Even 20 years later. If only it didn't have the God-awful GM 90s interior.

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > BugEyedBimmer - back in the Saddle Dakota Leather 11/27/2014 at 02:04

And if only it weren't called the Etcetera.

Lotus Carlton.

Similar platform. Better all over.

Sadly yes. The girlfriend's brother has been taunting me with the prospect of him getting one to replace his Focus RS. He is an evil dude.

Huh? The Carlton and the Eldorado have nothing in common.

Ah yes, my baby, my sweet sweet baby.

Once I get Authorship, I'm going to write why this car is awesome. And it still looks striking, hard to believe this was introduced a mere 3 years after the boxy samey looking products Cadillac put out in the 80s

The superior luxo-barge:

V8 rear wheel drive gives it a superior drivetrain, but Caddy wins in looks by miles.

These have aged very well on the outside, but yeah, the interior, not so much.

Well, its a matter of taste I guess, I'd prefer the Mark VIII any day of the week.

I've always liked those but I felt that the window behind the door should match the angle of the roofline rather than just being a square.

I always thought that the platforms sort of came in order, sequentially. Bantering back and forth with the engineer cousin I understand why I could've been off base.

And 0-60 in 6.5! The quarter in 14.6! It's reasonably quick by modern standards!

Also, it is wrong that I prefer the STS?

All three gens of the STS were lookers, it's a damn shame that they had so many mechanical issues.

And the battery was in the craziest location possible - under the rear seat. Imagine an acid spill - yikes!
