Even my wife isn't that pink inside.

Mike,

Though the White and Stanley were competitors in the first decade of the 20th century, I think White stopped producing steam cars in the early teens.

By the time the Doble emerged in the 1920s , Stanley was seriously outdated , closing up shop in 1924.

mywheels,

FYI.
The luxury steam car Jay has is a Doble . There is also one on display at the Nethercut Museum in Sylmar,Ca .

Hector;I'd be interested in see your list of cars you think Lutz futzed .

Hondas are as dull as Aztek jokes.

Why not,indeed, NoName. Thats a good idea,too.

It all comes down to what they have to spend vs. what they think they can get back.

I have the same concerns, Vinzer .

My guess (or hope) is that this would be a replacement for the DTS. A Caddy for the elder buyers. If it was done right, it might reduce the cost of developing an entirely new car for that market.

This would allow Cadillac to focus funds on the upcoming Coupe,Sport Wagon,and,with luck, a production Converj. So,seen in that light, it's not so bad.
Of course, if they just slap a wreath and crest on the thing, your worst nightmares (and mine) will have come true.

I don't want to spend my tax dollars on a company forced to make lifeless, gutless, FemaMobiles .

I have seen this car tooling around Agoura Road in Agoura,California. A few days ago it was on PCH in Malibu.

As a mountain range separates the two areas ,I would guess they are testing it on those great twisting roads up there. Heads up to you locals!
