This is the summary from the article -
The CTS-V offers an extreme amount of performance for the dollar. It’s capable of ferrying five people in relative comfort to 200 mph, a speed some supercars can’t reach. It looks good, handles well and is a ton of fun on the road. It’s totally usable as a daily driver and comfortable to drive.
It’s not the most luxurious or modern option. It doesn’t represent the next big thing or the future of Cadillac. But it’s rolling proof that, when the company wants to build the best performance sedan for the money, it’s capable of accomplishing that mission. We hope that, even as the focus shifts toward SUVs, Cadillac will keep making compelling sedans that make our hearts race.
So how is that a failure?
