I think it was awful...

I would buy 7 B-body Fleetwoods and put them in storage till I needed them.

On my drive back from Detroit yesterday, an Impala LS and I were pacing each other. I don't know if it had the 3.5 or 3.9, but he didn't seem to have any trouble keeping up with me in the CTS.

The VW Diesel of that time was rated at 90 hp but it had 155 lb/ft of torque at 1900 RPM. It's performance was roughly equal to the 2.0 gasoline from VW except in the fuel mileage department.

The DTS does a better job at what it's supposed to do.

Uh.... you're in a car, he's on foot.... what does he expect to be able to do? You coulda just rolled your window up even.

It's not that they are discounting the Tahoe specifically. It's $2000 towards any vehicle except Saturn, H1, V-Series Cadillacs, Saab, and apparently Cobalt and the Kappas.

yumma..... but we've been over that ;-)

Anyone around at the NAIAS give me a buzz. Just PM me I'll give you my cell number.

Aveo Colorado Uplander ?

.... but where do I configure the Warp Drive? There are so many buttons and little flashy things....

Hey, where at? I'm only an hour and a half from BV.

I was hoping to meet some of you a NAIAS, but now I'm going on Monday it sounds like I'll miss all of you.

Well the 5W-30 Mobile One that the Cadillac dealer puts in my car is for Cadillacs only. If you put it in anything else the engine will blow up. Now there ARE cars that take very odd oil specs. My boyfriend's Passat V6 takes some weird weight that only comes in synthetic <that I can find> and is listed as heavy duty diesel engine oil. Here's a plan, call the dealer where he gets his Mazda serviced. Find out what brand oil they use. It'll be one of the big companys... Pennzoil, Mobile, Quaker State, etc.

People in france die when it gets up to 89 degrees..... have they never heard of ice tea?!?

A top-o-the-line GrandPrix GXP is right around the same price as a moderatly equipped CTS. As long as you get the 3.6, you'll have plenty of power.

When I sit behind the wheel of this: I feel like I'm sitting at the helm of the starship Enterprise.

I'm sure the knobs on the Toyota are more fun to twiddle though.

As a homosexual male, I'd have to agree.

I'm not sure how GM "botched" the STS. It's just understated and conservative. There isn't anything wrong with it, it's just not as flashy as an Audi. I only drove a Seville STS as a loaner while the CTS was in for service. My biggest gripe is with that throw pillow they call an airbag.

I'm not sure if I should be insulted or not.

What is the point of 380 hp if you can't even park the car yourself? The point of having multiple gears is to keep the engine in it's powerband. This is mostly important for I4s and V6s. Big V8s with lots of power don't need lots of gears in everyday driving. Skipshift in the Corvette proves it. The 4000lbs. '94 Roadmaster hardly downshifts to get up a hill here in Western PA. It does just fine with a 4-speed and still manages to be an 8 second car designed in 1993. 8 speeds = more &#036;h&#33; to break or penis envy.

The other day when I was at the local GM Megaplex, there was an elderly lady sitting in an absolutly mint condition 1974 Plymouth Scamp 2 door hardtop. It was like this car.

Why?
