    I also preferred it the old way, but this is certainly workable.

    Looked over a really bitchin '64 Biscayne 4-dr sedan this morning, one that's been sitting since the early '90s. Loaded with manual steering & brakes & a I-6. And rust. Right up until I opened the hood I was positive there'd be a dual-quad 427 underneath. I mean... all the signs were there...

    Ahhh, young love! >>"keep it up bro"<< Sounds like that won't be a problem.
  4. >>CTS... too big to compete with anything smaller than the G35...<< For crap's sake can we get over this splitting of hairs on the overall length issue? CTS is 191" long, which is a mere 5" longer than the TL & G35. The very same TL & G35 are 10" longer than the IS300 and 325- are they likewise "too big to compete"?? Should they shrink also... or should the 325 & IS be stretched? The A4 is only 179"- too short to be competitive also? Why not average the lengths of all of these and mandate all future redesigns be within 2" of that average? WHAT EXACTLY IS THE INCH RANGE OF "COMPETITIVENESS" IN THIS SEGMENT?? Oh yea- there is no such thing. No one ever shops for cars with a tape measure! >>Lacking in engines that the overcompensation-minded luxury buyers really need to step to the S-classes and 7-series of the world (V-10, V-12, anything<< I agree: I would like to see a 'multi-cylinder' engine from Cadillac again, but at the same time the cars mentioned seem to be (from casual observation) 90% V-8s
