Clarkson's thoughts on the CTS-V

[cheesehead]

I might just point out that Cadillac also does a very nice 306 horsepower direct-injected 24 valve V6 which is quite a lot more advanced and quite a lot cheaper than the big V8.

*sigh*

When will people see past badges?

Heh, funny. A Honda owner wanting people to see past badges...

That's a Miata, not an S2K.

I feel the same way about Hondas. There isn't any Honda that I would buy or willingly ride in.

Never seen/driven an S2000 or NSX?

Meh. I used to be a huge fan of STIs, but I dunno. They're great, but they're too...based on electronics.

Great cars, but Hondas? eh...no.

I don't love the look of the plain-Jane CTS but the CTS-V looks pretty badass in person, especially in black. I think this new version could be Cadillac's best car in many years.

Clarkson's new article on the Vespa had me cracking up at work.

I agree with you.

Um... contradiction much? A whiny, high-revving, peaky motor that needs to spin so fast it can send the pistons into orbit if it blows, is FAR from being "refined". An old Buick straight-8 that can be tuned to run at 250rpm without disturbing a glass of water sitting on the valve cover is refined.

2.42/gal out here in good ol Iowa.... for mid grade..

I agree with you.

I guess im weird, because i DONT like the grill of the V, but i LOVE the grill of the normal CTS...anyone know if you can swap them? I believe you can put the V grill in the normal cts in the sigma line, but dunno about sigma 2.

To me, the grill thing is worthless, the Cadillac isn't really a race car, or even a sports car, it's a classy, high powered saloon; well it's classy now I guess, it didn't used to be.
