“Why you wouldn’t:
You eschew any type of excitement in your life.” Beauitiful piece of language, that.

crackerhemi: You done lost yo’ damn mind!

jayjc08: The toyota crown isn’t a competitor. The C63 AMG and M5 are.

I really like this car

it could B the best car GM has ever produced
Lexus sucksa

Face it – the Europeans just got beat in the performance luxury sedan segment. Beat at their own game, and even at their own track! YOU LOSE.

Thanks for the comments. Actually I am just a small gear in this whole machine, but I will pass the kudos on. In the meantime please be patient as we get some of the glitches that come along with a new design ironed out.

V2: As for the old CTS-V, this new car is so much better, it’s not even funny. You’re right, time will tell as to whether parts will last, etc. But the new car can find its way around a corner pretty well. I think if you had a chance to see the old car next to the new one, not to mention drive them, even someone of your stature could see the difference.

If you REALLY want to hear a “European opinion” that matters… look up the Top Gear episode about the Cadillac CTS-V. And I seriously doubt Mark was being an “American being patriotic and writing propaganda”.

In other words, you’re full of it.

JAYJC08, THe comment carstuff made was a sarcastic responce the the comment crackerhemi wrote, he wasn’t serious………I think?

On the old page I remember occasionally it would come up with a pretty much white page with a whole bunch of symbols (not any internet language/ html I know, if not encrypted). As far as I know, that is now gone.

I find though the new page doesn’t seem to put enough emphasis on new articles. Something we’ll all get used to, but it was always the emphasis of LLN. BTW, is there anyway you can have the names still appear highlighted if they’re linked to another page? This was very helpful in finding my comment, as I just had to scroll down to a highlighted name.

Other than that, no complaints. The articles are getting better and better all the time Mark, the layout looks good and it seems everyone’s been hard at work with vehicle descriptions.

Hey, what can I say? Cadillac gives us a route book and pairs us up with another journalist. Neither of us had been here before, and all we can do is navigate for each other through the back roads of suburbia!

We always like to see small towns on the way to other cool places. Which picture grabbed you? The Pleasure Island one or the Bra on the sign?!!!!

BTW: Still having problems with the photo gallery? Mine is working fine so far on this end, but please let us know if you are still experiencing any glitches.

Thanks,

Is the photo gallery not working after the first photo for anyone else?

Talking about the competition… my favorite is Lexus’s GS series. It used to be an ugly, awkward looking car, but it’s come a VERY far ways. The interiors nice too, albeit extremely conservative.

Anyways, enough with that. I would dare to say the CTS’s interior is better than that of Mercedes Benz which have seriously slipped, and close to- or on par with Audi’s and BMW’s. I seriously doubt however you’ve sat in the CTS. The leather smells just like a new car scent, and feels new- not nice and warn in some, but not cheap.

Do you guys work in Detroit or something?

what a stupid statement.what do u think the chances of that ever happening.
and what mkr is he talking about?
mks maybe and then it is FWD so never gona happen.

this is the best car GM has ever produced but it only meets the standards it doesnt beat them.
i do love it though

One of my good friends has the last-gen CTS-V, and that was outright INSANE. I’m having difficulty imagining what 0-60 in 3.9 seconds is like. All I remember from that day tooling around in the CTS-V was tunnel vision and a massive headache from the brute force.

The interior looks gorgeous. I’m looking for a new car in 6 months, and was set on a luxe 4WD sedan or small SUV (Cayenne, A6, etc) for the Canadian winter, but now you got me thinking about this baby….in black….

No word yet on auto to manual ratio. Heck they didn’t even have MSRP yet. I’ve heard the boss mutter something about a road test on a Lada….

When did you get a chance to drive it?

The exterior is horrible and performance is horrible at best.
