Normally I make some dumb a$$ comment about someone getting rid of their Camaro, but In this case I approve. I would would love to have one if I had such deep pockets.

Having said that, you have one awesome ride...best of luck with it
You also pay more on the CTSV for Cadillac quality, more comfort and a better interior. I'd easily choose a CTSV.

What????? The V is as quick or quicker than the ZL1, despite the HP on paper, PLUS you get a much nicer interior and a lot of extra features on the V.

Well I'm sure it's fast and luxurious, but (IMO) you took a big hit in the appearance category. The Gen5 Camaro is the best looking car on the road.

I would not say that at all, the CTS is a very striking vehicle. Besides look are subjective and after being out for over 3 years the "looks" argument is not just old, it is just lame......

It's absolutely subjective. For me... this CTS is too angular and has too much flash (chrome), too many lights, just too much.

The "Camaros are beautiful" argument is lame? They've been out 3 years so they can't be the best looking cars on the road? You're right... it's subjective. Camaros still turn heads everywhere. I'll guarantee in 3 years (or less) no one will even notice this CTS.
