Nice car - I am really happy GM is back in the game across the board.

For this particular car, I think they will have a problem with the target market's demographic..... we are knowledgable about cars. If I can afford a caddy, I can get the M5. The Caddy won't "suck the doors off an M5" and it won't handle as well.

Why buy this car?

Sorry guys.

This thing look crap. Its got enough style trowelled onto it for 2 cars.

Thats why you have German cars. They look good.

That thing looks like a reject from Tranformers.

And it will come with legendary GM service.

I cant wait for Clarkson to give a bollocking.....

Hillary looks good after 10 beers too boys.....

Speaking of Caddies, here´s one I´d really like, but maybe you´ve already seen it.

Check out the numbers!

My first thought of the picture above is that it was very unorganized

I think I'll get one and play with it as daily driver for a couple of months.
Talked last night with Mallett,he expects to get easily in excess of 700hp with reasonable cost (less then $20k)out of that thing.
I'll buy one and ship it to him right away,might be fun for a while....

I got beat off the line (most likely driver error) from a 2007- CTS-V. I did not gas it hard from the light untill he was almost two car lengths ahead. I started to real him in though but their was traffic ahead and we were forced to slow down.
