I am one of those stupid Americans that own a 2009 CTS-V .

I see you all in my ear view mirror, with you doors blown off and tears in your eyes.

Hate us not because the CTS-V is a better and faster car for 64K US dollars than the twice to three times the cost of your euro cars… The 2009 CTS-V is just better, and I have no thoughts of the snob appeal owning a MB, BMW, or Porsche.

BTW, the V is as advertised, one very fast puppy, many have been modding the car and getting very, very fast times. Boosting the HP up with small changes, the Sports tuning people really can speed this car up because it has the LSA engine.

The etyling is fine unless your just trying to be a nabob, jackwipe

As the BMW advert says: “It is not how fast you go… it’s how you go fast”….

You always have the average joe (knows nothing about cars) who hit the jackpot at sharemarket, poker, lotto etc too.

hehe 15 years is a long wait, I know when I was around 16 or younger I was dreaming about an F40, not I look at it i’ll rather the Enzo, or even a F430… Scuderia of course , somehow I cant stop oggling at the Gallardo each time I past the Lambo dealership at Chapel Street here in Melbourne….

People wanting to buy this car has performance pretty much at the back of the mind,

Well I would think that this usually is the case with a lot of sports cars. By the time a lot of owners of Ferraris and Lambos etc are able to afford them, they would be pushing retirement age if not already over it.

Me however, I would like to own a Ferrari F355 (my dream car as a kid) by the time I turn 40 in 15 years time. I think this is a realistic goal, so long as in the future I’m not married to a woman who has me on a tight leash.

I can see rich people wishing to be unique buying this car, or those rich american expats who land high end job roles here in Aus…

I was just thinking…. inorder to promote the new Cadillac CTS surely they would have chosen a range of photographs which show of its best features or were taken from its best angle…?

Then I realised.. It doesn’t have any and there isn’t one.

I mean the front on pic with the two women getting out of it. shows people its got a “smile” similar to that of a pimply faced adolescent wearing braces.. not good! and the two girls look like they are a couple of Mexicans who have just made it [ilegally] across the USA border – are about to dump the car in the middle of a field in the middle of nowhere and make a run for it.. not a good image

I just noticed something is that the VE GTS rims on the first image of the Cadillac?

Nice perfomance and not a bad exterior with a nice interior.

I’m more impressed after watching the video of the 7min59 lap around the big ring.
