Two Wheel Fix - View Single Post - Would you rather have a 2008 Caddy STS V-8 or 2008 Lexus IS350?

The following is with every single option offered (except AWD since its not available on the Lexus)

Cadillac CTS, $43,580 Fully Loaded, 304 HP V6
Cadillac CTS-V, $64,300 fully loaded with pavement blistering 556 HP Supercharged V8
Cadillac STS, $68,725 Fully Loaded, 320 HP Northstar V8
Cadillac STS-V, $82,735 469 HP Supercharged Northstar V8

Lexus IS350-F, $61,945, 416 hp from a 5.0L V8

I am a complete Toyota product fan (I'm on my 8th Toyota product currently) so I thought the choice would be made easily...however, I am also a die hard Cadillac fan who was raised on their old "The World's Standard" slogan which was true back in the day and have had about 8 Caddies as well, some much older (pre-1977 and a few newer (post 1990 models)

Cadillac and GM in general have put out some complete crap from the mid 70's to the mid 90's but have made great strides to not only bring back their previous owner loyalties but attract new younger clients as well.

In today's economy, I would be more inclined to support the US manufacturer over the foreign any day of the week as opposed to the Japanese.

So, my choice would be for the Cadillac.
