July 6, 20169 yr About time. The main thing I always disliked about the V Series cars in particular was all the bright chrome trim. Looks cheap and tacky. This is much better, though I'd still prefer gloss black. I'm back at a GM dealer that keeps a decent amount of V's in stock, and I have to say, they are growing on me. I can't wait to get the chance to drive one.
July 6, 20169 yr FRISKY!! Seems like I haven't seen much from you for awhile. Back at a GM dealership, eh? Mind if I ask which one?
July 6, 20169 yr Yeah, I kinda took break from forums and stuff for a while. Just other stuff going on. I'm at Elco over here in Ballwin. I love it so far. It's a great store with awesome staff. I told myself I wouldn't go back to a GM store, but I think I made a really good decision.
July 6, 20169 yr The whole monochromatic look that BMW and MB / AMG does to their performance line is what I thought Cadillac should have come out the gate with from day 1. Not everyone loves a ton of chrome. Mostly the baby boomers but they are not the large buying segment they used to be. I will admit that I love black chrome. that looks so classy on any auto.
July 6, 20169 yr So I love the Black Chrome rims: I could see all chrome bits being changed over to Black Chrome which gives you some flash but understated. Course for the Bright is better chrome lover, they can still go all out chrome!
