The STS-V has been creating a small stir around here lately, and I'm going to assume as sales continue, the STS-V forum will look a little like the CTS-V forum. A lot of people aren't pleased with the performance of the STS-V against its competitors. I myself have agreed several times it's a poor competitor to the AMG and the M.
However, I realized something today. Cadillac has done something extraordinary in the past few years, when you step back and take a look. You at Cadillac have managed to completely re-image yourselves, and for that I applaud. You're building high-quality vehicles. You're building RWD vehicles. You've got a brand new target market that seems to think your vehicles are pretty cool. This is wonderful work, my friends at Cadillac.
I love my 90 Brougham 350 more than any other car I've ever seen, but I really like what you've been doing. It's not easy to totally change a brand like you have. I know I was hoping the LS7 would find its way into one of the new V's. I understand why the STS-V doesn't have one. The flagship Cadillac finally has a Cadillac engine again, not an LT-1 or L05. Again, the right move.
I'm anxiously awaiting the next few years to see what Cadillac brings. I think the ULS will truly be something special to behold, especially if a V-12 Cadillac engine or something of that nature is powering it. I know that Cadillac can't go from what it was to #1 overnight. I know that it will take years for you at Cadillac to do it, but you have the potential, and you're already beginning the process strongly. I have faith that within the next decade, Cadillac will become the Standard of the World again. All the work that's gone into the past few years is and will pay off. Creating the V family was something I never thought I'd see, and I'm sure I'm not the only person who feels this way.
The past few years have been hard on the American auto industry, yet Cadillac has still grown extraordinarily. When I got to finally digest my first CTS-V top to bottom, I knew it wasn't the Cadillac of the past 30 years, it was the beginning of Cadillac for the next 30. Thank you for all you've done and are doing. I believe that you're on the right path, and, while mistakes and things are made, you're ultimately doing a fine job of getting Cadillac back to where it rightfully belongs, on top.
Keep that build quality up, keep those designs sharp, keep those interiors inviting and loaded with wood! Keep those RWD coming. Keep high-powered engines coming. You're doing a great job. Stepping back and taking a look, I know great things are coming, even though we whine and moan here at Cadillacforums.com. I don't know if anyone who works for Cadillac will ever see or read this, but the thought is there. But you've got one driver of a 1990 Brougham who thinks you're doing great, loves what he sees, and hopes you'll keep it up. Standard of the World, my Cadillac friends, Standard of the World.
