The current STS is not selling well. It is smaller than the car it replaced, and that reminds me of 1986, when Cadillac replaced the bustleback Seville, which was a big car that was popular and sold well, with a much smaller European-inspired car. That car did not sell well either. I think history is repeating itself. The XLR is a great luxury sports car, (Light-years better than Cadillac's last attempt ... Read More
2008 CTS-V

I've been reading some of the initial reports of this car since it broke cover. All I have to say is: "Whoa!" The old CTS-V was pretty much an afterthought. The original CTS was first penned in 1999 and by the time it shipped to dealers in January '03, it was considered Cadillac's last chance to be relavent, not the start of various cars based on this one. So when a ... Read More

I have owned over the past few years Cadillac STS's and several BMW 5 series and 3 series cars, all factory new. None of those automobiles can compare with the experience and comfort of ...

In terms of materials and workmanship, the Lexus SC interior is fully credible. It's design choices are a more controversial matter as is the look of the rest of the car. Unfortunately for the SC, it is not a serious car in any other sense. Performance relative to the class is mediocre, the car is unnecessarily soft, and it's styling is indecisively organic, as though the committee that designed it could ... Read More

The roof dumping rainwater into the trunk? Sounds like my '98 Corvette with Targa top. During a rainstorm, I had to stuff paper towels along the top of the driver's side window to stay dry. And don't get me going on what happened going through a car wash or the other reasons it was in the shop 13 times in the 15 months I owned it. I now drive a 2004 ... Read More
