It’s nice to see GM still throwing some high performance around despite the looming gas crisis. Let the people who can afford gas get their limited run cars, but keep building econoboxes for those who couldn’t care less about performance. I think having the best of both worlds is going to be the only way to keep their sales up.

Very cool

Holy crap!

I consider myself to be a BMW fan, but this Caddy is awesome. I don’t think it will handle as good as the M5, but with that kind of power, the M5 will need all the help it can get. And, the CTS-V looks amazing!!!

wow

I consider myself pretty lucky to own an E39 M5 AND live in Germany at the same time. What sucks is when you hit 250 Kmph you hit a wall. I can have the car chipped/tunned to exceed 250 (155 mph) but I think I just found my new car.

I love the styling of this new CTS and I think the interior is world class, something the E60 M5 cannot boast of. Can’t wait to get my hands on one of these!

I’m sold. Saving up now for a 2010 model. Now we just need to find out what the price will be.

the M5 still rules….

Niice! Good to see some competition from across the Ocean!

The M5 once ruled. No longer.

I like the M5, but the interior is not as nice as the CTS-V’s, and the engine has a serious torque deficit. It’s also a bit too pricey at $85-90k. We don’t know what the CTS-V pricing will be, but I can guarantee it will be substantially less than the M5.

Horsepower wise the Audi RS6 trumps it with 572 hp.

If you notice, say, in the next 6 to 12 months what seems to be a disproportionate number of used BMWs, Mercs etc on the previously enjoyed parking area of your local Cadillac store then you can call the CTS-V an unqualified success. Until then it’s just a four-door Vette.

“Until then it’s just a four-door Vette.”

I could think of worse cars to own.

True mr.meanpants, but the RS6 is not sold in the important American market. I agree with oldraven I could think of worse cars to own.

**** yes!!!

This owns its market … everything else looks like effeminate ****.

Kinda like “NoNameDufus’.

Impulsive, stop acting like a jerk. You do not know me in person, and if you acted like this to me in person, you would regret it in short order.

556hp and 551lbs torque? 0-60 in 3.9 seconds??? Holy ****! No wonder it set a gring lap record in the production sedan class. I hear this is going to sticker around 56k-59k which is a jump from the 50-51k the last gen CTS-V stickered for. However quite a bargain considering what an M5 would cost.

‘Dufus’, you are a lump of horse poo … I would toy with you like a rag doll.

If you want to believe that.

I think its obvious to everyone by now that Impulsive and Denton are the same person having a schizophrenic argument with himself.

‘Dufus’ is a primate … his posts are evidence.

kewl!

Daaamn… This is quite impressive, GM!

@ davebo
I never thought of that. You may be right. The ‘noname’ personality is a real ****tard.

That’s epic……..can’t wait for the coupe.
Another blog was reporting it would do 60 in 3.5 seconds they also had the 1/4 mile time at 12 seconds.

Sweet!

I wish I had Deansters (or a useless degree) job so my broke union ass can afford one,

Well, the timing is impeccable. GM is only 10 years late for a fight in the supercars category. The question to ponder: is a billionaire who buys Ferrari for weekend drive will not buy one and get a Caddy instead? When GM finds such billionaire they should quickly invite him for a test drive.

10 years late..HUH?

BMW- M & soon Tii
M.B. AMG & their Black Series
Audi- S & RS offerinngs
Corvette- Z06, ZR1

Maybe you’ve been in a coma for 10 years, open your eyes and look around cheif.

correction -chief.
I don’t think one has to be a billionaire or even a millionaire to be able to afford what will probably be a $80k Cadillac.

Have you been paying attention Badass? The CTS-V will be at MOST 60k but most will prob sell between 60-65. The coupe, who knows but I’m gonna guess more since a more limited production and better performance.

Yup, I have. 60-65k I stand corrected. So that makes what the other guy said…. even more ridiculous.

How is it going to be at MOST 60k but……sell between 60-65k. That doesn’t make any sence. What I think you ment to say was………..It’s going to cost $60-$65k.

PS. If you’re going to try to mock me by asking if I’ve been paying attention……….at least have it make sence.

Yea but I’d like to see how much gas it drinks first….

davebo, I am not Impulsive, I am a serperate person, end of that topic. 400horseSS, I agree this would be a great car to buy, guess I will settle with the Dodge Ram half ton with a diesel (not in the same league really, but I like the torque from a diesel).

@SWM335,
The CTS-V can out-handle an M5, just look at it ring time. And to think it was with a slushbox.

@400horseSS,
You can have an equivalent performance car on the cheap. Buy a G8 GXP and a procharger, you’ll be pushing 600hp. Or procharge your TBSS, that would be a sick truck.

Side note, once the Canyon V8 is out I plan on picking one up a year or two old on the cheap (hopefully a regular cab 4wd) and procharging it. Should make for a fun little rocket truck.

Impulsive and Denton should just make out and get it over with. At least chat it up in IM so we don’t have to hear your pet names for one another.

I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for that 5.3L Canyon/Colorado. That was pre-CAFE news, and before oil hit $100/bl. I haven’t heard mention of it in months.

yeeah muthaphuckers
GM pride

I hope you’re kidding. Gas? It’s gonna drink it like no tomorrow. Lots of gas. Gas is irrelevant with this car. Nobody buys a CTS-V giving a crap about fuel economy. That’s not what this car is about. My guestimate is 14 city / 24 highway. Want better fuel economy? Buy a Prius.

I heard that Frylock.

‘oldraven’, don’t be jealous you’re left out … bend over, I’ll give you some too.

Because you haven’t learned how cars are sold/priced. The CTS-V will prob cost at the dealer 60k, with most of the consumers opting for add-on products/upgrades bringing the price up to 65k or so.

I agree. My guess on the pricing is 63k base, 70k fully loaded.

Z06ified, is right, epopel who can afford this car are not worried about gas, even though GM did say this will be the most fuel efficient V8 in its class.

lol I think anything is more efficient than a V10 powered M5. Still a kick ass car…

Need4SSpeed, BMW is hoping to make the V10 with more power, more displacment and more efficient when it becomes a 5.5 liter V10 with twin turbos.
