Re: New Cadillac CTS V PLUS
They are going to force you to use idrive for this generation. Thats how it is. I don't like it either.

Btw- My tivo grabbed that test drive of the CTS-V. It looks pretty good!!! I particularly like how it looks in black. I'm not too happy with the OEM tires being run flats though... No mention of wheel hop, big grins from the drivers.

LOL I don't think anybody liked it from the way the crowd reacted at the meet

Re: New Cadillac CTS V PLUS
The Cadillac CTS certainly has the muscle car looks. I don't find it in any way attractive; many sections look like it's been haphazardly stuck together with no coherent flow. (I also read that 0-60mph shouldn't take more than 5 secs for a STS-V Plus with more than 600hp? It must a lot of heavy stuff strapped on somewhere). Having seen this, the new M5&6 are really miles ahead of the CTS in aesthetic appeal and relative performance.

Ancient thread. This is a more updated one:

2009 CTS-V Numbers - NOT too impressive!

what wrong with looking like something out of the greatest cartoon series ever? LOL. My wife makes fun of me because of how many times we have watched the recent movie.
