inches 4/10ths of an inch smaller then the CTS!!! STS 196.3 inches 7-series 198.4 inches
-
If the CTS started at 19k it would STILL be 5 series competitor. As I've said many many times before, the Mini-cooper and Crown Victoria share price points, but that does NOT make them competitors. The Lucerne overlaps the 3-series in price... competitors?
-
That doesn't make the CTS a bad 3-series competitor <which it clearly isn't bad against the 3-series, it's sells well and fairly close to sticker>, it makes it a good 5-series competitor.
