I was at the Chevrolet/Cadillac/Saab dealership this afternoon, when my friend took his Tahoe in for an oil change. As I was waiting on him, I decided to take a look at the used car showroom and noticed a black DTS outside.
I know the car is front wheel drive, which I'm frankly not a fan of, but the styling appeals to me and I couldn't resist not checking it out. It was a 2006 with 42,000 km (26,250 miles) on it and had a sticker price of the equalivant of $12,770 (they have terrible resale value here).
The salesman insisted on a test drive, even though I mentioned not being serious, but ended up giving in. I loved how smooth the ride was, and didn't push it or anything, but I think if this was a rear wheel drive, I would have had a hard time not buying it - especially with the price further lowered to ~$11,670.
This is another out of production model, and I was reading up when I came home about the XTS, which is supposedly the replacement. With other comparable vehicles from marques like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Lexus and Infiniti being rear wheel drive, it makes me wonder why their replacement is another front wheel drive.
