they had this wagon in silver and with less features at the san antonio auto and truck show last week. i asked a salesconsultant about the percentage of drivers who choose CTS's with manual transmissions. her response was "6%"

Yeah, I mean, 550+hp for under $63,000, and European suspension and handling. 40,000 less than the M5 with 43 more hp. I don't see why someone would get an STS-V, STS-V is heavier, slower, has 140 less hp, and costs $30,000 more, no wonder it is no longer sold.
WOW that sounds like a ripoff, I'm pretty sure the XLR-V was an epic fail as well in the market. I guess the STS-V would be for the "older " croud since it's much more luxorious, bigger etc.
Well, if you want a midsize sports sedan for 85,000 to 95,000, you might as well just get an M5, or a Mercedes E63 AMG, or even an Audi S6 or RS6, although I don't know if it is sold in the US.
But the CTS-V is in the class of small executive sports sedans with world-class V8's and cost from 50,000 to 70,000 dollars. Cars like this are the Audi S4/RS4, Mercedes C63 AMG, BMW M3, and Lexus IS-F. It comes with just as much stuff, and costs about the same, but has 100-156 more horsepower than any of its competitors. It fits more into the class of midsize cars that cost 80 to 100k, like S6, M5, Jag XFR, Merc E63 AMG, but has 50 more hp, and costs 20 to 30k less It's the best of both classes
It's all in the name really, BMW and Merc have made a name for themselves. When you tell someone you have a BMW/Merc/Audi they think you live wealthy life. I'm not saying that Cadillac is a poor man's brand but it just hasn't made a name for itself like the Germans have.
Just like Hyundai. But Caddy had a name for itself. Back in the 1950's-1970's, Audi was into different makers, and didn't have chromed expensive lead sleds, and BMW had the 501, 502, 2002, CSL, and that's about it. The only serious high end luxury car makers were Cadillac, Mercedes, and Rolls-Royce. Cadillacs were the US's Rolls-Royces, and Mercs costed about as much as Rolls. Cadillac was ultra-luxury. The 1957 Eldorado Brougham was more than the Rolls Silver Cloud, and had air suspension!
But honestly, "MUCH" better? Lincoln vehicles are very good. But here's a situation, would you choose an STS or an MKS? I'd go for an MKS even though I like Cadillac more in general.
Yeah, I guess so, but that's my opinion in how I think Lincolns are really ugly. And how come they hate putting V8s in their cars? I like the Town Car the same way I like the DTS. But I like Cadillac's abstracted angles and straight edges. It is a very Art Deco design, and a CTS would not look out of place in a Noir film. I can't believe Lincoln wants the MKS to replace the Town Car. It's alright, but why make a midsize sports sedan when you already have the MKZ? The Town Car is good already.
Yeah that's true, Cadillac designing is like nothing else, VERY unique.
MKZ is kind of small and the MKS is a lot bigger. Just for different segments in the market. I think the MKS will be more of a success than the Town Car was, this might take time though since the MKS was just recently released.
True, but the MKS must be roomy, quiet and supremely comfortable to replace the Town Car. The Town Car offers more room than the Maybach 57. I never thought the Mks WAS bigger. I thought it was a glorified MKZ. I need to rethink my opinions.
It's true, the MKS is a completely different car to the MKZ. I'm not sure but I think the MKZ is based on the Fusion. The MKS I guess would be based on the Five Hundred, again not sure.
Well I might be exaggerating there, but the Town Car Signature L offers more room than an S-class or 7-series. I like the colors on the MKS, but I still would rather have a Cadillac, though. Better design and nicer interior.
Still though more than an S-Class or 7-Series, that's pretty amazing. I dunno man, when it comes to the MKS, I would prefer it over any Caddy (besides the CTS-V). Even so, Cadillac has come a long way :)
Oh yeah, but when it comes to SUV's, I wouldn't have an Escalade or a Navigator. I would rather have a Range Rover or a Lexus GX460 or LX570. But the Escalade is pretty cool with its power running boards, power tailgate, power mirrors, cooled seats, and comfortable ride. I just prefer Japanese and British SUVs.
I would have to agree, I think the main problem with the Escalade and the H2 for example is that they are way too expensive, and to be honest aren't worth that price even with all that equipment.
If you want overpriced with no styling, get a G-Wagon. Everybody on youtube hates me with a passion and probably wants me dead for not liking the G-wagon. I just read a comment from some guy from Belize who said that it was my US constitutional right to be stupid, all because I called the G-wagon an overpriced box. Speaking of which, because he's from Belize, he's biting the hand that's feeding him. Amazing, and people think Americans are arrogant bastards with f-you attitudes.
Some people just don't realize that other people can have completely different opinions, and therefore think they are "stupid" if they don't agree with that person. I respect you opinion but I have to disagree with you.
The thing about the G-Wagon is that it may be a brick, therefore having NO aerodynamic properties whatsoever but people like it because of it's great off roading abilities and it's looks too. I would only have the G55, the regular G's are dog ugly.
Well I think that they are all look the same. But if I had to have a G-wagen, I would have the G500 custom cabriolet with the power folding top, only because it's awesome. I knew a tenth grader in my high school who had a G500. It was light metallic blue, and he didn't drive it all the time because it got 8 mpg. He drove his golf diesel or his Audi TT convertible most of the time. It 's something Arnold Schwarzenegger would drive, and Gelandewagen is also made by Steyr Magna in Graz, Austria.
Yeah, he is a hair stylist with a baby blue metallic monster SUV. You get what I'm talking about. He has 3 cars. He loves the G-wagen, and asked for one, and when he got his license, his parents got him one. The G-wagen is also appealing like a luxury Leopard 2 tank would be. So outlandish, and so much brawny overkill. Like gerry cans painted in metallic black and dripping with chrome trim. It has the charisma that the H1 never had. It is more rugged than an H1, but fancier than a Rangie.

This is THE American car I would have. I would take the sedan though. In either that red or black cherry.

I guess your right. I just wish most people would think of Cadillac being one of the top car brands. We certainly do.
carsaregood911 2 years ago
Yeah, and MUCH better than Lincoln. Which is better? An MKZ, or a CTS? You know what my choice is.
1bentley4ever 2 years ago
Same here.

It's kinda weird that the cts wagon and sedan all have the reguler key ignition. You would expect them to have the push button start feature.
