If GM think Europeans want to buy US styled barges, they'd better think again. Over here owning a Cadillac would be a bit like making a really strong ' I have really bad taste ' statement. Chrysler also seem to think they can sell this monstrosity here too. http://www.chrysler.co.uk/chrysler/300cpage.aspx?ID=287,17 Based on the previous generation E class Merc chassis I believe. Apparently it handles like a boat. Maybe the Caddy will handle better unless that's been Americanised too ? Graham
