BMW is much better. Couple year ago i drove my 330i with sport package to LAKE TAHOE, didn't check the weather when i was leaving and i ended driving the car on the snow storm. Fortunatly the car handle very well considering the condition of the weather, the DSC light was ON almost all the time. I was perhaps the only Sedan that was able to leave Lake Tahoe that night. If i was driving a non-bmw sedan, i'm pretty sure i have crashed the car.

Good thing money's not an object, since that STS will be worth $7,000.00 in three years.? ?

That's my main problem with American luxury cars.? ? I love to rent them, but would NEVER buy a brand new one.

That's a point

So what happens to lease prices for the caddy in the US then?
They have to be high when depreciation is more than average.

If money was no problem for me i'd get the M6 and buy it instead of having it leased.

Here is the 2006 STS-V. It won't match the new M5, but at least the STS isn't fwd anymore.

Ummm.... let's see, 18 year old drivers in a $20,000 car that has 200 HP more than the chassis can handle.

Yep, I'd agree we'd all better watch out.

How can the new Pontiac GTO only handle 200 hp?

It does not cost $20,000.

I've seen high praise for the Holden Monaro (GTO) outside of the US. Pontiac screwed up by making the exterior boring, however, it's perfrommance alone is still worth more than $20K.

Anyone got any data to back-up the extremley high depreciation of the Cadillacs?

I think he means the car has 400hp but the chassis can only handle 200hp
