Cadillac CTS

[formulastig]

Have to say uncool after all the problems a friend had with his V and the subsequent bath he took on resale when he sold it.

Cool, Because it's a start to bring back the name for Cadillac, instead of those depressing huge FWD tank practice hearses old foggies drive fromt the 90's. Good job cadillac.

CTS uncool
CTS-V up to 2008 uncool, because you can't tell the difference between the two other than the V badge. Yes it performs really well for the size of the car it is, but you have to give some more discerning features on performance model cars.

Now, the 2009 model CTS-V is a whole other story, that is weapons grade fire power right there. It looks way separate than the standard model with the wheel arches and reverse intake hood. Nevermind the sub 8 minute ring busting performance.

For that particular CTS model, I give it a seriously cool. Also because of the completely redone interior as well.

So sleepers aren't cool?

Sure sleepers are cool, but the previous V's weren't "civic with a LS6 under the hood" kind of sleeper, it was more like GM was just fine doing the engineering part on the car and not any distinguishing body work for it.

The Audio RS4 is a good example for them to work by. And the new one seems to be an end result. Seperate from the S4 but not so much that you'll think it's a new car.

Hmmm - perhaps you were mistaking all the V6 CTS's with fake V badges.

The real pre-2009 CTS-V, are distinct from ever angle - and there was your 6 speed luxo missile right there .
