"First off, let’s lose the bilge water about what auto rags have written. They far too often stack the deck one way or another for their opinions to really mean much as a general statement." Most auto mags like BMWs so I dont get your point. Are you saying we should disregard their opinions when they praise BMW products, or just Cadillacs? Just want to get clarity. ... Read More...

2008 Cadillac CTS

Re: We need some road tests [rockylee]

Written by: markcincinnati on Feb 27, 2007 05:51 AM

STS's were "routinely" -$9,000 from MSRP then there were low low low money factor leases, inflated residuals and soon the MSRP of the STS and the TCO were down in Chevy land around here. We all want a bargain basement Bimmer? Maybe. Many of the 2007 CTS's "on the lot" are already at $39K -- these have no nav systems and other than the optional extra cost paint and a sunroof, ...

I am tempted even at this early stage to give you a qualified "I agree." Even if it is NOT THE ELLPS benchmark, it has to be a high water mark for Cadillac. I am very interested if the price point stays at a number beginning with a $4 -- Cadillac made the STS, the one that I would've selected, impossible to configure at a number lower than one beginning with a $6, despite ...

2008 Cadillac CTS

Mark, Please stop with the hawg wash !!!! You speak so much about generation behind and how the 08' CTS has 2005 content. Please start naming off important features found on the Acura TL, Infiniti G35, BMW 335i, Lexus IS 350, that aren't on the 08' CTS ???? PLEASE I'M ALL EARS.....Hell some of those models I mentioned like the Infiniti G35, 335i, came out in MY 2007. ... Read More...

The CTS has been characterized as "last generation." I noted that the CTS has adopted current generation (i.e., 2005 vintage) LPS content. I lamented that the CTS as a 2008 will come to the market with 2005 content. The entire thread of the recent posts jumps between LPS and ELLPS cars for the reason that some folks contend the CTS is or will be with the 2008 car ushered ... Read More...

"Its announced features and content bring it to par -- but the other guys will either refresh or replace within one MY or concurrent with the CTS's coming to market. " Wrong. The C class is not even out yet, the IS was new for 2006, the G35 was new for 2007 and the 3 series was JUST improved for 2007 with the 300hp engine. The CTS' competition is very new and dont look for ... Read More...

markcincinnati, I honestly enjoyed reading your posts but like plekto said the content of it isn't true. You slip in some smiles about how nice the CTS, is but at the same time you are reaching around with a knife stabbing it in the back. The fact remains the Bimmer's, Audi's, Mercedes, you love and adore so much don't come close in reliability, warranty, cost of ... Read More...
