My uncle in fact just purchased one last month. I don't know why some people seem to see the car as inferior, but I personally find it a great car. I was actually amazed that it was a GM car. I did not find the interior quality bad at all.

Edmunds Inside Line has one, and it's had its fair share of problems:

Sounds Like A Lemon!!

I'm not a hater Grech I simply think of GM wants to play in BMW's field it should have an interior at LEAST as good as V-Dub's. The Escalade looks good, until you peer inside....

Just sayin...

Their CTS doesn't sound any worse than the 4.8 X5 they're driving.

I"ll take $20k savings between a CTS-V and a 5 series with similar HP over a SLIGHT difference in interiors. Btw- have you been inside a CTS-V lately? If not, how can you comment? Becuase comparing it to a Vdub, well, it sounds like you haven't been near a CTS.

Did they replace all the terrible leather and plastic of the Base CTS models with something of acceptable grade for anything over 15k?

We are talking about a CTS not a Esclade........not all Caddys are the same.

Also Audi not VW is known for nice interiors.
