CTS-V MSRP: $59,995

[fbrdphreak]

The Cadillac CTS-V has already proven that its impressive power stats translate nicely to the track with sub-8 minute 'Ring times and a 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds. The General is also positioning its new 556-hp halo sedan as a performance bargain, having announced today that it will go on sale around November 1 with a starting price of just $59,995. That's more than $40,000 cheaper than the less powerful XLR-V, and we'd argue the CTS-V is more attractive with its v2.0 Art and Science styling and works much better as a daily driver with its back seat and usable trunk. The CTS-V also makes the larger $80,900 STS-V sedan completely irrelevant considering its 86-hp power advantage, improved aesthetics and quicker moves. Even the vaunted BMW M5 with its higher starting price of $83,900 and less powerful 500-hp 5.0L V10 engine can't touch the CTS-V in price or performance.

I'm going to sell all my possessions and live in this car. O-M-F-G. It's cheaper than a ZO6. Much cheaper than an M5. XLR-V, STS-V? Hah.

It just might be that the depreciation on this car might be not as bad.

Still pretty uninpsiring appearance, but that is great power for the cost.

Without a doubt.

Looks GREAT...the only thing I hate is the headlights.

 

[Arkaign]

A true bargain! Probably won't void your warranty by pressing a button, either

I've liked the CTS since it first came out but now I REALLY like it. Takes my mind away from the Corvette too.

 

[Apex]

Wow! Man, that's tempting.

Cadillac CTS-V: Serial killer in a tuxedo.

doesnt do it for me in the looks department, but its beautiful underneath the hood.

I don't get what the big deal is. I can't get excited about it too much. Cadillac just...it looks very uninspiring, maybe if I was a CEO, but I couldn't imagine driving that thing around and enjoying it too much...maybe I could, but it looks too bulky. While the m5's grill is massive and intimidating, this car appears to be big...and that's it. Very wide, like an obese individual, as opposed to the rippling muscular appearance of the M5.

But it does have promise.

Damned impressive power, but god it's fugly.

Who cares. You don't buy this kind of car for the MPG.

No way, the ZR1 gets 14/20 and it's much more aerodynamic, much lighter, and uses a different revision of the same motor.
