I have to tell you I love the CTS-V. Ever since I laid eyes on the first one. I loved it even more when I found out it had a 5sp manual. But, whats the point? I haven't driven a car in five years and when I decided to take my sweetie to the coast for our engagement I rented a Yaris or something like that. With atrophied driving skills and the absolute most base econobox I could find, I flat out humiliated every single other vehicle I encountered. From Z4 roadsters to Vettes to CTS's etc. It was bad enough on the slab cause no one wanted to even touch 80mph, too afraid of law enforcement I suppose, but when we got out nearer to the coast and things got curvy I was deep into the corners, well over the posted limits... ... needless to say I am here to talk about it. I was nowhere close to my limits, or the Yaris's. I'm going to buy a Prius and call it good. I'll get some wallpaper of the CTS and call that good too.

Yeah, that is the one I was thinking of.
I have seen photos of that car in some of my (old) car mags.

STS-V don't have the appeal of the CTS-V. The CTS have that aggresive look. Cadillac only car they have going is the CTS,all the other models have no appeal to me.

Default The CTS-V is a WOLF in SHEEPs CLOTHING!

This car is a beast. I would love to own one...and they sound bad you know what...on the street. Here is a cool video where they are track testing the CTS-V and the M5. The CTS-V is faster and 25k Cheaper!!!
