    I like it. The whole line-up at Caddilac has come a long way.

    Nice! That's the kind of car I like...

    How could anyone choose that? Well for the comfort! Some people don't care about the quarter mile, you know?

    I'm not too keen on the looks of the car..that is why I'm fishing for opinions. After looking at the larger versions of used BMW and MB's this week with 50-60k miles on them for the same price that this new caddy will be has got me rethinking things and this car is definately back on the table.

    I usually try to keep them for 4 years. I do between 25-30k miles per year for work so I can't lease.

    Oh contrair monfrier....... If you know what mileage you drive you can buy extra miles at time of lease for much cheaper than paying for mileage after lease...... and you will have NO NEGATIVE EQUITY......

    I deal with people everyday that cant trade cause cars depreciate so fast that they are just too far upside down........ thats why I like leases instead of purchasing.............

    Plus the manufacturers are pushing leases cause of these reasons (gotta keep the car market in check) so this means lease terms are far better

    I brushed on that the last time I went for a car. You can buy up the miles and work it into the payment. I can't remember how much per mile over 15k? The salesman talked so fast that I just tuned out. So I would have to buy an extra 15k miles per year at x amount per mile. Definately worth looking at though

    Depends upon the lease and manufacturer usually about .10 per mile

    so basically 3year lease for 15k add 15k miles for $1500

    Not bad considering most people are $4000 flipped Ive seen it as high as $12000

    When I left Nissan they were running a lease on the new pathfinders (It was insane that you could lease one for 200 per month less than the best financing

    What is the engine? What ratios are in the trans? What is the power to weight ratio? What's it do in a 0-60-0? What's it run in the ¼ mile? How many g's does it pull in the corner? How many MPG?
