[Leica] un-believable - now off-topic and long-ish

[sethrosner at nycap.rr.com (Seth Rosner)]

Buick doesn't make a LaSalle; their two sedans are the Lucerne and the 
LaCrosse. I suppose performance and ride are subjective matters but lounge 
chair ride and wallowing suspension? as a sports car guy and for over 50 
years and former road racer, uh-uh. That said, you will adore the CTS, a 
world-class car.

Seth,


The Buick LaSalle is a current model, which we drove a year ago, and the 
ride and performance was exactly as I described it. I wish it were not, same 
ride as my mom's 1992 Buick.


I am interested in the new Caddy CTS, which I will go and try as soon as the 
temperature gets above 0 F sometime next week, it is -5 F here today.
