Infiniti Sucks, Cadillac Owns...

Hehe, not really, but it got your attention.

I'll be getting a demo pretty soon at the dealership where I'm a finance manager. My question is, which vehicle should I pick for a demo? Why?Which Caddy?

Post by **Mr1der** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 6:14 pm

what, no CTS-V?

well I don't think that model is upon us yet, but it's coming!

I'd go with the Escalade, so's you can feel important, and ask random women if they want a ride and not get maced!

Im partial to the El Dorado with the crome spoke wheels and the gold plated curbfeelers. Can I get a fuzzy top put on the car?

Post by **Mr1der** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 6:14 pm

I want the car the pimp drove in Magnum Force...

Give me a chrysler Imperial any day. Ultimate pimp ride.

I want an SRX very, very BAD.

Did you see the road test of that thing at Willow Springs? WOW.

Post by **Mr1der** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 6:14 pm

I want a CTS-V, 400 horses of Z06 derived goodness for around 55k complete with 6 speed manual

I hate GM but since were on the subject. I saw this Cadi sports car low two seat looking thing this morning. What the heck is it?

I have never seen this thing before. Of course i dont keep up with Cadi's. I think the guy driving it was with a dealership or GM.

Post by **Mr1der** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 6:14 pm

XTC or XLR or something like that

it has the first longitudal northstar, which is supposed to be a super tough motor. I can't remeber if the version in that one puts out more than 300, but I'm thinking it's in the upper 300's for some reason, doesnt have a manual transmission though, which makes it crappy in my book...I likes my manuals

what ever is AWD/RWD and not a SUV

Post by **Mr1der** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 6:14 pm

sadly, it's only the CTS...

Deville, and here's why:

Saw it last night. Kendall was throwing that SRX around like a sport sedan. I didn't see any 1/4 times, did they say what they were? I'm guessing low 15's.

Get the Escalade for the ladies.

Also, it could serve as a nice parts hauler if you need

Post by **Repo Man** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 6:14 pm

Hehe, I'm married. Chicks dig the Escalade that much though?

Post by **Repo Man** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 6:14 pm

How do you guys see the Deville? Is it an old person's car?

Post by **Rex** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 6:14 pm

First, it's a Caddy it IS an old persons car.

Ok, Went and looked at the pics and colors....

Deville in Crimson Pearl with either Dark Gray or Black interior.

Post by **Mr1der** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 6:14 pm

that's where the CTS comes in, it's the euro trash caddy, 5 speed 200+ horse power RWD drive fun, and it looks kinda like a stealth b0mber, I like it better than the Catera for the simple fact that it has more power and a manual, I personally like the look better but that's just me.

I'm just saying even though it's not a German car, you should still wear a ponytail, goofy suit and put in the annoying techno and go flog the car on some curvy roads then give us all an opinion on whether or not the car sucks.

Or get the Escalade and throw some big rapper style parties or cart you posse around everywhere with you

Post by **[Zero-S]** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 6:14 pm

I'd say get the CTS Andy. Then you can take it out on the highway and to the Matrix chase scene with your friends. Good times;).

Yup. Unless you consider my 77 yr old father-in-law a baby boomer. He bought a deVille a few years ago. Besides you have a ringside seat to see who's buying deVilles. Is it true 75% of DeVille buyers ask you for the AARP discount?

I'd personally like to demo an XLR but it ain't on your list.

Post by **AZhitman** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 6:14 pm

I love the DeVille. Looks like it's carved from a single chunk of metal. Glad you got to see the Tommy Kendall flogging of the SRX - I think it runs high 14's.

p.s. Ho's dig Escalades. Women dig Q's.

:ylsuper

I still think a M45/Q45/infiniti anything would be a better choice than a cadillac (except for the cadillac 16, that thing is unreal!)

Post by **Mr1der** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 6:14 pm

I dunno, other than the FWD V8, I really dig the styling of the Seville or STS or whatever they call it now, I wish they'd just give it a slight redesign with a slightly longer hood and wider wheel base and put the Northstar in it the way it should be.

but that's me:)

Post by **Aztek72** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 6:14 pm

Check out the new Cadillac CTS-V. It's getting a 420hp LS6 like the ones in the Vette Z06. Should make M5 owners nervous.

Hehe, I have not yet encountered the AARP discount. What is it supposed to be?

I would also like to demo an XLR, but I don't think that anyone will get one of those as a demo. Maybe the dealer principal, but it's not even released yet. I'm waiting personally for the CTS-V, but that's supposed to be limited production.

I turned a 16.4 at 83mph last weekend in the 240. I cleaned out the intake and throttle body with carb cleaner and removed the air silencer and the above time is down from a 17.3 at 76mph. Not bad for 198k stock single-cam! :ylsuper

cool, looks like bubba1 took good care of his car!

Post by **nuQ** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 6:14 pm

hey hitman,,,,,sure we're not related?????!!!!LOL

i agree, the deville looks like my choice,,,,,BUT,,,,my second choice. the only REAL caddy to consider is the 1969 deville convertible (can almost see that smile on your face right now hitman!!!).

TOP DOWN, BIG, POWERFULL, CLASSIC, FUN!!!!!

Post by **AZhitman** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 6:14 pm

Oh, YEAH, baby! Gotta love those stacked headlights.

I want mine in light blue metallic, with a white top, a 3" drop, and some 18" Boyd's wheels, with a white leather interior.

That's one of my Top 10 favorite cars ever built.

Post by **Jesda** » Fri Sep 12, 2003 6:14 pm

My eyes are partial to the Seville. My soul is partial to the CTS and CTS-V.

And if it snows where you're at, I just read a VERY good review of the SRX in hard weather.
