Motorweek 1997 Cadillac DeVille Concours Road Test

[@devinbiz]

Thinking back 25 years, that 0-60 of 6.6 seconds is still respectable for any modern large sedan

[@mavadoroaster]

My 2000 Seville did 5.2 with minor mods

[@BLACKLACDTS]

@@mavadoroaster what mods?

[@SnepperStepTV]

Most modern cars are much slower, choked to death on detuned crap engines on life support turbos and even placeebo'd with the meaningless "sport button" that does nothing but make the exhaust more embarrassing. Or it has more horsepower than the manbabies who covet them can handle and they crash and burn. Modern cars are cancer to the roads.

[@mossow71]

This was top notch technology for the day and big horsepower from the factory.. crazy $46,000 new in 1997 is $87,445 today 2023..

We owned one, a beautiful Cadillac package

Amazingly quick for a large luxo sedan weighing 4,052 lbs. A 2023 CT5-V (a small car in comparison) weighs in at 3,975 lbs or just 78 lbs less.

I enjoy the formal shape

I remember finding a black 1997 Caddy on ebay motors back when i was about to get my license. They hold a place in my heart, but its not my top choice for a model year by a long shot. Like the 2000, which I've roadtripped and the 1994 I'd gladly winter drive, I'd probably still get my paws on one for the fleet. not a concours though, unless i swap the hood and grille from a non-concours model, i can't stand that emblem in the grille bs, its a cadillac, it should have a hood ornament.

[@SnepperStepTV]

it would go well with the '97 eldorado too

[@Austinjlebe]

I have a 97 Black Caddilac Concours lol

[@dylantran8492]

I need one of those L37s. It'd be a nice upgrade for my 95 Aurora 😏

[@gabriel.954]

My folks had a 1994 Concours in laser red. The good: excellent 10 speaker stereo, roomy, fast, nice leather interior smell. The bad: unreliable, troublesome, hard ride, hard seats. The car rode like it had over-inflated tires. The Town Car we test drove was at least twice as comfortable and I'm sure would have been more reliable.

[@Chitwn81]

I never knew the Concourse edition had a floor shifter. And at 6.6 secs its faster than the Seville STS and Eldorado ETC. I wonder did the latter two get the same upgrades? I have a 98 ETC and all the Cadillac interiors look just alike it seems and all shared the same Northstar when each model should have had a different variation of it.

[@Chitwn81]

@JDns-we4fw I know how it's pronounced and spelled. Lol Phone most likely auto-corrected itself since Concours isn't a commonly used word. But yea my father brought a 94 Deville new with the Northstar when I was in grammar school. And it was quick too.

[@user-mp8er1ds9x]

I have one with 110k miles in good shape. Good car. Plenty of power, handles good enough, rides smooth enough, quiet enough. But not enough suspension travel. And to much fancy suspension rubbish.

Saul's car

[@hankwilliams-hx9ww]

That engine ended up being a total turd most of these cars didn't make it past 85000 miles without an engine rebuild at the tune of about 6 grand

[@hankwilliams-hx9ww]

@JDns-we4fw dead wrong.

Oh, aren't you special for your regurgitation of the same reddit keyboard mechanic drivel that labels you as a know-nothing poser.
