Where did I go wrong?When my son moved over to America-to Los Angeles for a brief period and then to where he is now just outside San Francisco-he bought a...………….FOCUS not only that but his wife also has one

You let him move to the sandal wearing, salad munching capital of the world

A very sensible decision, Baza, take no notice of the hooligans on here.

You can tell from the vehicles that a lot of Americans drive that they don,t give a toss about global warming, er sorry , climate change.

Big, fat, noisy things. That's both Americans and their cars.

Our Catera owners across the pond will love that.

My (limited) experience of average cars in America, taking pickups out of the equation, is the vast majority are Euro/Jap shitboxes.

My mother in law has a DTS which she lets me use whenever i visit.

4.6 V8.  Less than 300 ponies.  Crap handling.  Slightly smaller than a british house.

The aircon works though.

Wrong wheel drive too The last STS is more than capable with the 3.6 lump and very nice with the V8

The version i drive is definitely RWD.

The version i drive is definitely RWD.

Ah, ok, my mistake, I thought it was a reworking of the older STS

RWD doesn't help the looks though

The crappy suspension makes booting it a squeeky bum moment.  You could live, you could be thrown in a hedge.  You just dont know

[Doctor Gollum]

The stupid rear overhang won't help either... It's traditional Cadillac though, long floppy boat that will eat miles doing the double nickel

Looking underneath one, the STS seemed to be a clear relative of the VE Commodore, which makes it most unCaddy like to drive

Well, it has taken firkin ages but i have finally confirmed delivery in mid january.

After messing around with finance at the stealers first i hadn't been trading long enough, so i had some draft accounts made.  Still no good so switched to Black Horse who were ok with the company trading time but somehow didn't recognise my bank as a real bank (It’s a new fintech thing, and very good).  So after pulling my hair out i went Arval instead and with some to-ing and frow-ing we have finally arrived at a deal.

Although now i have to for the roller shutter to be delivered and fitted so it won't be here in time for xmas.

Don't care what anyone says about American cars , I love them especially the Camaro & Mustang , had a Jeep Hemi for a short while & that was terrific can't beat a big V8.
