    Now that is one fast grocery getter Grandma would look good in taking down to the Winn Dixie! Would be great to see Cadillac resume its former status as "Standard of the World." Latest offerings seem to be headed in that direction.

    Well this is really fitting. Just saw a repeat of the Top Gear(History Channel) where Rutledge lead a segment report on the Cadillac CTS-V. The wagon smoked a Ferrari in a drag race and actually beat its 2 door sibling in lap times on a controlled course. Rutledge was gushing praise all over the CTS and Cadillac especially the wagon. We know he's got a Roady, wasn't someone on here that knew how to contact him going to invite him to the forum?

    Somehow, I missed this first time around and have come in late.
    I love the fact that Cadillac is building this car, that it is the monster that it is and that the American Auto industry is gaining again in the eyes of Americans and in the eyes of others as well. And I'm a FORD guy.
    That being said I think they goofed on the rear end. I agree with Krash. Looks like they ran out of money for glass and just filled the back 1/4 (D pillar area) with metal. Not the most appealing design in my opinion.
    And since I mentioned opinions..
    I also agree with Fox, and I believe that relative new comers should have a little more tact and respect when dealing with forum veterans regardless of the topic of discussion.

    That, right there, should be illegal.

    Well put Xavier. As Garth Brooks said...

    I find that I am now in this boat all to often as well.
