Which has more prestige?
Which brand appeals to you more (which brand would you rather have in your garage right now)?

I've seen only two types of people drive Cadillacs -
1. Senior Citizens
2. Gang Bangers

I prefer the Infinity ;)

I love you for your pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back
Oozing down the street
Waving to the girls
Feeling out of sight
Spending all my money
On a Saturday night
Honey I just wonder what you do there in back
Of your pink Cadillac
Pink Cadillac

Infinity.

Cadillac has tarnished its image by marketing its SUVs towards ghetto rappers.

How did they do that? Rappers picked it up on their own.

And what image did they tarnish? The one that their cars were targeted toward a hundred twenty twelve year olds?

Their new recent models, the CTS, STS, and SRX are great cars, the SRX even won a V8 crossover test at Edmunds.

As did the Escalade.

no fan boy, I just don't think of infinitis are prestigous cars. Whether or not I'd own one over a caddy is completely different.

i would choose Infiniti over any Cadillac any day!

Also... i heard that Cadillac's depreciate quicker than almost any car. Also, i heard that the majority of Cadillac's are leased because of the huge depreciation.

The G35 is one of, if not THE sexiest car on the road right now as far as I'm concerned.

Thats reason enough to vote for them. I voted that Cadillac had more prestige though, but that doesn't mean squat as far as I'm concerned. There isn't a model they sell that I'm even half way interested in, except maybe the Escalade. And the only people who would buy an Escalade instead of the Yukon Denali are simply the most naive of naive American's or people that think the badge means everything.

How the G35 is coming up ahead of the CTS is beyond me. I take it very few of you have ever gotten behind the wheel of a CTS. Car is simply amazing, 3.6L V6 good for 265HP and a 6spd manula trans to boot. CTS is much larger inteior wise and the way Infinit has been blasted about crappy interior qulaity, Cadillac gets praised about theirs.

Plus you can get a 400HP V8 in a CTS!

Where'd you hear this? Doesn't seem to be any faster than any other American car.

Actually, I think G35 vs. CTS is the clear no-brainer in the poll.

The VQ is a better engine than the GM 3.6L.
It gets more hp and torque than the GM (298 hp) and also has a 6 speed manual, so there goes that argument.

The interior dimensions aren't far off from each other, with neither having a clear advantage over the other.

As far as interior material quality goes, '05 model has improved plastics and real aluminum trim.
Even before the makeover, the G35 interior was better than the Lego quality plastic and fake looking wood trim of the CTS. Not to mention it is better much looking.

Please show me a review where a Cadillac interior gets praised.
For everyone you find, I could probably find 10 saying how crappy Caddy interiors are.

I have no rebuttal for the CTS-V :cool:

I'd prefer infiniti across the board unless the cts-v was involved. Then the tables would turn slightly, since I'd take one of those over ANYTHING infiniti.

I'd say it's more fair to compare the G35 Sedan which had 260hp. Unless they upped it this year as well?
