This is not the first Cadillac I have owned. I started with a 1994 Deville Concours that I traded at 282000 Km on a 1997 Deville Concours that I traded on my current 2006 DTS (Deville Touring Sedan) when the 97' had 224000 Km on it. In every sucessive Caddy, the car still provided the same reliability, ride, safety features and economy that the previous car provided. I am still happy with the DTS model and I'm sorry that the Model is not being continued . The 4.6 litre NORTHSTAR engine is fabulous for power and reliability. Color me enthusiastic.
