Cadillac = Lazy

I'm typing this because I don't like how on the new cars Cadillac is comming out with are only using 3-letter abreviations for the names insted of just using an actual name. I think that by using these abreviations it's degrading the cars. For example the redesigned '05 Seville is only going to be called the STS for short insted of keeping the full name. What's next, the next Escalade being shortend to ELT or how about the divisions name while we're at it....CMD (Cadillac Motor Division).

abreviations and what they stand for:
CTS- Catera Touring Sedan
'05 STS- Seville Touring Sedan
'06 DTS- Deville Touring Sedan
SRX- Sport Recreation X(cross)over
XLR- X Luxury Roadster (they couldn't come up with a name?)

Cadillac is trying to pull away from their old man image, into a more sport-luxury image. Thats why they are renaming the models with 3 letter names, just like BMW MErcedes and all the other cars in its class.

not to mention, modifying it is difficult bcause of its setup...to put a CAI on it you have to relocate the entire windsheild washer resevoir. etc

aight think about it really. One.......if thats what would keep you from getting a Caddi you're a few fries short of a happy meal. Two.......everything has to do with money. So you could look at it like a business and say "well if we cut down the letters that would mean less materials needed to make longer words" take that and multiply it by however many rides they make with abbreviated words, and you do the math. third.....who cares lol
