What is wrong with them? Genuinely, I don't know a thing about them. Would have thought it is a big simple American V8 so fairly reliable?

We got the Cadillac STS over here (UK) and they are very cheap now, always quite fancied one for the novelty

These things are serious money pits. Great when they work, but unbelievably expensive parts and very complex.

Runner up, what about something like a Jaguar XJS with the V12? Just looking under the bonnet of one gives me the fear

Americans try to make a DOHC V8: The engine

The list of flaws goes on and on

>Munches headgaskets quicker than Subarus
>Water-cooled alternators on early models
>Interference engine
>So bad at keeping coolant in itself that it was able to run on none at all in limp mode

GM finally got smart and stopped making it, returning to their tractor tech pushrods.
