But you wrote post #46 on March 7, 2015. Why are you inflating prices back to when the car was first released in the US market? The reality is the SS on March 7th 2015 averages $42k. All new car purchases require tag, tax and title. Are you rounding $42k to $50k or did you simply not know what they cost?

Ohhhh because all Cadillac drivers are middle-aged? And you must avoid a well balanced RWD luxury car with turbo-4 and manual transmission because someone might think you're middle-aged? Self-conscious much?

So because it has a crest and wreath and not a bowtie, the exact car you describe is out of consideration?

Firefighter was looking for something with a bowtie so a barebones ATS 2.0L turbo @ $34k would suit him fine. He just can't stand the thought of driving a Cadillac apparently.

Which makes it a great time to buy an ATS or CTS for that matter. A lot of car for the money even if it doesn't wear a bowtie
