It's that Cadillac again....

Ooohh... cut'n'paste from Cadillac.com

Cadillac 16


The Cadillac Sixteen is rear-wheel drive powered by an all-aluminum 13.6-litre engine. It includes technology such as Displacement on Demand, which allows the engine to run on four, eight or sixteen cylinders depending on driving conditions. Other advancements include:

* 7,000 rpm capability
* 1,000 horsepower and 1,000 lbs.-ft. of torque
* Advanced cylinder head port design
* Titanium alloy valves and valve springs
* Variable camshaft phasing
* The interior is a pure expression of design, with fine woods, precision cut metals and crystal used in harmony throughout. The opulent, yet refined, interior features:

Hand-stitched Tuscany leather seats
Hand-woven silk carpets
Custom-designed crystal cluster dials
Custom BulgariĀ® clock
Reclining rear seats with foot and leg rests
BoseĀ® sound system
DVD Information and entertainment system
Fifth-generation OnStar in-vehicle safety and security communication system


The Cadillac Sixteen reflects the bold, dramatic design of the new Cadillac, with much of the car's structure and body panels made of aluminum. The highly refined and malleable aluminum allowed Cadillac craftsmen to create shapes and designs that would not have been possible if only steel and wood were used.

All this and 16mpg, too!

RAR!!

...it looks like an Audi.

>Gasp!< Argh, no. I disagree and anyway, you could get an Audi in the boot of this one.

You're probably right about the corners, though.

My Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder (3.0 litre V6 cabriolet) that I had in Vegas was a lovely car - a 4 seater convertible with plenty of grunt - however it cornered like a Damian Hurst Cow. This, I fear is an endemic problem in all US built vehicles (that and the fact that the steering wheel is on the wrong side)

Thanks Heavens for valet parking

It may be, but I'm not. Hence Boot.

(I can see some pointless and wine-enhanced bickering this weekend, over the relative merits of cars we couldn't afford if everyone on our combined friends lists chipped in. Marvellous.)
