Yeah, they’re certainly not common.

Nah. The Cadillac brand carries with it a certain expectation of interior quality along with the speed- that’s why it’s a Cadillac and not a Chevrolet.

Because you’ve got to look at, touch, and use it every time you get in.

If I wanted nothing but straight line speed without any thought to the interior, I’d get a Corvette.

This is a CADILLAC. The expectation is speed, luxury, and quality...which is why they’re supposed to be the top of the line, most expensive GM brand.

…

The interior is everything that was wrong with GM in the early 2000s. Hard pass, no matter how fast it is.

If you want this kind of power in a Cadillac, find an STS-V or spring for a second gen CTS-V.

It’s no coincidence that of my fairly extensive car ownership history, the e39 and OG Saab 9-3 were my two favorites.

I submit that in a GT such as this one, a good auto is a-ok.

Yeah, my e39 (530i) is easy to fix, too; but holy hell, I sure am doing it a lot.

Have...have you never owned a BMW before?

The e39 is deceptively small.

The Camaro does come with jorts and a pair of white New Balance sneakers in the trunk.

I dunno...I’ve still got a LATCH-based booster for YoungestSheetrock and when I want to take more than two coworkers out for lunch, getting that booster out and back in is a pain in the ass. Volvo’s solution is very elegant.

Nah, he haunts the Windsor plant these days.

(comment deleted, inaccurate info)

It’s worth a front license plate to leave.

Agreed. In a fit of bad judgement, I traded my ‘98 S70 GLT for an e39.

The e39's a nice car to drive, but damn. I miss my Volvo.

It’s tough to enjoy while working through some serious engine design flaws with the 3.6 V6. It’ll be gone soon.

Yeah, but mine’s the 3.6 V6, which...yeah.

The Northstar finally got good, but the V really should have had an LS.

That’s the story of GM, though. Great ideas let down by poor execution and cost-cutting; both behind and ahead of the curve in many ways.

It’s why I really like my daily-driver 2006 STS, but at the same time can’t wait to get rid of it.

I miss Saab.
