I like both Cadillacs and Benzes. Before I was born, my mom had a 1978 Coupe DeVille, and she liked it very much. Then in 96, my dad got a 1996 Sedan DeVille. It was a real highway cruiser, it looked like a big, black bathtub. When it was totalled in 2001, he got a 2002 DHS (DeVille High Luxury Sedan). It's a nice car, looks good, floats down the highway with ease, I like the way that V-8 roars, but that big Northstar V-8 drinks gas like I don't know what. The 96 had the same engine that the 02 has in it, but the 96 used less gas. I like the way it drives, but I hate the way it handles (having to back up sometimes before I turn if the turn is too tight, u-turns have to be planned two blocks in advance). The Benz and the Lex handle much better than the Caddy (they turn on a DIME!) The Caddys are ok, but the Benzes and Lexuses are better.
