    I hope it was worth it giving away all my info. LOL

    I hope this time we get behind the wheels, unlike the Mercede's event a while ago. Oh well cant blame them, too many knockheads behind the wheel is always a bad thing.

    Thanks for posting this info. I'll be out there for the 3pm Saturaday test.

    Sweet, I'm going to get there early just so that there is fresh tires on them cars. Since it seems we're going to be an Editor for a day... they may allow us to actually test drive the car and give our opinion and thoughts, no?

    I have a feeling they may have a BMW, Cadillac and a Lexus on site because the questions were related to these 3 makes.

    Can I say the new BMW 335i turbo or a M series? Cadillac CTS-V? and Lexus IS350?

    Can't wait, it's only a week away.

    So... what's everyones take on this event. I know it happend last week and I was too lazy to come in here to post LOL...

    Well, I feel that it's a marketing tools for Caddy as all the questions were related to the Cads.

    I like the Bimmer more... even though it's not the M version it's still a nice car. Caddy STS is alright... the Lexus... what can I say, it's an SUV... I was fearing more if it'll tip over as I tried very hard to keep it in a clean line.

    I hate the electronic gizmo in all the units... all in all, I enjoyed it and had a few good laps with them tires LOL.

    In general I left with a better impression of the Cadillacs than I expected, which I guess was the point. I had no idea what the HP was on the sedans before I drove them, I guess for 50k+ I expected more then 250hp, but I've never really shopped that segment. (and after driving them I have no aspirations to do so... I'd save 20k and get a Legacy.) GM really needs to work on their interiors, something that has always turned me off on the Corvette as well, the stereo looks like something out of my 2000 Blazer.

    Strangely the thing that most stuck with me was the seats on the Cadillac SUV. By far the best bolstering of any of the vehicles there; maybe the others were adjustable and I just never found it.
