Bottoms up

thought it was gonna be less $$$

 

[007bond]

I wonder if this is gonna get the old dealer markup due to "market demand."

Edit: Just wanted to add...I think the car looks great, and is a fantastic value for a performance sedan. Me want!

 

[Vette73]

400hp!!!! ???? Is it getting a Z06 motor? I can't believe Chevy is allowing this. Either that or the Corvette Z06 will also be getting a upgrade.

But yea I can see it now. "Why are you telling me it cost 60K when the sticker here says $49,999??"

 

[kalster]

yucksss

uglyyy

 

[ElFenix]

i love dealer markup. looked at an 03 cobra the week it came out (was on ford lot looking at focii). $40,000 sticker... $10,000 "fair market value" markup

has a certain appeal, but its ugly nonetheless.

beemers have so much more style and class.

style is arguable, most people seem to hate chris bangle. as for class... well... the 1 series is beat that into a pulp.

Yup 400, 5 less than the z06. They did this to try to keep the Z06 owners happy. But, the C6 will base at 405hp at least, with a z06 version of that gettin near 500hp. (New engine will be a 6.0L variant of the current motor I believe)

It's gonna be funny to see this CTS go head to head with the BMW that costs $25k more than it.

I'm a fan of Caddy's new design, but this CTS-V is just beautiful in my opnion.. very clean. And you are very right about the 1 series. There goes the BMW prestige factor.

I love it!

I don't like the head-on shot, but otherwise it's OK.

<--- Would only drive a Cadillac if it was free

 

[Jombo]

50k base to drop, which will prob baloon upto like 55k i'll elect for the smaller m3 or the s4.

if they made a caddy that somewhat resembled a vette, that's one thing, but a 50+k ride that looks like a transformer logo? no thanks, but at least gm is now trying to be competitive.

0-60 in 4.6..... yum!

 

[BigSmooth]

Still don't care for the looks, but you can't argue with the performance. :beer:

It's more in line with the M3 than the M5, size wise.

And who knows what the next M3/M5's will bring? The CTS-V is being released at the end of their lifespans.

how much does an M3 cost in the US?

48K for the M3, no price info avialble yet on the new 5 or M5 with 500HP V-10


Lol "Cadillac's answer to the BMW M5 will start at $49,995" They must mean the M3

There wont be any Sedan on there that can compare to the new M5 but it may cost 75-80K ouch!

 

[vi edit]

/me starts using GM card as much as possible to frantically start wracking up GM points

 

[StageLeft]

Given Cadillac's resale in a year that $50k car will sell for $30k!

 

[EXman]

50K for a caddy is tarded

buy one in a year and it will be 15k less

Don't think so. Most Chevy's drop like a rock in depreciation, but an Impala SS(From 94-96) or Vette Z06 don't apply to those standards. This will much the same. Limited production, highly desired, and very performance oriented make for VERY good resale.

man i like bimmers too...but to say that this doesnt look anything close to as good as a bimmer is just taking a fanboy attitude
the CTS is one of the few american made cars i like and would buy if i had the money

the new vettes are on metro detroit streets. My buddies got some pics of both the hardtop and convertible a few weeks ago. Front and rear were camo'ed. The hardtop looks really sleek.
