Sorry, cLyDe---But since being a 'bus driver in the sky' qualify you as being 
an 
automotive guru? I suppose you're an expert on quantum physics too?

Heavy sedan w/manual (ONLY!!!) > Cadillac CTS/V.

Manual not working in a big car is total and complete
bullshit.  But the marketing realities are such that this
combo doesn't appear often.  Sigh.

a manual, when what I didn't express as well as I should have was that the cars 
are too heavy and don't drive well with a manual.  BMW does well with the M5 
because (as you pointed out) they do have a following.  But BMW has 
historically 

tried to be sportier and Mercedes more luxurious.  Which is why BMW usually has 
the younger following while MB has the older crowd.  So my point was not to 
argue that you were incorrect in stating that there was no market demand for 
the 

cars, but rather WHY there was no market demand for the cars.
