RE: Caddy STS
similar performance in a straight line, as long as you can hold the steering wheel straight. Newer styling (note i didn't say nicer), a newer design interior. FWD, which sucks around turns AND in a straight line. Caddies have slightly better resale, but no performance aftermarket (we can use mustang parts... they can't use anything). Never worked on one, but i expect that it's more difficult than working on the mark.

RE: Caddy STS
trouble is, from what I ahve heard, the 2005 seville will have the styling to look like a larger ctx. A styling choice I think is a mistake and would never consider buying.
When will the american auto mfgrs learn. If I want a BMW, Ill buy one, not a lincoln or caddy which looks similar. They have to stop FOLLOWING the foreign mfgrs and begin LEADING.
Ok, ther is my Sunday sermon.

yea- I think I remember reading somewhere that the N* engine has sooo many electronics that its nearly impossible to add a remote starter to it without it frying. I also remember seeing on the caddy board that on new N* engines it is common for it to use like 1qt oil every 1000 miles!!?? And good luck trying to work on it yourself!

Caddy people don't work on their own engines, any more than Pinto-People add superchargers
Personally, I think this '05 is pretty sleek & elegant. Imagine with a C6 Northstar V-8 and it's RWD, too!

RE: Caddy STS
I did the Tailights and front Headlight lenses for the new STS. The original "spy" photos of the STS turned me off (looked like a big CTS), but the photos the GM fellas showed up with looked ALOT different. It looked like a smaller version of the Cadillac 16, and not a CTS. If the photos I saw are in fact the new STS, it's a beauty!
