The new cts-v seems to be the s4 and m3 killer.

Default Many more pics of that and my monitor will burn out...

I wonder if Cadillac will fvck up the suspension on that as bad as they did with the Catera, "The Caddy that wallows".

Default Re: Oh, I See. They're Trying to Make Them Ugly As Possible

And they achieved their objective in fine style. I'm wondering if the BMW&GM design guys all went to the same school. I just saw a picture of the new 3 Series design scheduled for release in '05. It looks like I'll be keeping my M3 a long, long time.

I figured they would do that, looked at a V6 and it had a lot of room left over in the bay.

Default Own a Caddy, I think not.

The last Caddy my dad owned should have been cut into small pieces and sprinkled over the Burmuda Triangle from a low flying plane. Instead some poor soul bought it as a used car and had to endure the wrath of General Motors part two. Whatever its fate my dad was just glad to make it disappear.

Default Too bad Cadillac....

...can't hold a candle to Audi's style, interior quality, and fun factor. I would take an A4 1.8T over a 400hp CTSv any day. HP is just part of the equation.

Default I guess I'm in the minority...

but I think the CTS is a decent looking car. It's not going to make anyone forget about the new SL500 or a F360, but it's not that bad looking.

Kudos to GM and Caddy for taking some chances. Too bad the boys building the new "GTO" didn't get the memo.

400 hp in a balanced, RWD, German designed car sounds like a recipe for good times.

Did you see the price? That car will sell well.

Default I'm with you on this one...

I also think it's a pretty attractive car. I like the look of the S4 better, but the CTS-V is hardly ugly (it'd look like a ferrari next to the Bimmer 7 series).

Until I hear otherwise, I'm gonna give Caddy the benefit of the doubt and assume they had a car that's both fast in a straight line a quick through the twisties.

I guess Caddy just raised the bar for horsepower in this segment and I can't wait to see how Audi counters this with an all new RS4.
