So, will Buick be VW to Cadillac's Audi?

Maybe, but nobody really thinks about Volvos as sport sedans, really. Volvo has an image as the ultimate in safe mommymobiling. Not that people don't think of Lincolns as old-people cars, but the LS is at least recognized as a legit sport sedan. It's just disheartening.

Well, they're the same platform, the same engine and use many of the same interior trim pieces. They're beyond "similar." Many complaints of the Jag are, in fact, that it's SO close to the LS that it seems downmarket in comparison to other entry lux cars. Also given the amount of changes that...

A few months ago in European Car they had a brief piece on Evolve Cars and I read it and I thought "wow, that's COOL, a 400 hp Volvo." Then I just got depressed because the LS is a great platform to start from but do you see any 400 hp LS tuners out there? No. *sigh* And Ford is...

Yeah, but doesn't the tranny blow up at right above the torque levels of the stock 3.6? That's one thing I never got about the CTS. Why make such a cool car, then put that anchor around its neck?

Cars which were not in the comparo (but arguably should've been) Lincoln LS-8 Infiniti G35 Lexus IS300 Lexus GS300 Cars which compete directly on price with the CTS, but which have bigger, stronger engines Chrysley 300C Lincoln LS V8 Volvo S60R Infiniti M45 Which isn't to say that...

The CTS is a weird bird. Priced as a 3 series competitor, sized as a 5 series competitor. That being said I wouldn't say the CTS is tops in everything in its class, "It's not even close." Fact of the matter, several members of its class were omited and others were creatively jiggered. Over...

Cools. I have the sport, I think with my pearl white car it'll give it a look closer to the 2003's, something a little different, but subtley so. My Car

Ken, you're at the top of my list of McLaren grille suppliers, especially if you can do pearl white surround with gloss black mesh :) the problem with body kits is that I can seem to really only find the LSE kit. Now, I LIKE the LSE kit, but I wouldn't mind something slightly different...

Since there isn't much by way of power adders for my 02 V8, what's out there by way of visual tuning? I'm buying a McLaren grille in short order, I'm looking for a decent body kit (something subtle) and wheels. If I can find clear lenses for my bumpers that would be good, replacements for my...
