I saw it first at the car show when it was introduced, thought it was such a cool ride from an American mfg, much more so than anything of the boring copy crap they were producing, but that 40K tag was just too much. I'm not a big price tag kinda guy for any car. late last year as part of a house sale, my buyer traded me for partial cash with a 98 Eldorado with only 80K on the clock-he babied it so I knew it was a good car, he was a buddy of mine. But I didn't want the Caddy so was looking to trade it on something fun, when I saw a Cross at a small town gas station. Man my eyes lit up at that aero blue coupe-but I remembered that 40K price. Not.

Then I was at a dealership and saw a new SSB Ltd on the floor for 23K and that got me thinking used ones must be pretty cheap, so i really started my research and 2 weeks later found my 2006 Ltd alabaster coupe with only 10K on the odometer, the perfect color scheme for me, just simple white over black, for only 14,500 and 2 hours later I was on my way home with the Caddy sitting in their clean up garage to get it ready for it to go out on the used car lot. i've never regretted that decision once-for any other car.
