Re: We have to get it together in the US [tntmyth]
Written by: lykourinou on Jan 11, 2008 8:36:49 PM
But lately we have noticed that some of the GM cars are looking pretty impressive, namely the Cadillac CTS, Chevy Malibu, GMC Acadia, Saturn Vue, Saturn Outlook, Saturn Aura, Buick Enclave. Also some of the Fords look good, like the Ford Edge, Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Mercury Milan. I agree completely Americans are starting to build better vehicles, The only 2 American cars that I would ever purchase would be the ... Read More

Since its been on sale the 2008 CTS has outsold the C class, TL, IS, A4 and G35. I would say the car s doing just fine and will continue to do so....Read some of the consumer reviews right here on this site, many owners have traded in European cars. Would you be so kind to post a link to back this up? I did a little research and this is ... Read More

"General Motors has announced the recall of 276,000 vehicles. The recall is due to a faulty pinion seal, which can cause fluid leaks. The recall affects the 2005-07 Cadillac CTS, CTS-V, SRX, STS and STS-V; 2006-07 Pontiac Solstice; and 2007 Saturn Sky. " That's the last thing they need at this crucial point. Hopefully they can get this problem fixed and it'll be the only problem for the CTS. I personally ... Read More

"We have no proof that GM has been making poor quality vehicles across the board for 30 years." Across the board? There is no evidence. We do know that GM quality wasnt as good as Toyota quality in the past but that is not the same as saying every GM product ever made in the last 30 years was junk. My personal experience and the experiences of other car owners I ... Read More

2006 STS
Written by: jvette on Mar 5, 2007 6:45:13 PM
I found a 2006 STS in Silver a couple of weeks ago at Quantrell Cadillac in Lexington, KY. It was a true factory car where a factory rep drove it. It was put into service in December of 06 and had 6500 miles on it and could be certified for about $30,000. I think they would have taken $29,000 for it if I had pushed but my wife decided she wanted ... Read More

Re: STS Rebates [merckx]

Hey merckx. It appears as though Edmunds is no longer listing the incentives that are available on leftover 2006 models on this site. General Motors is definitely still providing $6,000 dealer cash on the 2006 Cadillac STS. If I was in the market for this car right now, I personally would offer dealer invoice minus the dealer cash. Dealer invoice for a base '06 Cadillac STS without any options is $39,074. ... Read More

Hi merckx. Are you talking about the 2006 model. General Motors is currently providing $6,000 dealer cash plus $750 bonus cash, $6,750 total, on the 2006 Cadillac STS. If you want to pay cash for or finance an STS, the '06 model is the way to go, but if you want to lease you should go with an '07 model. Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum

Re: February 2006 Sales – Midsize Luxury Sedans: [markcincinnati]
Written by: brightness04 on Mar 3, 2006 4:43:33 PM
Nice as they are, they are NOT currently in the LPS class. The cars you noted are Near LPS cars. Would agree with you a decade ago, but nowadays, the cost of leansing of 525i has pretty much reduced that car to the Near LPS price range thanks to lease subsidies. As we know, the 5 series is the grand daddy of LPS segment, and the majority of 5 series on ... Read More

Indeed, Audi and BMW (not to slight Acura, Infiniti or Lexus, by any means) seem to be on a tear: o awards out the wazoo, o improving sales (record sales, in fact), o a great pipeline of products current and near term, o a decent if not stellar global economy and o lots of warm fuzzies from the pundits (and us amateurs.)

Acura's RL Sales?
Written by: markcincinnati on Feb 2, 2006 4:59:50 AM
With the apparent forward and upward momentum of several of the cars in the LPS segment (speaking of units sold in January, 2006) what happened at Acura? Price? Performance? Subventing (or lack thereof) of leases? Bad rep in the marketplace? And what has happened in general to prices? When I started down my current path, I had actually decided the Infiniti M was the way to go since it was substantially ... Read More

My two choices in this segment at the end of June were the A6 and the M35X (since there was no 530 or 525 "x" version and no manual transmissions anyway.) I did feel the A6 over the M35X was still "more Germanic" (Doh!) and I think (hope) you take my meaning, get my drift, etc -- for I certainly know that one is from Japan and one from Germany.

1. Yes, a few hundred dollars more perhaps. The FWD 3.6 is probably also different from the RWD version. 2. Yes there are additional features. However, they may only cost a few thousand to put on the car, so the profit margin is perhaps more than 100%. I, for one, am hoping for some RWD's from either Buick or Pontiac in a reasonable price range. I expect to drive my FWD ... Read More

Given that as of last week, according to: http://www.arifleet.com/production.html "Cadillac STS 1SC/1SF/1SG Pkgs. are on hold (MV3) AWD automatic 5-speed trans is on hold" And there appear to have been severe constraints on AWD most of the model year - when it was NOT 'on hold'. Thus, I expect that the V6 AWD will be slow in appearing at your local dealer. Theoretically, it will be available for the 2006 model ... Read More

no title
Written by: sls002 on Nov 2, 2004 8:29:56 AM
There is talk of the STS-V having a supercharged/turbocharged V8. I am guessing that the STS-V will be a 2006 model at the earliest. I would suggest talking with your dealer(s) to see what they have to say. Until Cadillac announces something, the dealers probably can't do much. However, they could put you on a "list", and call you when they know something.

My take...
Written by: sevenfeet0 on Jul 6, 2004 5:26:01 AM
I'm not sure I buy the argument that the STS is too expensive. I might have until you start learning what it costs to get comparable 545i and E500 models. Those guys are way expensive and Cadillac seems to have a comparable story here. The STS is also $5000 cheaper as a base car compared to the older Seville, but that car didn't have a V6 as an starter. The key ... Read More

Cadillac has came further than any other US carmaker. The new STS is beyond nice, and the DTS 2006/7 will be an evolutionary car. The V12, the last time I checked wouldn't not fit under the hood of the regular Cadillac passenger cars, only the SUVS, but that was like two years ago, changes may have been made since then.

The Truth

Cadillac will continue Deville/DTS, its the best seller, atleast until 2012, because the redsign is up for the 2006/07 model year. And maybe phase out by 2012. V or high performance models will be the STS, and Escalade. Maybe XLR (GM leaves that performance to the Vette) no GM car should out do the Vette, maybe GM has changed that idea. The High luxury SEDANS one for S/7/A/LS/XJ, hell even Lincoln ... Read More
