I didn't say it was exactly the same... I said it felt the same. As in felt the same to me
Why all the negativity. You guys are almost as bad as BMW 3 series owners who call all 3 series's junk if they are not 335i's, lol. For a daily driver, which will also do just fine in the snow thanks to the AWD, I am very happy! If anyone wants to fund a trade in and upgrade to an "N*" the only STS's that matter (even though Caddy cut the N* from the 2011 model) I am open to donations ;-)
I missed having a sedan, and found the STS to be a great bargain thanks to its unbelievable depreciation! Added a GM extended warranty and nothing to worry about for the next couple of years.
My weekend/long trip driver is a 2007 LandRover LR3 HSE with a nice big beefy V8 that gets much better gas milleage than the N* and as good as the V6 DI.
