Personally, I'd have to go with the DTS. It's just absurd (and everybody and their mom has a 300 series now). :hatsoff:


Whoops. Forgot the poll.

I still prefer the 300M inside and out

Considering that the currently-produced Chrysler 300 is not the 300M, I don't know how you make a direct comparison. The DTS is Cadillac's current full-size luxury sedan and the last 300M rolled off the assembly line in 2004.

That said, compared to its contemporary DeVille model back in 2004, I would take the 300M in a heartbeat. So would this website that offers up a review of the 300M, which rated it superior to not only the DeVille but also to the Lincoln Continental:

I own a 2002 300M with 120,000 miles on it and it still runs perfectly. An extremely comfortable, powerful and nimble sedan, it is (except for the 1964 Chevelle that I used to have) the best car I have ever owned. I hope to hang onto it for a long time to come.

As far as the present 300 version goes.....I don't like it. Its suspension is way too stiff, the hood is a mile long (feels like a WWII German Staff car when you drive it) and the visibility/sight lines are bad (small windows). Also, the seats are quite uncomfortable on long rides. The DTS blows it away but from a personal preference standpoint I would take the CTS over the DTS any day. It is just as luxurious and its smaller wheel-base and body give it a much sportier look and feel than the DTS....the DTS looks more like something your grandfather might drive.

Good topic, Scott! :thumbsup:

The Caddie is like another 10k at least, which probably explains why there is damn near a 300 series on every damn block. They're played out now. The new Chargers were alright when they came out, but they got kinda played out already as well; same with the new Camaro. Personally I'd prefer a whip not too many people have. That DTS is just a stunner though. :hatsoff:

You can get Holden Commodores in the USA now, but they're called Pontiac G8.

I don't think that says old man, at all. But that's just me.

That's a pretty sick whip right there boy. I agree. However, it's more of a sports car. Caddy=sportscar just seems different to me. My dream car when I was younger was an Allante; the XLR is retarded, but I'll never be able to afford a six figure car, most likely. The dude on Unique Whips had a black one...it was soooo sick: :bowdown:
http://www.cadillac.com/cadillacjsp/model/gallery.jsp?model=xlr I think I would probably take an XLR over a Vette, and the new Vette's are pure class. :eyeso:

 

[biomech]

I'd go with the 300, but it would be the SRT-8 version.425 horsepower, triple black. Sweet

 

[Skyraider22]

Deep down I'm a caddie man the 300 is a beautiful car but the DTS is just a great car to me:2 cents::thumbsup:

 

[tdomaster]

i would take the chrysler and go to the tuner Brabus/Startech to get and unique one

 

[Namreg]

i'd take the 300 because of the mercedes=derived platform (and thus it's rear wheel drive). i'd also take a (rear wheel drive) STS over a DTS.

 

[Namreg]

one more thing; they offer massive discounts on the 300, last ad i saw in the montreal gazette offered a 300 equipped to $34k canadian for only 19995 if you pay cash. the new model is rumoured to be launched next year though, so you'll be driving the old model soon.

Sorry Bloody but that DTS looks like something my Uncle Louis from Boca might drive around the Senior Center....

The CTS is where it's at for Caddys. Otherwise go with this..

CTS all day.

I own a CTS. Between the 300M and DTS. I much prefer the DTS in black, simple and a very cool car, retro wise.
