I don’t like the rear silhouette. The fastback look.

My build is 88,275--basically just sunroof, red paint, and bronze brake calipers.

I am thinking of thinking of one of these just because... in a few years when manuals are REALLY not around... if I were to get one now, would likely be a safe financial decision. Ummm..... And - now that I have an Escalade - I have already crossed the line into Cadillac.... LOL

Likewise. To me it looks like a bit like a current Honda design. Certaintly could've been better, but if you want the last v8 manual sedan they are the only game in town. |

For some reason (logical probably), German engines seem more efficient in getting power to the ground, and this shows up in trap speeds in the quarter mile.
The AMG 4.0 V8 and BMW powerplants all seem to do this — compared to the LT4. Maybe it’s inability to breathe at higher rpms and acceleration is a time-in-gear per shift thing? Just caveat emptor for any late converts to Detroit muscle.
