CTS-V

So in a nutshell...

Audi is in the shop, I'm in Disney for the weekend... needed a car... friend of mine who owns a Caddy dealership hooked me up with a sweet new CTS-V.

Thing is a beast. Tons of power, tons of good looks, tons of comfort. Love the character of the car... very edgy/aggressive, while still maintaining a luxury car ambiance. Its not perfect, but I'm a big fan. Easy car to become attached to.

Thinking about picking one up. Wondering if there were any V owners on this forum? If I picked one up I'd be changing out the pipes IMMEDIATELY... this is the quietest 556hp machine ever made...

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CTS-V

I'd trade in the camaro if I could have afforded that! You'll basically beat anything on the road literally!

The Coupe or the 4 door? Personally I like the Coupe More

I like the body style of the coupe, but practicality would demand the sedan.


The car I'm currently driving is a wagon with the blacked out wheels/yellow brembos, which looks a lot like the batmobile haha.

Car looks great, and I sat in one at the DC Auto Show with the recaro seats. It was really comfortable. I haven't gotten the opportunity to drive one yet though.

looked at a Coupe yesterday, wasn't a V though....wive's turn for a new car, only way it's happening is if the Camaro goes....and the only way that's happening, is if it's a V.
The dealer told me that they're having lots of problems with pigments though due to Japans issues and that it seems like every other day there's a new constraint on a color ....for that kinda coin, I'm not gonna compromise my preferences.

Took a V Wagon to Florida over Christmas. Really nice machine. And actually exceeded the EPA highway number..............not that it really matters.

the CTS-V is a monster in a formal wear. I considered it, drove my friend's a few times but in the end, it was just too comfortable and quiet for my taste. Maybe when I am 50, I will appreciate that.

We currently have the coupe version of the wagon you had. Black Diamond Edition and it is amazing!!! My favorite care ever (and we've had all varieties).

Get one-you will not regret it. I wasn't crazy about the back end of the coupe when they first came out, but when I replace my sedan I will be getting a coupe. Love it!

Hey wait a minute I resemble that remark. Turning 50 in DEC. Just bought an IBM 2SS/RS Hurst. One of the first mods after delivery is a Flowmaster or Borla Catback w headers to make it LOUDER
CTS-V is a monster but agree it is way too comfortable and quiet which isn't a bad thing for some. LOL
