I just snuck a peek at the Cad XLR forum. Wow, are those folks hurting! Electrical problems, dead battery issues, MP3s won't play on NAV, other NAV radio problems, squeeky brakes, bad (indifferent, uninformed, wrong-headed) GM service, the list goes on. Why am I so happy? Cause we got all the same stuff those Caddy folks got, but we saved $20 large!

Well, I have no electrical issues, don't have a NAV, my battery is just fine, and my dealer service has been excellent. I guess I just don't fit in.

(My brakes do squeak once in a while...I feel better now).

Gee what a surprise, made at the same place by the same managment and probably sharing more parts than we'd like to think.

Dunno, I did a couple of hard bedding stops on the brakes the other day and they stopped squeaking, so I've no longer anything to complain about (and it wasn't even that bad anyways).
