What if GM found a way to avoid the problem you mention. It was brought up as a concern on the '08 CTS and yet all of the reviews I've seen have been positive.

My issue with this article is the assumption that the middle class didn't get into this predicament all on their own by trying to appear rich. When to be "comfortable" one is required to have a 5-bedroom McMansion <for 2 adults, 2 kids>, 3 car garage, 2 luxury SUVs, boat, designer clothes, all starbucks all the time, multiple flat panel TVs, all financed to the absolute max....... it's really time to go over that priorities checklist again.

how did you of all people forget GMC?

Hybrid Tahoe G8 GXP Sky Red-line Lucerne CXS GMC Yukon XL <then trade it on an Enclave> CTS 3.6DI manual H3 <then trade it on an Escalade EXT> Saab 9-3 convertible Holden Statesman Opel Astra twintop diesel manual yeah, I cheated, so what?

on the Fastlane blog there is quite literally a guy who says he won't buy Cadillacs anymore because all his previous ones gave him trouble.... and his last one, a 198x Cimirron was the worst. Tell me sir, how was that 1979 Toyota for you?

you could kick some ford ass with a VW Touran TDI...... so doing it with the GP isn't saying much.

and how does she like it now?

are there any Prius-es that are on their 3rd set of batteries?

Best Month EVAR! no... wait.

I loved the W-body, I really did. However, I feel it's best years are behind it. Given the choice of a slightly used Intrigue or a new Lacrosse CXS, I'll take the Olds. In previous generations, I liked at least one model of W-body from each division. Today, the only one even remotely on my radar would be an upper end Impala. I don't really mind the overhang at all. I'm just giving ya hell. My guess for the overhangs you're seeing would be the Citroens. The larger sedans have a front overhang that would make a W-body blush.

Oh yeah, I hadn't noticed you were in NJ. No Camaro for you.

Only from the front wheels back. The front overhang will be in France.

shhhhh... I'm tryin to help you out man.... just play along.

Soylent Green-line?

personally, I think you should go for another used monte cheap and wait for an '08 Camaro.

YONKERS, N.Y., Aug. 30, 2007; With proper care, many of today's cars can last 200,000 miles or more, and owners seeking to limit repair costs by trading in their vehicle every three to five years may lose out on thousands of savings, says Consumer Reports October issue.

Duh Link.

more silly employee expenses by GM :nono: probably would have been cheaper for them to just give you an 07 CTS company car.

How much did it cost to ship it?

No, they wouldn't have been better off because you'd still be in here harping about it and you're the only one who seems to care. They gave you more control than a Ford Edge but less than your CTS.

never ever put that large of a down payment on a lease. If you still have college to go to, skip the '08 for now. Get a CPO CTS.

The E-flex design is basically a railroad locomotive setup with a battery. and Tesla Roadster does 200 miles to a charge with a smaller set of batteries.

Not ultrarare... just the Euro-spec diesel version.

his and hers B-59s?

I can't wait to zip down the autobahn in my CTS-D watching the other drivers lips read "Was ist das?"

awesome.... I'm wondering about pricing though. the 159 being in 3er territory would work, in 5er territory it wouldn't sell.
