Overview: This weeks Cadillac DTS (DeVille Touring Sedan) appears to be a “mans” car. Demographics show sales 85% men and 15% women with an average age of 67 and married. Cost can't be the reason because young people make more money than this age group. The younger set still seems to opt...

[gallery link="file" ids="3468,3469"] Overview: This week's Mitsubishi is the Diamante LS 4-door Sedan that is totally impressive. If anything is wrong with buying this sedan is that it lacks the prestigious nameplate of BMW, Mercedes, Lexus and the like. But it is every bit as good in my opinion. And when you price...
