Acura TL - Cadilac CTS

With all of the media hype about the new Cadilac CTS, I ran a "what if"
through Edmunds vs an Acura TL. Typical of GM, the CTS presents a array of
options to "build it" up over the standard car --- leather over pleather
(leatherette from the days of a Volvo 240), sunroof, automatic and so forth.
By the time you get it up to the standard TL the price runs close to $40k,
which is well in excess of the base TL. Given the dubious
quality/reliability of Caddys in the past -- supposedly better now -- I have
to wonder what the fuss is all about. I guess I must be missing something.

Thanks for the comparison.

GM is GM is GM is GM.........(forever).

The press & Chevrolet are now trying to pass off the new Malibu as a
Camry & Accord killer. Yeah it looks nice, but it's still a Chevy and
they are still part of GM and they still build inferior cars.

Oh for my 1966 Impala SS 396. Now that was a car!
