RE: Bimmer boy crashes the guestbook at Audi-S-Cars

[Ed Kellock <EKellock@placemakers.co.nz>]

The Cimmaron was not Cadillac's proudest product, but it did get a V6
near the end of it's life.  For better or worse it did have a bit more
equipment than just crappy gold/chrome trim.  It got pretty much the
whole Caddy treatment, with the full plush interior, and all the power
doo-dads.  Still a Cavalier at heart, but what a fine Cavalier it was.
;-)

I wouldn't bash Caddy too much, though.  Their build quality is on the
rise.  Surprised we haven't heard from Graydon on this thread yet...
