2013 Cadillac XTS Review

Been a while since i looked into Cadillacs, but they have always been some of the cars that I looked to for the mid-life luxury class. My aunt and uncle always drove Caddies and they loved them. I guess that is why they always make me think of the 50-60 year old couple that is a bit lazy, but has a good income. Government jobs that they can't possibly get fired from no matter how poorly they do their jobs. You know what I mean.

You won't usually find the young college kids wearing their northface fleece jacket driving around in a Caddy that's for sure.

American expectations for a luxury car are not what they once were. The extra-large, softly-suspended, V8-powered insulating cocoon on wheels -- exemplified most recently in the Cadillac line by the late DTS, and DeVille and Fleetwood before it -- is gone. Today's luxury car buyer is more likely than his or her parents and grandparents to be influenced by European and Asian ideas concerning luxury cars, meaning smaller on the outside while still spacious within, having useable power coupled with reasonable fuel economy, and with all of the latest electronic gadgetry and connectivity in addition to the traditional luxury accoutrements.

Potential Counterfeit Airbag Installations

Having a counterfeit airbag will go unnoticed until it actually deploys the vast majority of the time. Unfortunately that will be too late. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)there are likely about 3,000 fraudulent bags out there right now in the last 3 years. Not a large number (in fact 0.1% of the total), but surely a significant one for anyone that gets one that harms them, or fails to protect. So if you are worried about it you should check into the list of vehicles that are considered to be in risk of having such a claim here. That page will also give you everything you need to think about to detect, or consider that you may have a counterfeit air-bag. You'd be better off putting a sof sole from bestinsoles.com on your steering wheel for safety than to have an air-bag that won't deploy properly.
