2016 CTS-V

Love how the car keeps getting sleeker with each revision. Bring on a wagon version!

Quote:
Much as the last CTS-V was a big Cadillac with a supercharged Corvette motor, the new one is an even bigger Cadillac with an even more powerful supercharged Corvette motor. If it ain't broke... GM claims 640 horsepower for the CTS-V, a slightly downrated version of the 6.2 liter LT4 you get in the new Z06. Torque is 630 lb-ft.
GM also claims 200 miles per hour as the top speed, though we haven't seen that verified. The same could be said of GM's claimed 3.7 second 0-60 time.
Magnetic ride is standard, as is an eight-speed torque converter automatic.
Worryingly, GM did not seem to make any commitments about a manual transmission. Or a coupe. Or —deep breaths here— a wagon.
When Cadillac reveals this car at the Detroit Auto Show, I'll be sure to ask serious questions about the car's design and not just cry and pee myself and tear apart my shirt until they tell me what's really happening with the wagon.

Doesn't look bad, but I'm definitely more excited about the ATS-V and the new Camaro on the ATS platform.

Need more fender flare.

But I'll still rock one.

Should be AWD anyways...

My uncle has a 2011 cts-v. Definitely a nice car.

This is me. it was on my "short list" when I got the FR-S (yes I have odd shopping habits). There is just something about this whole package that makes me want one.

Tbh if I wanted something in the category it would be between this and the Tesla model s... Forget the germans

I struggle to get excited for anything that weighs 4200lbs.

ATS-V is more promising.

Sounds mean.

from the article:
It was recorded by the Car&Driver magazine crew during the CTS-V reveal event in an enclosed space. While it's only a few seconds long, the audio sampler gives us an idea of what to expect when the car makes its full video debut in the coming days or weeks.

It's cool, but it still looks like a car that a middle aged banker would drive.

I really like the Honda fit. Plus I can actually afford it.
