      I should have been more clear, I assumed people would catch on the 6yrs / 70,000 miles Powertrain warranty. They added a year but cut the miles from 100,000 down to 70,000 miles. Perfect for owners like me who only use car for pleasure and put on about 5,000-7,000 miles a year and would never put 70,000 on in 6 yrs. Have only 25,000 in in 3.5 yrs. But a friend who drives a lot of miles is probably not going to buy another Cadi because she will top 70,000 in less than 3 yrs. Looking at a Denali now instead.
