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

Default performance is one thing. But look at that car. It looks like Mecha-Godzilla, laughable.

I mean seriously, how can dropping a vette Engine in that thing put it anywhere close to the same league as an M car, S car or AMG?

Some people put too much stock in raw performance. That thing will be nothing but a straight line hauler for the 50+ set.

I'm still laughing at the thought of that thing being compared to any of the aformentioned cars.

Default is430? I would prefer something all new...

instead of modifying something that has been out for 6 years. If the best lexus can do is modify an is300 then they are hurting. I was never too big on the is300. The is300 has not created any buzz what-so-ever. Lexus will have to do more to get my dollars.

GM should rebrand this model as a new line ; Using "Cadillac" brand for this CTS-V is a mistake IMHO

Default Per the new Autoweek, Cadillac is going to take on BMW/Mercedes...

...moving into the performance luxury market, and Buick is going to take on Lexus in the plush quiet luxury market. I wish good luck to them, but the styling has got to get better, although that can be said of a lot of the new models these days.
