Yup, and:

“The all-new 2008 Cadillac CTS is spectacular from all angles – from its handcrafted, tailored interior to its dramatic outer skin - making it a deserving winner of our Car of the Year Award for 2008” said Bakur Azher, Publisher & Editor in Chief Saudi Auto Magazine.

Yup.

Congulaturations to Cadillac and GM. Now build the convertible too.

A majority of Muslims even in Saudia do not think of Christians as infidels...
They understand we share a different world view but that does not make us bad people...You got to understand that...

Great.

I'll keep this in mind as I watch the read-out on the gas pump pass $4.00 per gallon.

Thanks Dad. I'm sorry. I was not aware you had done a census of the attitudes of the Muslims in Saudia Arabia and found that they love Christians. To me, actions speak louder than liberals.

Okay, no fighting on this thread...We are all in this together. I think we all share the same view on this one, so let's not go bananas over minute differences.

I'm no liberal and I can tell you American hate is not as big as you might think, and there is no anti-Christian sentiments. There is however anti-US and anti-Isreal, the later widely expressed. Yet, that doesn't stop them appreciating a good American product like in the case of the CTS.

The more I see the CTS, the more I want one!

I find it funny how Americans use the term liberal.
Seems right wing facists use it to discredit anyone who doesnt agree with them.

Anyway good on GM for the CTS.
Styling doesnt really appeal to me, but its a good car.

No, it is because Liberal (left-winger)is equidistant on the political spectrum to Conservative...And we all know how the media lambasts those "evil Conservatives" every chance they get...They are "all extremists, fundamentalists..." yaddaa, yadda...Well, if Conservatives are so extreme then Liberals deserve the same treatment...

Left-winger-Liberal___________"Center"__________Conservative-Right-winger.

I always heear the "right-wing" this and that in the media, but when it comes to the left wing the best the media can conjure up is "left of center", and just maybe "leftist", but never "left-wingers", "socialists", etc. Then again, it might have something to do with 93% of all journalists, media types in America either identifing themselves and/ or voting liberal. Hence why it is used in the U.S. that way.

Schizophrenia or hypocrisy...

Lol, why can't this thread stay on topic about the CTS and not politics? This is GM Inside News, a car thread that focuses mainly on General Motors, not politics. Thanks a bunch.

yeah exactly! none of you have been there as far as I can tell.

anyway as time goes on and more and more people rate the CTS as a great car the more I want one!
when it finally goes on sale in this country I hope the public understand its a real award winning car cos so far no one knows about it at all really.

now this might sound stupid but are there many cars out there that have won as many awards as the CTS?

I am as Christian and Catholic as they come, and there are Muslim families, some of them living in Saudia that would die for me. I consinder them brothers. Becouse they are brothers. We are close enough that their sisters do not cover themselves when I visit. Becouse we are that close.

You are ignorant of Islamic culture.
that is not to say that there are no bad elements in Saudia. The only difference between western bad eggs and Middle Eastern bad eggs is that while western elements distance themselves from faith, middle eastern ones clothe themselves in a distorted version of faith.
While butchers of the west in the last 100 years have been Atheistic Idiologies, Middle Eastern Butchers have tried to hide behide religion...

That does not mean that people everywhere do not strive to live good honorable lives. Even in China. No mainstream mother anywhere tries to raise little monsters.

Do you think without the good will of the majority of the people in the Region, including Iraq, Kuwait, Afaghanistan, Quatar, UAE, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Jordan, Turkey, we would be able to keep a mere 300,000 soldiers to build the democracies we are helping build? Even Iran allows us to fly sorties over into Afaghanistan over their air space... sometimes...
if they hated us soo much as you think they do, we would have fought for every inch, from Kuwait onwards into Iraq.
Do you know chevy's are now almost as popular as Toyotas over there. Especially Ausie Chevy's?
