Cadillac vs. BMW at The New York Car Show

[The Tony Show]

Because you've turned a conversation about rear leg room into something else entirely. I didn't bother to look at every single measurement on the Lucerne because it's a much bigger car than the STS in practically every way. Are there one or two measurements in the STS that are slightly bigger than the Lucerne? Yep. You got me. Congratulations. I omitted the word "practically" in the post you quoted above, and yay you for calling me out on it. I'll print you a certificate proclaiming you the coolest guy on the whole Internet.

None of this changes the fact that your original post whining about the STS having less legroom than a Lucerne was stupid because the Lucerne is a much bigger car than the STS. All you're trying to do now is find some tiny piece of inaccurate info I posted to distract from your own idiocy.

Looks like a great place to retire to.

Looks like there's a lot more room there than Seville.

Wow. They share their audio system with Rolls. Talk about exclusivity! Not to mention a lot of credibility for Hyundai.

In French Canada, Lacrosse is slang for masturbation, therefore the car is called the Buick Allure up north.
