Yup, you folks are right; no Northstar system that far back.

As to giving an E420 a hard time, I was thinking of the Seville STS, the hottest current Cadillac and a quicker car than the DTS mentioned earlier. Would be a tough call.

Regardless, I think the resale values say a lot...and you really shouldn't be talking with such a knucklehead anyway!!
