Moved from the new Top Gear series page (a few seconds of footage from this old Top Gear roadtest was shown before they looked at the Cadillac Sixteen and also before the Cadillac CTS roadtest)

Roadtested by Clarkson, who naturally criticises it a bit because it's American but is very impressed by the Northstar engine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mndX4SyORc (unfortunately video is very grainy)

Date of Liability 01 12 2012 (still going)
Date of First Registration 15 06 1998
Year of Manufacture 1998
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 4565cc
Fuel Type PETROL
Vehicle Colour SILVER

"Headlights Suggested", so polite, so American. :lol:

What would he expect the Cadillac to say? "It’s getting dark! Turn on the damn headlights you idiot!"
