talk about one badass car!

 

[JulesMaximus]

Someone explain to me why the hell GM can't put those seats in a Corvette? That car actually has a decent interior...although the exterior doesn't do much for me.

You call that decent? What would it take to wow JulesMaximus?

Yeah, I like it. WTF do you want me to do? Splooge all over the screen about a car interior? :roll: Jesus H Christ, I said I liked it.

Show me a Ferrari 599 interior and I'll get excited.

 

[Arkaign]

So this is the same motor as the new Z06 right?

 

[warmodder]

That interior is really sweet. How much will that car set you back?

No... It appears to be a de-tuned version of the motor in the new ZR1. The motor in the ZR1 has been promised to be over 600HP.

I think the whole car is sweet. As long as it builds on the CTS's qualities and performs in the neighborhood of the M5...I'd easily buy one over the M%. I like the exterior and I think the interior is far superior in design.

Edmunds Write-up

 

[fstime]

Nice and all but I cant stand that rear end.

It looks so... old man...if that makes sense.

 

[senseamp]

IS-Fvcked

 

[Insane3D]

I like it from a power standpoint, but all the caddies look horrible to me. Do people really think they look good?

Yes...I actually like the look...although to be honest I like the normal CTS better than this new CTS-V...but I'd gladly take all the other improvements and slightly worse exterior.

 

[zoiks]

Nicee..

 

[BlackTigers]

Wow, that interior is amazing looking.

 

[ponyo]

I don't care for it and can't afford it.. Then again, I not the buyer GM is targeting.

Have american manufacturers ever heard of sequential manual gearbox or even semi automatic??? seriously like, it's a way better alternative to automatic transmission for those who dont want sticks...

 

[AdamK47]

Does it come in orange?

i could ask the same of lexus and infiniti.

 

[sniperruff]

wondering how much this car would cost...

the CTS are one of the few american cars that get the design cues right.

GM has a few cars available with autos and paddle shifters.

paddle shifter != DSG/SMG

two totally different things. i also thought that too, though

take the Audi A6 or A8 with paddle shifters - its simply throwing the shifter onto the steering wheel with the paddles and operates the same as an auto transmission that can be shifted manually (VAG's is called tiptronic, not sure what everyone else calls it)

but in the VW GTI with DSG (also having paddle shifters), there are two clutches - one for even gears and one for odd gears.

yeah, the paddles give the impression that a car with them has some sort of DSG, but it's not necessarily true, hehe

You could also throw in GM's No-Lift shift manual on the new HHR SS.

I want it. I want it now. That's looks like one heck of a car. A badass car.
