I hope we are not GM haters on this Forum. I drove the fastest cadillac, the STS, and it is a real runner. It aint no E55, but it will hold its own with the rest of the Mercedes line for Performance. The problem with the cadillac for me is that it is not even close to as good looking as other cars in that price range. One of these days, and that cadillac race car http://detnews.com/pix/1999/9903/09/caddy1.jpg tells me that day is soon, Cadillac will be competing with Mercedes for the best, truly available and affordable, car you can buy. I want one of these cadillacs right now, doors or not.
