I hope caddy does nothing. The DTS and STS are just as roomy and comfy as that thing is ever gonna get. They look a hell of a lot better too.

I wish people would stop calling caddys junk or the n*s junk because "they blow head gaskets, DER HUR HUR", please, what post 2000 caddy has had a big problem with head gaskets? They are both internal combustion engines, they do have compression, they are both suspect to head gasket failure. By the way, how the hell are you going to join a cadillac forum and then dog on cadillacs all day. Find something better to do. I'll take a caddy n* with 100+K over a 4.6 ford with 100+K anyday. Well, hold on, the ford engines are alright,............as boat anchors.

So an engine that has a large history of blowing head gaskets all of the time shouldn't be considered junk? You're right, it's one of the best engines out there

Ask ryannel2003 that one

Since when has the 4.6 Ford V8 had a history of blowing head gaskets as bad as the Northstar?

The 4.6 has had a few blunders along the way but all have been covered and fixed. For who the Town Car appeals to, the 4.6 is adequate in power. Not great, but OK. I will say that the driving dynamics and power of a N* is more appealing. But the 4.6 is about as bulletproof a motor as there is and for guys like me, that is a huge + ...
