I disagree that the quality is there. Maybe for an American made car but the fit and finish are definitely not the same. They have improved over the years but it is not not on the same level as a Lexus.
A lot of articles say the same thing:

i can agree with this, and i'm an american car guy through and through, it just so happens that the ls is from another planet. i'm in the car service industry and theres a reason no one runs caddys, its because the fall apart, and blow up. try to find an original northstar engine with more than 150k on the clock, they are pretty rare.

its sad that cadillac cant put an entire package together, the last fwd sts, was the best unibody made up to that point, crazy good ride quality with the magnetorheological shocks most important damper advancement to date, the northstar is a badass 4 cam screamer until it blows up, why they just didnt keep it simple with a fwd ls1 is beyond me. the interior materials and fit and finish is essentially chevy with some lipstick on.

The reviews on the new caddys are pretty good I think.

But ya the old ones with the Northstars where prety bleak. My dad has an 05 dts uses a quart every 1000-1500 miles. When I get in his with like 60 k and mine with 90 k it is like night and day. Heated steering wheel all the bells but just sloppy handling, lumbering suspension the inside creature comforts are nice though and it has a real nice Infiniti like clock and I keep telling him to sell it but it is worth nothing.

If you really really have to punish yourself with a DTS, don't ditch your 430. You can get one stupid cheap on craigslist. Plenty of 03-06 models for around 2 grand with around 135k on them. You might as well take the money and toss it right out the window but you might get a few months out of one before it blows up. Just enough time for you to see what a horrible turd it is lol

03-06? I've said nothing about that generation DTS. Agreed those would be punishment if that were what I'm looking at.

Seriously dude, shut up. Read up on which model you're referring to before you keep squawking like a know-it-all... because you don't.

The Cadillac DTS came out in 2006 [sold in 07] as the first year.

What you keep calling a DTS is actually the DHS or 'deville' depending on the year it was sold...

In the US pre-2006, the DTS (formerly DeVille Touring Sedan) was a top trim level for the DeVille. GM restyled the car for the 2006 model year and named it DTS.

Shut up is like kin of rude actually, lol kinda

Wow. Chill out man. You a closet northstar lover?

Stereorob

But in all seriousness you can get a DTS deville now for like 2 grand. Don't get me wrong there a blast to drive and very comfy cushy rides, they just don't last. They all blow up around 150k. Can anyone show me a 2000s deville with 250k miles on it on original everything under the hood? If you can, post a pic, and I'll shut up.
