2003 Cadillac Sixteen-Sexy or Unattractive?

[Scott 02]

I told you the kind of people who would buy it. Im guessing it will sell around $150,000-$300,000 no more than $300,000 or it would not be worth it.

This thing is hitting magazines all over the news stands, and not just car magazines. If this hits rich people as hard as it is hitting the media, this thing will be a hit.

[Scott 02]

Sure will be, I would like to see it sell better than what people are telling me it will.

is it true you can manually choose how many pistons are runing or am i just hearing things again.

[Scott 02]

in this car steve? wouldn't suprise me one bit.

Yes, much like Mercedes' (production) V12 engines, the engine will run on four, eight or sixteen cylinders, depending on load.

[Scott 02]

thats todays technology for you.

Exactly- So what some think is a revolution- has been used in production since the 1990's

[450HPviper]

That is still cool

I think the Sixteen is awsome. It's about time that Cadillacs stand out from the rest of the GM line instead of looking like clones of Chevys.
The thing that worries me is the selective displacement. Rememeber what happen with the V8-6-4?

Cadillac used this before Benz.It may have not been succesfull,but the technology was used before.to me,this car is spectacular.i dont think it will hit production though.inly becasue most concepts dont.it wouls be nice tho.i read that even if they dont put her onto the line,they will use the engine in a upcoming Caddy.

Cadillac has confirmed they will not build the Sixteen.

[kaskillah]

That doesn't surprise me. This just proves they will continue building crap they want and not great cars like their consumers really want.
That's why most drivers under 50 choose luxury imports over American luxury cars. Imports are providing the consumer high quailty cars that domestic manufacturers are not willing to produce.

This comes after GM declared they seriously want to raise Cadillac to equal status with the best European manufacturers... I am disappointed.

[kaskillah]

They are probably just as serious about raising their status as they are serious about customer satisfaction.
