I came out of my house yesterday morning and this was parked right outside!
Turned out he was visiting my neighbour.

Compare that beautifully sculpted pointy nose of the DS to the front of this new, monster Cadillac. Were there any stylists involved in the "design" of that Cadillac?

Ironically, I find that Escalade one of the better modern "designs".

Passed my house, but it's a dead end so I was waiting as he came back. 1600cc I believe, but surprisingly it was an automatic, and the owner said there are only two. No hood, just hardtop and tonneau.
