Strangely I recall some British supermarket not being allowed to call some ham "parma ham" because, despite being made in the correct place and way, it was not sliced in Italy.

However cheese from Canada can be called "Cheddar"?

When will the EU's reign of terror end?

Wrong way round, CS, the REAL quesiton is when will ALL food producers adhere to a standard which means that a product that is known for it's origin can ONLY by supplied from that origin.

German Cars for beauty, handling, refinement and comfort.

American Cars for speed, simplicity, large size, raw horsepower.

911 or Corvette?

What a funny man!

911 for ever, of course

[The Ferrarist]

Americans - Mustang, GT Tungsten, Shelbiez
Germans - Der BMW, BMW M, Mercedes-Benz AMG

The Cadillac STS was laughable.

Please tell me, what was wrong with the STS?

(I'm asking because I'm considering buying a 1994 Seville STS, because I want a spacious, luxurious, inexpensive used car. I'd be buying it cheap, but if it's truley "laughable," what should I get instead?)

Why do you want a STS? V8? FWD? How luxurious/inexpensive do you need?

well, I have very little to spend...the STS I'm looking at is in the $2,000 range. do you have another suggestion in the $1 - $2000 range? haha that's what's laughable...my budget...

I think you can probably get a more reliable car for about $2K. The STS was introduced as Cadillac's sport/luxury car that originally cost a lot of money (~40K) and now someone is selling it for less than $2,000. That in itself raises some red flags for me. I remember reading in Consumer Reports that the older STS were far below average in many categories including reliability. You might get it cheap but it won't stay that way. I know that it's an attractive car, probably nicer than anything you'll find for the price. But if it seems too good to be true it usually is....

Best bet is a Japanese sedan that's being sold by the original owner. They should be selling it themselves because they don't want the dealer's offer of $500. If you need something bigger or GM, then go for any car with the 3800 V6 engine. The Pontiac Bonneville, Buick Regal, and Oldsmobile 88 all had this engine and they are likely to be in better condition than a similarly priced Cadillac.

Regardless of what you buy, have it checked out by a mechanic. It'll cost about an hour worth of labor and you can bargain atleast the price of the inspection, probably more. Good Luck!!
