How about this Caddy?

Nice looking...I've always liked the 4-door convertible look for some reason. I agree with the article though, I would like to see more pics, some with the top up.

Oh, and $19K on top of buying the CTS...way out of my price range.

Is the CTS really that good of a car? It seems WAAAAYYYYY too played out and its only been like 2 years of the new body style.

It looks good, but the pricetag is way too high.

It's won a Car of the Year award. It's interior belongs in heaven, and the powertrain includes the Brand new DI V6.
In Short...it IS that great of a car.

I agree. If I could afford it, I'd rock a CTS-V over almost any other luxury car in its class.

Sit down in one and i think you will be pleased. i have wanted a CTS since they first came out, but i am no where near capable of being able to afford one.

i want a CTS-V with an LSA a friend of my mother in law has a CTS and let me drive it....well, they "made" me chaufer them around. i was their cabana boy for the weekend. suited me fine, cus i dropped them off at the shopping centers and drove around town, they'd call, id pick up their bags and they'd move on to the next store. nice car, great power for the size. didnt get a good chance to check out the handling tho.

It just came out later summer of last year. So no, it hasn't been on the market for two years. Lastly, go sit in and drive one and you'll get the hype. A guy at my work is trading in his '06 S-type Jag for a fully loaded CTS 3.6 DI.

The fact that has been out even less than two years makes it seem really played out lol. Seriously, a coupe, the CTS-V, a convertible, potentially a wagon....Maybe my family is doing worse than I thought but how can people afford all these cars? You guys in some major debt or what...and some of you are in college probably...thats just nuts- especially those seriously considering a fully loaded car of any kind.

Even though I do want to go try it out and "feel the hype" I'm not going to go sit in or drive one because I can't afford it, so why get myself up for the let down :( Med School and then the end of it can't come soon enough.

With all due respect my friend; if you that's how you see it then you shouldn't be saying anything.
