Ahhh..the aroma of pure, unadulterated euro-elitism ;-) I've never been much of a Cadillac fan myslef, but I hold out hope. Their cars are generally brash and much less subtle than their cousins in the luxury car segment. Notably, one of the worst Cadillacs ever ever was actually designed by Europeans...remember the Allante? I'm not convinced the designers (presumably americans) took their styling cues purely from an American perspective on this car. It actually looks very similar to the Bentley Arnage...a car clearly intended for a supposedly "more sophisticated" Euro-centric audience. The stance and general outward appearance on both cars are almost identical. The biggest difference is really in the price tag. - tex
