I remember when a "flame" job was something that generally looked good. As bad as the Z4 turned out, the 7 and now the 5 make it look good! Evidently a massage of the 7's bodywork is due as early as next year.

They make an Aztec look downright decent.

I pray they leave the 3 alone for a little longer.



Hey Stan

The CTS ain't bad. Turk grabbed one when he, Pat and I went to the MiniNats (a V6, of course), and I'm sure the V8 will bump it up a bit. But as good as it is, the interior materials, fit and finish just don't compare with the German marques, especially Audi. The exterior is certainly an improvement for Cadillac. The suspension (albeit a stock V6) was stiff in a Vette kinda way, which can certainly generate numbers, but also produce a sizable pain in the a$$ at the end of the day. Take an S4 out, run it at the track or through some cones, and then drive it home with da wifey...that's a suspension that does everything right. And the V8 CTS isn't going to be that much cheaper.

D100? You peeeeeg! We're expecting pics even more exceptional than your normal fare.
