this car is beauty and the beast!! just perfect! its like having a monster vetter that is extremely nice and can carry around the whole family. I cant pick a flaw on this bad boy..

honestly i doubt any sedan will touch this car for a long time.. is gm fellas.. the mods will be endless.. and lets say your not big into that.. well then get a chip and a supercharger pulley and im guessing this will be the closest thing to a roller coaster in a sedan..

That interior looks awesome. One detail I love is those little climate control displays angled to each seat.

The pop up nav blows-cheesy, but again Paul, sounds like you already have a deposit on one with all of your posts here on it. When is the arrival date?

The day I see Paul in a Caddy is the day you see me in a Q45

Oh no, Mike, say it ain't so. You don't care for the Q?

I am seriously thinking of buying an 03 Q for my daily beater. Down to the Q, TL, or 2nd Gen GS430.

Any input would be great in case I make a mistake.

I actually prefer it's interior to the above.



Plus, I hear a certain Ford Explorer will be on sale shortly for a great price once the owner takes delivery of his new Caddi.

Lee, my thoughts here on a thread I started.

Feel free to bump that thread, don't want to hi-jack this one/

Haha. My mother-in-law has a CTS now (first gen). Not the nice interior for sure, but it still drives VERY nicely. Maybe I'll encourage her to upgrade.

I won't be buying a new vehicle for years I expect.

I've ALWAYS liked Cadillacs. My in-laws have had Cadillacs for as long as I've known them (26 yrs?). Every one of them (they'd trade every 3 years like clockwork!) was VERY nice.

I could definitely see owning one in the future.

The chance of seeing you in a Q on the other hand, are about the same as of you getting busy with that goat in the TLN thread.

I would make sweet SWEET love to a goat, before I drove a Q45.

Lee, for the MONEY, as a used car, I mean its an absurd value. Built very very well, great features, good room, nice V-8. You can get a damn G35 for the price of a Q45! That is nuts!

The ride with the 18s is just bad, its not sporty, its not luxury. The looks are and you being PearlPower bring more prestige to the Q45 than it to you, if that matters.
