The Cadillac Forums Lounge / Member IntroductionsOnly non-Cadillac discussion goes here. Cadillac discussions belong elsewhere. New members, please take a moment to introduce yourself.
You know who else likes Challengers? And Camaros? And Mustangs? And Firebirds? Oh yeah, thats right.....
Joe dirt is alright,
Also people who have had
A CTS, which compared to my WS6 or a Mustang the build quality was questionable for what you payed for.
Sometimes you guys are as goofy as I am with my GM thing. If you think anything Cadillac made before say 05 has a better build or reliability then an F-body or Mustang,
I am not even going to argue with you.
Typically F-Bodies and Mustangs take a beating a hell of a lot better than most cars.

But, but, but.........they are reliable, fun and fast and are built at least as well as your Cadillac (if not better). Not to say thats good, its actually shameful for a Cadillac not be screwed together better than more sedate cars. Mustangs also have better resale value, especially the V8's. Dont have all the toys but reliablility goes a long way with me. Two should not be compared as they are way too different for comparison but since you think you are holier than thou for driving a 14 year old Cadillac with a bad reputation, what the hell right?.
Wow Destroyer, you are starting to sound like um someone I know.
Hmmm Me.
Cool, lets see if your thread can get to be as long as mine was.
White/Tan would be the perfect color for a W140 for me.
Nah, dont think it'll be as long as yours was. Just the normal amount of people telling ya a Caddy is better than the Benz and all that. White/tan was nice but the outside was white with gray bottom and I hate that but its easy to paint the bottom half.

We've owned them all so we speak from experience. Anyone cruising around in a pre-05 Caddy thinking the car is superior to ANY other vechicle is fooling themselves. I HATE bashing Cadillacs but damn, they haven't built anything worthwhile since the last Brougham. I like and would own a CTS-V but the interior is more Cavalier than Mercedes. The newer stuff...........time will tell. I do value reliablility and Cadillacs SHOULD be the most reliable cars GM sells but they are amongst the worst. Fbody's and Mustangs aren't the best built cars but I swear they are NOT inferior to a Caddy. They should be inferior to a Caddy though.
What is this, Consumer Reports? Your argument for the Mustang has fallen back to reliability?
Some of the greatest cars in the world need to be maintenanced daily.
If a car has no other merits, why would you want it to last? Good riddance and all that...

Very well said and to Goth, no it isn't Consumer reports, that is why people here actually have Cadillacs and Some of us like Mustangs and Camaros.
What we expect when we get a "pony" car is reliabilty and the ability to make an ass ton of 1/4 mile passes and full throttle spurts without breaking.
I hate to bash GM but that is something a lot of Caddy motors except for the LS6 LS2 which gasp were based off the LS1 are not going to do.

Actually its that I think the only current car more redneck than the aforementioned is a Monte Carlo. I think they come with a lifetime supply of Marlboro Reds and 2 Neckcar pit passes.

No, it'll dust yours and pick up more girls too (if need be).

Dont know, why is your Caddy still on the road?. Now why dont you go ahead and tell us all why your car is better again?. Besides that it breaks as much as a Ferrari and all that.
