Summary
Although this car operates in the luxury realm, its electronic sophistication and standard equipment make it one of the better values in autodom, and its new stability enhancement systems are right on the cutting edge. Whether it will actually attract folks who are shopping for cars like the Lexus LS 400, BMW 7-Series or S-Class Mercedes remains to be seen. But one thing seems clear. Thanks to the DeVille, in all its flavors, the full-size American luxury car tradition has a sophisticated new lease on life.
