Maybe they are finally getting it!

Oh, the Corvette motors are just crazy good! Worth riding around in a plastic interior just to have that motor roaring...

unless you put this in it

the price and hp are enough for anyone to say caddy, but first, what is the torque rating? We know the 335is is a torque monster. I like the smooth lines of the 335 much better. Let's talk about longevity and quality. The caddy's value will plumit through the years, things will fall off your dash....

I wouldn't go with the CTS-V... it's cool and all but there are too many cons. Go with a used Porsche!

Oh, be prepared to lose about 50% value in the first year, too. All this, not to mention the really ugly Cadillac styling.

Do you have any idea WTF you are talking about?

The CTS-V SEDAN does 3.9 0-60 and a 12.0 flat 1/4 mile...not to mention a 7.59 'Ring time.

Yeah, this looks like shit will be falling off the dash. This interior is worlds better than your '07 3 series

[jaybird124]

CTS-V, Although I've always thought it looks like a vacuum cleaner.

551 ft lbs of torque; a whole different kinda monster.

I love BMW to pieces, but they don't have a car that puts out as much torque as the CTS-V. Even the new 760Li is 1 lb/ft less.

I'm sure the cts-v is a monster in a straight line, american cars were always built for that. It's just for me it's former bankrupt failure GM. I think if they have a 1 year lease go for it.

You need to buy a Lambo or Spyker to get that stock! Very sweet looking indeed.

How about the 7:59 ring' time compared to an 8:05 from the E92 M3? Stop justifying your purchase and accept that it's a good car.

I prefer he CTS-V Sedan... but yes. I'd pick it over a 3 series any day... that power is just ungodly

[Kroy]

cts-v

lol at that vaccum cleaner comment

[ruxp]

If you're looking at a CTS-V, why not wait for the F10 550i? Optional AWD + tunable 400 hp TTV8 = win.

[RoundelM3]

Yeah, on second thought, you should go for that Cattle-Quack. Be sure to order the "rapper" package with 24" chrome wheels and spinners, vinyl top with landau bars, and the 550-hp sound system with 40" flat-screen and six 18" woofers in the trunk. Maybe a few flip-down screens...oh, and check into the scissor-door option too.

No matter what badge they put on the outside nor which huge pushrod V8 they stuff under the hood, it's still a Chevrolet underneath it all. $62K is a lot of money for a hot-rod Chevy, just like their $100,000+ Corvette ZR1.

big engine != good car

[bmw6953]

I would never take an american car over a bmw! Even though the cady does have luxury and some preformance, a bmw is a better all around car in every catagory.

[BayMoWe335]

I love the "GM is crap quality" argument. American cars, blah blah blah.

[E90 87ss]

Yeah seriously give credit where credit is due. Can't believe someone is questioning torque on a GM engine especially a supercharged LS engine. The low end torque insane!!! And modern American cars can go around corners!!! If you haven't driven a muscle car powerplant you haven't experienced torque... or a turbo diesel truck... Seriously all the naysayers just haven't experienced muscle car goodness and I love euro cars.

Cruising at 40-60mph and being able to go sideways = torque...

[08-335i]

i will never give up BMW for a GM

I love the "it has a pushrod v8 in it and is really fast, so it must be a good car" argument.

[Fugly M3]

i had been looking at the new CTS coupe for a while, especially as my 135i continued to crap out. but bmw gave me a 335i coupe deal i couldn't refuse and i know if I got the caddy the love affair would be short
