Bruce Nunnally Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Chicago: The Day “A few years ago, you couldn't see us in your headlights, and now no one has to apologize for owning a Cadillac,” said Jim Taylor. The Cadillac general manager made a trip to, appropriately, the Cadillac Club at Soldier Field to let the Midwest Automotive Media Association know that with its 2006 lineup, “We've completed Round 1, and Phase 1 of our renaissance is over.” http://www.theday.com/eng/web/news/re.aspx...7A-10E2C5951AF1 Motortrend posted a new 2006 CTS review for Intellichoice here: http://motortrend.com/roadtests/intellicho...06_cadillac_cts The first impression of the interior--especially in all black--is of a stark European office, with monochromatic surfaces and a center stack that protrudes from the dashboard like a rack of electronic gear. It's an interior that demands a leather jacket and driving gloves from its owner, in all but the tan "Light Neutral" palette. While the extension of the audio and climate-control systems toward the driver lends a claustrophobic feeling, the CTS actually has more legroom than competing Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz models.

Bruce Nunnally Posted August 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 STS-V & XLR-V on the way out. The Escalade is in redesign now? I was reading how they are inviting hip hop stars and sports idols in to design reviews to see what they suggest. Then the CTS redesign in 2007 for the 2008 model year?

etcxtc Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 General Motors is missing the target by inviting hip hop artists and pro athletes into design discussions. They are a very small niche of Cadillac buyers. Why not invite some of the people that have driven their product for years who truly appreciate the product. Not everybody wants a Cadillac that looks like those awful slammed DUB units! Just my two-cents. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
