If it was a V it would be cool. On its own its just another executive vehicle.

Uncool. Garish looks, still not on par with cars like the 3-series. Cadillacs reputation does the rest.

Well, though choice.. I was tempted to give it a cool because it is different, it will make for a good change compared to the tons of German saloons we see around, like gray, I went for uncool in the end because it isn't the V

The CTS-V is a cool car, the normal CTS feels kinda cheap with a few low quality plastic components lying here and there. So I voted uncool.

But if the depreciation of the CTS makes it a sub-$10k car after 4 years, I wouldn't mind getting one

I think Al needs to clarify if we are voting for the V or not. and if not it should be changed to the V.

I was half joking about that but it's not entirely impossible *if* CTS gets the same depreciation as the old Catera it replaced

According to http://www.canadiandriver.com/articl...7-00catera.htm a 4 years old Catera would cost C$18k when the msrp was C$45k. The msrp for the CTS is C$39k and with all the rebates and "employee discounts" GM has these days, you never know how cheap the CTS can get few years down the road.

I drive a GM car myself, I don't even want to know how much it's worth now. It sure depreciates alot faster than its 0-60 time ops:

Since many of us have voted, that should be a new entry

I voted it as a cool....because its beautiful, its quite nimble, the sporty version is approached quite a lot to the M5, E55, RS6 performances, and its cheap....if it wasnt enough, im not very picky with the cars built quality as long as they reach a certain level.....

The difference is people actually want to drive the CTS..

What were the sales numbers on the Catera? Oh thats right, I don't think Ive even seen one on the road lol.
