At a glance, the Cadillac DeVille looks
like an anachronism. One look at its vast dimensions, two-ton curb weight
and formal roofline suggests the bad old days--numb steering, football
field stopping distances, and the agility of a gimpy water buffalo.
But that's not the case, particularly with the DeVille Concours.
Yes, the DeVilles--standard, Concours and the new d'Elegance edition--are
designed to cater to folks who prioritize well-padded comfort and luxurious
amenities over everything else. But these are far more capable Caddies
than their bloated ancestors.
Our DeVille Concours tester was equipped with Cadillac's new stability-enhancing
electronic magic, as well as the myriad creature comforts that lend pleasure
to long trips. We were pleasantly astonished by its capabilities, seduced
by its amenities and impressed by its price.
