I wanted to know how well you thought cadillac (namely seville and deville) stacks up against the competition, that is, other luxuary cars. Here is a brief list of cars that i thought of off the top of my head, and all these are assumed to be latest model unless otherwise stated. There is going to be many cars with higher price, because i think that cadillac can compare with these
Lexus LS400/430
MB S class
Lincoln Town car
Audi A8
Jaguar XJ series
BMW 5/7 series
Infiniti Q45
Lexus LS 400/430
These are just a few that i have thought of, please include more if you think there are.
Overall, i think a cadillac is very comprable in the area of performance, although there are some where it is faster and some where it is slower. As far as comfort, I think that there is almost nothing better than a cadillac. Sure, there will be other "conveniences" (like power headrests and pointless stuff like that) in other cars, but overall comfort is second to none. The only thing i see them lacking in is build quality, although i have to say that they have improved over the past 5 years or so. I think that is what seperates them. Back in the 80s when cadillac made their "turn for the worst", I think that took a lot off their name. If you want to be known by what you drive and you have money, they see that in a lexus or BMW moreso than in a cadillac.
I once took a M3 for a test drive and teh indian salesman was in the back seat i thought he was about to mess himself when i hit 140 and was powersliding around corners. doin tripple didgits and I looks down trying to put the shift knob back on had him worried every other shift he knob poped off poor guy
True, if I were a cop I wouldnt pull over a hearse, that would be way to creapy!!!
For that matter, i wouldnt want to be in the back of a hearse, thinking about how many dead people were back there. IDK, I would get over it really fast, but still for that moment it would be weird. It prolly is great for hauling crap around!
one of my teachers in middle school had about 10 cars, all were bought for less than 1000 dollars. That way, if it stopped running, he would just recycle them and the the money for the metal!
I forgot about the 760. I am sorry, I dont stay on top of the BMW lineup
But I agree, that could wipe any cad out there, stock vs stock. In america, it doesnt really pay to have that much power, except for bragging rights, but with the autobahn, i would get the most poweri could get!!!
Z3, cool car, but wouldnt want to drive one too often, because if i got in a wreck in that i would be toast. Just like a mazda mitata
