weather appears to be decent in Monticello tomorrow: around 55F and partial sun. Could be a little better, but could also be a lot worse

*The_Blur* · 10-28-2009, 01:45 PM

It's a sedan. Put 3 or 4 of us in it with you, Bob!

AngryAmish · 10-28-2009, 04:13 PM

Bob and the CTS-V are the giant monkey on top of the Empire State Building that everyone wants to take a shot at, but nobody wants to get close to.

Good for Bob, and shame on everyone else for putting out products they won't stand by.

haha lol... this funny that they are all backing down

And I must say I love Ray Wert for completely calling them out. I'm surprised the Jag PR guy didn't note his American/GM bias. He did practically acknowledge that the CTS-V is better on the track. I'm kinda saddened that Top Gear has never done a formal review/test of it. They loved the XFR.

And rob a few percent of flywheel power. The Evo may be a quick car, but its not a fast car.
