We had a fully loaded 95 for almost twenty years. It never stranded us and the 4.9 was absolutely bullet proof. We finally sold it in 2015 and it’s still out there doing it’s thing.
Our snazzy lady friend may have looked a little less pained if she had been allowed to close her lips and assume a natural expression...her apparent discomfort was a distraction to me. ☺
I think she was just worried about the valve cover gasket on her Northstar engine. Despite the salesman's reassurance about Cadillac quality, she knew that these things could blow at any moment. And when that inevitably happened, she also knew that her lovely new car would be mechanically totalled and worth nothing. Poor woman, no wonder she looked pained.
@@matthewgodwin3050 Northstar was not yet available on DeVille. But I can still feel her pain about not getting enough power from a 4.9 liter engine...
I've made a similar comment on the 1997 Chevrolet Caprice (?) (Buick?) video uploaded a few weeks ago: For a 1990s car it looks quite old fashioned...a slightly more rounded version of what they were making 2 decades earlier. Compare this to the BMWs, other European and Japanese saloons that you could buy in 1994. It's surprising that GM didn't go under by the turn of the millennium.
"Begs to be driven" "Provocative appearance" "Come inside". This is bordering on satire. Before I turned it off, I noticed that the car they show in the video alternates between a DeVille and a Fleetwood, a totally different model.
You know they had too many products in the same category when GM confuses the Fleetwood for a Deville in their own video. Either that, or they didn't have enough B-roll footage and hoped that nobody would notice on the garbage video VHS quality.
How do the Americans manage to get so little horsepower from such large engines. 200 bhp is what British and Europeans get from the little electric motor that powers the radio antenna. When they ain't even trying.
@@matthewgodwin3050 : They're tuned for quiet smooth operation. Those Citroens and Trabants those Europeans love so much wouldn't even come close to passing American Safety and Quality standards.
@@TeeroyHammermill I own a 1998 Audi A8 with just over 100,000 miles, a 1993 Cadillac DeVille with 150,000 miles, a 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood with 278,000 miles, and a 1979 Triumph Spitfire with almost 60,000. I'll give you a wild guess as to which one is the most problematic of the bunch! Hint: It was made in Germany.
Well in this day and age my 4.9. 1994 DeVille average city mileage is 18. Highway 30 mpg 27 with AC. Mind you its been updated with cold ram air and ethanol free premium fuel. I also have a 97 Lincoln TC and a 95 BMW 535i. But the Cadillac is my favorite
@@LamontBoucherville say it to former Cadillac owners who spent a lot of money fixing the engine or transmission. Of course if you don't take care of your car in a proper way it's easier to repair american cars, still the reliability factor isn't GM's strong side. Comfortable? You mean Caddy has no steering feel? Maybe yes.
@@blueheart_92 I mean, it depends which Mercedes 😂. Cars will go on for however long you want to pay to maintain them. American cars have always been and will always be inferior to European and Japanese cars.
@@SF-rs3xm factually wrong. American cars were once in the forefront of technology. The 70s, 80s and 90s put out some truly bad cars but there's still a lot of good ones. Ford Mustang, dodge Challengers and some Cadillacs come to mind.
