The base CTS increased 14% over the outgoing model. If the same rate hike applies to the CTS-V we're looking at $75k which as King T points out above is still considerably better than the competition. Also remember that Cadillac's tend to sell for much less than MSRP vs German counterparts. Take the ATS for example. The ATS on average sells for $3,800 (11%) under MSRP, whereas the average 3-series sells for $1,400 (4%) under MSRP. Granted the ATS represents an entirely new segment for Cadillac but the point remains, there's more wiggle room for domestics.
