Now that is a merit that a lot of cars don't have. Including some of the guys car right in here.
You can have your wood dash and Nav.
I will keep my 6 speed, t-tops tire shredding goodness!

I still like some Cadillacs like the new CTS, the CTS V, Escalade and XLR. Hell thats more Caddy's I like that Lincolns. Just cause this is a Cadillac website doesn't mean we cant own and like cars other than Caddy's and it doesn't mean that we should like any shitbox JUST cause it wears a Caddy badge right?. This thread was about the new Challenger and then it became about how Mustangs suck and then how Mustangs and Camaro's suck and are for rednecks, blah blah. WTF?. C'mon Chad, get out of your car and go sit in a '94 STS. You wont be able to help but thinking "cheap" the whole time you are in it. |

That broke more stuff in the interior than any GM I have ever had. It's only merits? It was GM and Cadillac.
I will take a Mustang or F-body anyday.
I never asked anyone to like a Mustang or F-body, but you can't deny it does what it was built for. Move out realitivly good at a good price reliably.
There are a lot of cars out there that are asked to do that or try to do what was asked of the by Manufature/owner that just don't.
What do expect from base V8 Pony cars that stickered at 22,000 bucks?
The huge following they have and the Thumbs up I get when driving the WS6 must say something about their popularity.
Damn how many post does it take to get some Casino cash?

I will keep my 6 speed, t-tops tire shredding goodness! | At the end of the day the V8 musclecars keep us young!. It aint about tranquility and smoothness. Its much more fun laying a 15ft patch of rubber shifting into 3rd gear!. Driving the '96 S320LWB I bought recently was nice but not fun. While driving it I thought to myself, which should I sell? The Cobra or the Benz?. Benz was gone just hours later. Damn fine cars the W140's are, beautiful craftmanship. I hope the S420 I may be getting is a bit quicker. |

| I know where you are coming from. I cant remember the last time I got so much praise for a car. At gas stations, "nice Cobra man". At school when I pick up my daughter I've had several fathers comment on the car and at pre school when I pick up my son I've had several moms say there kids thought the car was so "cool". Totally unexpected but still cool.  |

It says 'Cadillac(s)' (and you seem to have missed that). I was honest and listed the ones I have owned.
But hey if you want to discuss the cars in our profiles, I'm game. Quote: |

The 14 year old Seville has been <gasp> reliable with 120k on the odo and is great for the occasional long drive or trip. I would wager that it still churns out nearly all of it's advertised 295hp too, which I have heard is more than could be said of your Cobra brand new. Quote: |
