I wish we had better engine options
Gs350 is fine then the f sport with more power like http://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-new...-ar168345.html and better sounding then a serious GS F with 600+ hp
Cadillac is posting future engine 3.0 twin turbo 400 hp. Sigh smh
They should still make a IS F, giving the four door option to the RC F.
Sry had to let that out.

I think we've all felt this way!
It would be nice to have:
GS- More modern version of current engine
GS Hybrid- Hybrid of GS
GS Turbo- Turbocharged version of GS
GSF- Tuned up GS Turbo with other performance upgrades

I found the other day that completely disabling the traction control (while stopped, hold the button for 10 seconds or so) lets the car get a little more wild. Transmission stops bogging 1st gear to prevent wheelspin so you can floor it and get the rear to squirm, etc. With Sport+ engaged, of course. 
Still, it sucks to see Cadillac and others getting more and more powerful while we have relatively slow cars with old engines that get shared across the entire line. Even the F series shares the V8. Can't complain about highway mileage, tractability, or anything else really though, it's a nice drivetrain but it needs more torque and hp.

It's a tradeoff.
The Cadillacs may get twin turbos, but they'll likely also be getting more visits to the dealer too. I know someone that had a newer Cadillac and they always got it 'checked out' at the dealer before going on a road trip more than 100 miles.

They sound like a complete retard then. I have owned several GM products and have only been stranded once due to a water pump. Not a fanboy, that just sounds ridiculous to get your car "checked" before a trip.

We had an old Buick Century back in the day and we only got stranded once due to radiator fan not working for some strange reason. Car ran like **** for the 10+ years we owned it but it never left us stranded until that day. Luckily we were by lake Michigan and Dad sent my brother and I with two 5 gallon buckets and we walked about a mile each way for some cool lake water. The walk back was quite hard as 5 gallons of water is quite heavy when you're 12 years old. LOL

Dont forget about the Fun Full Throttle mode GS has!! I too was very disappointed untill I found full throttle.
The only US automaker I absolutely hate and I think is the worst us brand in reliability is Dodge. chevy is even better, but visually look disgusting
