    Line your little Bimmer up against a CTS-V and see what happens.......

    I tell you what, meet me at Lime Rock or Laguna Seca with a CTS-V and you can see what the rear of a BMW looks like, lap after lap. The V series is a sledge hammer the M series is a scapel. Very similar analogy to the Vettes and the 911s. Cadillac is getting more and more of the equation right but they are shooting at a moving target.

    Ken I think everyone knows it is an old thread, Brian was pointing out the music didn't die in the motor cities. But, I think your point was keep it civil and no politics, which is indeed proper, but celebrating the biggest manufacturing base in the US should be something we are all happy about.
    Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.

    Deep thought for the day:

    Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.

    Then we could decide between two totally amazing car lines made in America and Canada.
    YES!!!! Sign me up for a Lie Nielson Volvo 240 wagon!

    I like the way you think......

    Ken, I agree with you about keeping this civil. I had spotted this old thread while searching for who knows what. I am just glad that the US auto industry is alive and well. I am not intending political statements, but just happy and surprised by the big three all showing profits.
