Hey Olds, How tall are you? In regards to one of the other questions posted, the fit and finish is excellent. I test drove an AWD version at the Dougs Northwest Cadillac and Hummer dealership yesterday here in Seattle Washington. It drives great, they had added on the OEM Roof Rack to this one as you need it for skiing. Sadly, if you are over 6 feet tall, NO ONE can sit behind you. I am 6'6" tall and the seat had to be all the way back, this left a measured 3" of room between the front seat and back seat. No way anyone can sit back there. In regards to 3 adults. If they are all around 5'10" tall and narrow shoulders then yes, you can fit 3 back there. In my family everyone had broad shoulders and so only two people can sit back there. Love the extra storage capacity in the floor board in the back. Like Olds stated, very good visibility. Surprising for such a large D pillar. This car will be perfect for young families as well as established families as long as no one is long legged and over 6' tall. Otherwise there is NO room for people to sit in the back. My observation of the back seat is that Cadillac should have had the seat about 3" more back which would have given it proper leg room. Otherwise, the 3.6 AWD CTS Wagon is great, my test drive included freeway driving and passing and it moved very well. Since OLDS said the RWD handled very well in the snow, I will imagen that the AWD if I had gotten a chance to drive it in snow would have stuck like glue to the road. Have a safe trip Olds, way to go on the test drive. :smilies-38096:

About time a tree hugging Prius moron hit one of the bigger moronic bike riders that think they own the roads. When they start paying a license for the bike to be on the public roads and have to have licenses that say they really do know how to drive their bike then they can have some of the road with their own bike lane. Till then they need to get the hell out of my way and off the roads that I helped pay for with my tabs and other vehicle fee's.

As has been stated, sad that GM wasted so much money on Saturn when they could have focused on their core brands way back then and had something even better today. Over all the Saturn line just never had any passion nor did it stir anything in me to want to go out and buy one of their auto's. Sad to see so many loose jobs and those that built dealerships with millions of dollars loose out, yet better to do it sooner and get it over than to wait and drag things out. Just proves our depression is far from over here in the US.

I will take a wait and see attitude.

Sweet Ride, would be worth it to get and keep with the charger kit. Clearly the boys father has a talent and the kid needs to learn to smile.

EXCITEMENT!!!

Go here to see each persons photo and a little Bio about themselves. Kardashians info web page!

After thinking about all the woman, they are all beautiful in their own special way, but the one that really stands out is Kim. Totally a Venus Goddess. Her latest beach pictures are just amazing!

What a waste of metal, this is a tool auto with no real usability other than to drive. It will sell due to Honda's name but it will be their Aztec as after the initial demand is met, it will die off. Sadly more and more CUV and SUV's are loosing interior room for some kind of Art statement. I love the look of my 94 GMC Suburban and the room is amazing. I can drink a can of pop and empty it with tilting my head back where my newer 2006 Escalade I cannot as it does not have the head room. Come to think of it, just about any of the newer auto's I have I cannot drink in them like I can in my suburban except my H2. Big and Roomy and sadly will be the last of any real full size SUV's. So I think I will end up driving older auto's do to the lost of room so that some Engineer Art student can make or try to make stupid art statement. Over all this auto is Ugly

I actually can see circle LED tail lights on a properly done Eco box car. No reason to have bland single bulb tail lights. His teacher does want him to think futuristic and wild.

Personally, there is no reason in my mind that you could not take the awesome agressive look of the CTS-V and make an Econo box size auto that would grab peoples attention. So that means the following list of must have to look mean. Fender flares, Hood bulge or Hood scoop. Dual exhuast in the back HID Head Lamps or LED Low profile tires, not run flates, but instead of 13" rims with really flexible tires, maybe 17 or 18" rims with a tire that only has a 2" side wall. Turbo 4 banger under the hood Racing style tail lights 3 1/2" ground clearance I hope you get the Idea of what I think would sell well in an Econobox size car.

Sorry to rain on your thoughts of possibly buying this lux SUV, but they still are FORD, Fix or repair Daily. Unless you can afford the extended warranty from the Land Rover dealer and make sure it is a bumper to bumper, you will get nickeled and dimed to death as they have a high failure rate for so many things. You can do better with a Escalade or Navigator, they both are far better SUV's than the Land Rover and yes I do realize that Mercury is part of Ford, but they still are more reliable and lower cost of ownership. If you feel you must have a European then look at the VW Tourage that is much better and find a diesel as they rock, you can also go to BMW or Mercedes as they are a bit better in the reliability department compared to Land Rover but they are very expensive to repair and to do the basic Maintenance on. I strongly suggest American SUV if you want reliable, inexpensive to repair SUV. My Escalade, Hummer and Suburban Rock!

This Thread is too Funny! DF nice work on what you have done for others.

PORT Yes the Portuguese have nice cheese, but even better Port's. For those that do not know what a PORT is, this is a Dessert wine that is amazing to sip.

I totally agree with all you stated.

Summer Time!

Personally I see no down side to this. If you have the steady job, can afford the payment and want a new auto, then go for it as there is plenty of great options and deals out there. Plus your own buying does keep people working so you are helping keep the economy moving. Please post pics of the new ride if you do it, would love to see what you choose and in what color.
