Re: Cadillac vs. BMW at The New York Car Show

Here are afew key posts that should shed some light on what's actually been said here:

I'm not insinuating that these two ARE direct competitors, they just happened to be close to each other on the floor, and therefore "seemed" a close comparo.

3 inches more both leg room and shoulder room in the Lucerne- it's a bigger car.

The Lucerne is bigger in every measurable category. I don't see why it's so hard to grasp why a car built on the DTS platform has more room than a car built on the CTS platform.
(Please take note of the sentence in bold italics above)

With any luck, this may clear up my stance here but in the case that anyone here still feels that I haven't been consistent in this thread, please point out how.
