Seriously though, Cadillacs are Cadillacs for a reason.

The Deville DTS rocks. Big, cushy, comfy, nice power, a classic big American car. Wifey needs one... so I can steal it for long trips.

Lots of folks here don't like FWD, but unless I'm looking for a true performance car, I prefer it. Sorry, I've lived in Michigan almost my whole life, and you can preach that RWD is just as good as FWD in snow, but 33 years of experience tell me otherwise... and trust me, I've owned plenty of both!
If snow is the only detractor from getting RWD

Then i'm glad it doesn't snow here..

haha, i live in MN and i hate my car during the winter months! not only because the poor baby gets that ****ing salt all over it and is constantly dirty but also because it is A-S-S in the snow~!! ugh i wish i still had my grand am for the winter months, that car rocked for the snow! and it was FWD. FWD+ good snow tires+ auto= best combo for taking on snow

Wouldn't AWD be better?

yea, i forgot about AWD and 4x4s... but that isnt USUALLY an option on a car neway, unless its and import... but yea AWD or 4x4 would be better than FWD no doubt

and yea driving backwards would be just like driving a forklift! i think i;ll give that a shot, see what the cops say, but that still wont solve the problem of it getting dirty!

I was going to buy the GTO, but the wife (who is 7 months pregnant) demands that I get a 4 door. So it is either a mid size SUV (We are probably getting a FX 35) or another DC. The Magnum SRT-8 is a four door wagon with a five speed auto, Hemi and is under 4000 lbs. Should be fun. I would prefer a Monaro clone from GM that didn't cost as much as a CTS-V. I can't see spending 50K for a car, for a little more than that, I would pick up a leasehold investment property. I hope Chevy makes the Trailblazer SS, I would get one of those.

The Trailblazer SS will be a great truck. We test drove them a while back, and I concluded it was a nice design except it needed the punch of a V8 to make it truly cool... well help is on the way, in the form of a honkin' V8
