I dislike American automakers a lot, especially Ford and GM, but you can't deny the fact that they are cleaning their act up a bit, at least with Cadillac.

Not really, sure they are slightly with Caddy, but other models I've seen aren't so good. Take the Chrysler Sebring for an example.

It's more of a 'Point-A to Point-B' car than anything else.

Re: What car do you drive ?
It's hard not to laugh at that...
Re: What car do you drive ?
It is, indeed, a manual.
It's a '92 GS, so yes, it is the 92 HP 1.8L.

Re: What car do you drive ?
That should be a decent first car.. Pretty much every first car gets wrecked in some way, so who needs an expensive one. D:

Guys, argument based on taste... those never work. Thanks for the comments on the beemer though, I love it more than Audi, yes yes yes.Koenigsegg_Rox wrote:Not really, sure they are slightly with Caddy, but other models I've seen aren't so good. Take the Chrysler Sebring for an example.

Nice to see you again Urq.
A nice clean E90 you have, a decent mature car

Nono, I already did that in the Miata. :B Well, not wrecked, per se, but the front bumper got a bit chewed up, and the tires have to be replaced...PSZeTa wrote:That should be a decent first car.. Pretty much every first car gets wrecked in some way, so who needs an expensive one. D:

Re: What car do you drive ?
Well considering I'm not able to drive yet it's not really based on taste but rather reviews. And the Sebring is horrible apparently.UrQuattro wrote:Guys, argument based on taste... those never work.

Re: What car do you drive ?
If you base it on reviews, then the BMW E90 was the ugliest car in 2005. And the CTS is the Car of the Year in 2008.
I'm fine with that, as it proves my point.

Re: What car do you drive ?
Once again different countries= different review tastes= different answers. Take for an example the fact that just because it is Ausie means that the new VE Common-w***e took out MOTOR's BFYB (Bang for Your Buck) twice, Wheels Car of the Car and a horde of other awards against considerably better European rivals.

Re: What car do you drive ?
What's your point? I didn't mention anything about Holdens, just Cadillacs and BMWs.
In fact, it also supports the view that GM is improving their quality in next-generation vehicles.

Re: What car do you drive ?
My point is that because it's an Australian car, Australia automatically supports it no matter what even though there are better European cars out there. Which (possibly) should mean that America is the same with Caddy.
Oh and by the way, if there's any proof of your point, I'd like to see it.

Re: What car do you drive ?
You're joking me, right? The Holden VE Commodore is only available in Australia, which is probably the only reason why Australian magazines are the ones rating it...
American mags will get their chance once the Pontiac G8 arrives and it's almost guaranteed that it will get similar ratings as the VE Commodore. You shouldn't just assume it's being unjustly loved because of nationalism.
Name the point and I'll give you proof (Specify...).
