Fit and finish was as good as anything I had been in.

Cadilliac makes some nice iron. I would drive most of them.
Theyre great, but getting to a price range of ridiculousness nowdays

I didn't find that our escalade had any better quality than my ford does...I don't see what people pay $80k for, but it's their money.

I was going back & forth about which one to buy when I was looking at trucks and cars.

That CTS-V is a nice car!

You found a '12 leftover in spring of 2013??? That was an impressive find!

The Ford had a nicer steering feel and a much nicer interior. The FX4 came with every Ford service record that was ever done on it and it had only TSB's and recalls done, absolutely no warranty work.

That FX4 ended up being my truck for a while after my Chev had the fire. I drove it for about 10k miles before the truck started having transmission issues (probably from the lack of maintenance in the time he was driving it) and decided it was in my best interest to get a new truck. The Ecoboost FX4 I have now is awesome, but that 05 was the truck that sold me on Fords and I actually miss it's awesome reliability.


We had an '03 Expedition, essentially the same vehicle. Loved it. They truly are bulletproof.

Personally I would never buy a CTS-V. I have issues paying $70k for a car with the same cheap(my opinion) interior as the $35k car.... But that's just me. I would rather sink my money in a nice 1 year old Audi S6 or a new Audi RS5. But I'm a Euro-nut so don't mind me...
