Andrew,
Look Caddy’s as we know it has never been that good but thats all going to change. MOTOR MAGAZINE said……………”The new CTS is a proper alternative to a Series or C-Class”. Cadillac is landing on the shores of Oz in October this year.

Looks much better than the opposition,makes a BMW 5 series

I remember when I would glance at a Jag and know instantly – YEP thats a Jag…

When I first saw the XF – I had to do a double take. Didnt recognise it.

Sorry, not a fan. I love the old traditional Jag shape. It used to be such a differentiating feature between brands (like the Aston for example).

No doubt its a great car, but I used to love the shape of the Jag. not so much now.

Duck says “Yeah! But will the Cadillac CTS-R be better?”

Ah no. The Americans aren’t good at making cars. I could mention what is wrong with them but where do you start?
