I'm not sure if you have driven a Cadillac lately.

Drive a CTS which is nowhere near close to being a boat in its handling or size. I took one home the other night and its handling, turn-in, and steering were so right-on. The brakes were extremely powerful and well-modulated also. Not everybody will like the interior or exterior styling, but I love it. Sure it's not perfect and I have some quibbles with some of the interior bits, other refinement issues, but I am seriously considering getting one when I need a new vehicle in a couple of years or so.

The Deville DTS and Seville STS are large vehicles (as they're supposed to be), but they handle very well for their size and for being FWD, especially with stability control.
