I like the interior, but the exterior enhancements make the car look heavier AND cheap.

I knew they were going to put a de-tuned ZR1 motor in it. Yay me!

I think everything except diesel duallies are going to get detuned ZR1 motors hehe
They have to recoup the costs of the $15,000 brake setups on all the ZR1's somehow

They have to do a lot more than reuse that supercharged motor to make back the money spent on developing the ZR1. All they can do is pray people will buy the luxury 'Vette.
This new CTS-V is going to be disgustingly quick..

I think the designers tried abit to hard to resemble the look of the previous CTS-V. The car's rounded curves doesn't really match well with the square corner bumpers.

The problem is that the GM design team tried to listen to the european critics - this is what happens when cars try to please too many focus groups

I feel the exact opposite.... the rear end makes sense, but the front end is too.... import rice like... too much metal mesh
