Not up to new car prices in retirement mode, went looking at lease returns. Started looking at Acura RLs and Infiniti Ms and G's, but ended up driving away in an '05 Cadillac STS. No AWD or Adaptive Cruise but about every other bell and whistle known to man. Throw in 38K West Coast miles, the 4.6L Northstar, Magnetic Ride Control and 11 spkr Bose DVD sound and it moves right smartly down the road in style! Yeah, I know, a V8!!! Just realized it's the 1st, and maybe last this old fogey will ever own.

That's a really nice car Glenn. Enjoy your purchase, and remember you are buying American, at a time when you guys need to support local industry.

I also don't agree the negative about the plastics. I think Cadillac has done more than all the other big manufacturers to make a decent American car to compete with Acuras and Camrys and Mercs etc.

Drive it with pride man. The car is worth it.
