all foreign and all are fully covered.

Who is the one that looks what is going on….

The 2010 CTS-V is open for orders now, and the 2012 CTS-V Coupe will start taking orders
in 17 Months….

since 02April09 I have the 556HP beast, and it is the best riding, handling, and fastest 4door at a price many can afford, sure you can spend 95K to 190K on up and get a tad faster, but not by much….. the CTS_V the 2009 or the 2010 can be had for mid 60K. The 09 V rocks, the interior and the electronics are first rate…….. The speed is so fast you need to make sure you got your shoes tied on tight.

Never again will we see a 500hp engine that passes emissions and has a warranty sold off a showroom floor.

I rented a “regular” CTS recently. Once I turned off the traction control, hooning was easy and the car quite predictable. Coming out of a (sorry) 3 series sport package, I was very, very impressed, and no excuses had to be made for the CTS.

Yes, I could see that car with 500 hp, and would select it over an M5, if only to have the supercharged v-8

the car is great. The car is fantastic, The car is beyond the bimmers, MB, Audi… this sedan can whip them all right out of the box… stock.
The M5 is 25K more and is a loser on all reviews side by side with the 09 CTS-V just goggle and look at the video of the M5 losing….

The fit and finish is great and with 3200 miles on my V it has had no problems. Other owners report the same results….

I am very proud of GM & Cadillac

I have two V Series Cadillacs in my garage right now that just rolled past the three-year mark for my ownership, last week. My experience suggests one shouldn’t worry about this upgraded 2nd-generation car falling apart given its visibly more evolved design and assembly. Neither of my 2006 V Series cars has had any reliability or service issues. The CTS-V did have the pinion seal recall despite no prior problems. The interiors in both cars still look new with no visible wear. Rattles haven’t surfaced despite unforgiving run-flat tires on both vehicles and L.A.’s deteriorating streets. Paint remains excellent with minimal attention. Electronics work as intended. Maintenance requirements have been limited to wiper blades, tires, brakes and fluids changes.

Having driven the excellent 3.6L DI CTS, the new V heads our list of contenders for next sedan. Mike’s vividly impressionistic review describes about what I extrapolate the car to be, from personal experience with the new DI car and prior Vs.

I guess my chance of guessing six important numbers at lotto is equal to GM ever making anything like this again. :(

On balance, this car is probably the best one that GM has ever made. It’s the full package.

Oh, and that opening paragraph was brilliant: “…where the gravity wells of passing stars actually start to affect the navigation system of the CTS-V…”

Hehhh. You said “Apogee.” I had a bong in high school that was made by a company called “Apogee”…

Despite its two tons, it still is holy cow fast. In fact, its currently the fastest four-door on the planet (mainstream production anyways). And as a veteran of terrifying F-15 rides, the fighter jet metaphors are an apt description… but to tell the truth, I have never piloted a motorcycle, nor will I, as with my luck, I will kill myself (A-type personality where everything is a race and all…)

Yes it has power. But it also weighs more than two tons. Maybe I’ve been jaded by the ZR1s and Veyrons of the world, but 550hp in a two ton car seems fast but it doesn’t really strike me as “holy cow!” fast anymore.

Like dean posted above, I also used to own a 600cc sportbike. I would have used some of your metaphors to describe its acceleration for sure. Also words like barely hanging on for dear life as the bike tried to rip itself out from under me. I could only imagine what the new 1000cc sportbikes would feel like – I’d buy a new CBR1000 if I wasn’t scared to death of it. For sure I would use the jet fighter metaphors on something that fast.

Zing!

Ah, proof that this car is, in fact, a GM product.

Actually you proved my point exactly and my example was perfect. The part I needed was only made for ONE year. It was new in box, and thirty years old.

I could have painted one that was the wrong color, but I was able to get the exact, perfect piece thirty years later. And not in a normal color like black or cream or cordovan. It was Medium Turquoise a pretty obscure 1979 only color.

The there is very little except for the grille and V badging that is different than a regular CTS on the outside. And I am sure engine parts will be available for the 6.2 for years to come.

And, If GM keeps getting BILLIONS, they will continue making the CTS V and let it die on the vine. They disbanded the team that designs them. They will probably make them for the rest of the current CTS life cycle and not make a new one when they redesign the CTS.

I will go one better. Need Parts for your 1958 EDSEL? They are all over the net.
See: http://www.edselworld.com/Parts.htm They have some new reproduction tail light lenses for you.

Buy one, don’t buy one, but parts are not something I would fret about.

For a newly revamped model with 1 model year and a lot of upgrades compared to older models…….I think it _WILL_ be hard to find parts a few years down the road.

Also, your example as bad, because you can always get another model year part & simply paint it.

To make your company alive, you have to make the Cruze SS, Camaro Z/28, etc.
