Ah yes, this is the STS model so it will be making a titanic 300HP at the fly from its "small" 4.6 litre V8 (which is a lot more than the base model made with the same displacement - go American engine design!) and guzzle vast quantities of petrol, whilst the primitive transmission and soft, under-dampened suspension will mean it will torque steer like a drunken hobo. Its tiny, tiny brakes will mean that if you do manage to get it up to any sort of speed, you will have to plan several weeks in advance before approaching a corner. This is all assuming that you can actually get it to start in the morning.
Stay well clear - this is one of the cars that helped to drive the American car industry into the ground.
Look at the Interior section "Automotive International Magazine recognized Seville for having the best interior of any luxury car in the world." LOL yeah right! That's because Americans think they're the world.

Turns out youre pretty right Matthew. I have read a few reviews that talk about brakes, unreliability of electronics and the engine using quite a lot of oil. Would almost be a perfect project if my soarer hadnt already made me broke! anyways its a pity looks like a nice comfortable car which could work well if a few important bits were replaced. shame.
