Comments on: Next Cadillac CTS-V to get 600 horsepower? http://www.leftlanenews.com/next-cadillac-cts-v-to-get-600-horsepower.html Car news, reviews, and specs for the auto-industry Mon, 9 Nov 2009 02:19:11 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: miloses http://www.leftlanenews.com/next-cadillac-cts-v-to-get-600-horsepower.html/comment-page-3#comment-315544 miloses Sun, 01 Jul 2007 00:01:45 +0000 http://www.leftlanenews.com/next-cadillac-cts-v-to-get-600-horsepower.html#comment-315544 Why are there so many euro-babies on this message board? Why can't we all admire a car for what it is - something pretty remarkable in style and performance. I've driven german performance cars for the past decade (Currently a Dinan tweaked BMW E39 540) and I have to say that I'm looking forward to this car. I've driven the current CTS-V and say that its on par with any BMW or AMG Benz I've driven. My complaints are in the craftsmanship of the interiors, but the new models have fixed that. There was a time when american performance cars ruled the world, it might be time for a revival. Why are there so many euro-babies on this message board?

Despite the fact that they have Mercedes engines, they handle like shit and the mufflers need replacing after 2 years. That's not to mention weird electrical problems that needed resetting of the computer board, erasing all previous logged mileage on the odometer. Having said that, driving one of these on a 1 meter flooded street while splashing dirty water on stranded sedans really put a smile on my face. “What’s the problem with Ssangyong?

I did read it, and I did see the CTS was top pick. Doesn't look too good for the rest of the lineup though does it? Also proves that GM's so-called "return to greatness" is a crock. The ride is far from over and based on this it appears it's "Business as usual" in good ol Detroit. No amounts of cheerleading is going to change the fact that GM's ship is FAR TOO big to assume it's made a full turnaround from 30 years of crap. Maybe it's time for another "Road to Redemption" ad campaign... Yup, GM and especially Caddy blew it big time. No more touting that stellar quality. Look at Mercedes! How many times have we read that Benz is in the toilet. Guess, Caddy is in the sewer then... And even worse, it doesn't look too promising for the NEW CTS that is set to make an entrance in the next few months. Might want to hold on to your old one there CTS... BTW, what are you 12? Your hissy fits are throwing off your age. You have every right to post your opinion, but your approach comes off kinda childish. LOL kid, truth hurts now doesn’t it?

Guess what America's RESOUNDING success is....business. GM isn't in the business of making cars like Aston Martins or Ferrari's. They just aren't, so stop trying to compare Cadillac to these "soul brands". If you want to start playing compare the Willy, then why not include GM's sales figures compared to Aston? Maybe Aston needs to get their head out of their ass and realize that not everyone can afford a $100k+ car. GM figured that out. So did Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, and many others. Oh wait, maybe that's because Aston isn't trying to compete in that market. So STFU about GM not making cars that compare with other 'soul cars'. If it was good business, GM would make a division that is about 150 notches above Cadillac and produce vehicles that make Maybachs, Bentlys, Ferraris, and Astons look like golf carts. It's just a matter of business, and GM is not in the business of producing those kinds of cars. But rest assured, if they wanted to put about 10 billion dollars into a program that hires the best designers and engineers, and did all of the proper research, they would kick some serious ass. But they don't have 10 billion to throw around to try and sell cars in such a SMALL market...... Aston, just like you say you need to look at the whole package when it comes to a car, you need to look at the whole package when it comes to business.

Maybe Aston needs to get their head out of their ass and realize that not everyone can afford a $100k+ car. GM figured that out. So did Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, and many others.

Oh wait, maybe that’s because Aston isn’t trying to compete in that market. So STFU about GM not making cars that compare with other ’soul cars’.

If it was good business, GM would make a division that is about 150 notches above Cadillac and produce vehicles that make Maybachs, Bentlys, Ferraris, and Astons look like golf carts. It’s just a matter of business, and GM is not in the business of producing those kinds of cars.

But rest assured, if they wanted to put about 10 billion dollars into a program that hires the best designers and engineers, and did all of the proper research, they would kick some serious ass. But they don’t have 10 billion to throw around to try and sell cars in such a SMALL market……

Then revise your judgement about crap cars, rerone. Comment by Aston Martin, posted on June6 at 2:35 pm What's the problem with Ssangyong? Is it because it's korean? they make pretty decent 4X4s rerone, said it all. when i look at the hyundai sonata i know its not a great car, the style is stolen from past-gen accords and camrys, but it just doesn’t scream “cheap”, as most hyundais used to.

Its not about about who owns who and who has the most sales, its about the passion that goes into the car. The American cars of old were great. I know the Americans can build good cars, I mean, look at all the other things you built. Its just that you seem happy with some low-cost piece of crap which will make the executives money. Its not about building cars for money, its about building cars for the sake of it, because you like it. An Aston is designed with passion. So is a Ferrari, or a Maserati, an Alfa or a Bugatti or even the Ford GT. There is something special in them. These are the world's truly epic, unforgettable cars, the ones we will look upon and remember as the cars of the early 21st century. I can assure you that the average Cadillac or even BMW won't be.
