Hottest production ride - EVER

I have two Corvette's. One built by Chevrolet ('77, L-82, 350/350 coupe) and one by Cadillac ('09, CTS-V, Touring Sedan). Guess which one is faster and more powerfull, but not quite as slick looking - just by a little bit? There is not a Beamer or Mercedes worth the 30 to 40k more I'd be willing to pay for their prestige. Besides the Corvette Touring Sedan -V looks much cooler that either of them, especially out of my rear view mirror. Been there done that many times before and they flat out ain't worth it. Nor the 110K, at least, needed to purchase the coupe version of my CTS-V, i.e., ZR-1.

The best - ever, so far

When you get behind the wheel of this monster already cranked-up (thank you remote start) you really know how a jet-jockey must feel getting into the cockpit of their already fired-up jet. Strap yourself down, select the manner in which you choose to drive and take off! I do wear my silk scarf when ever I can before taking off. Power, speed, and control at levels unheard of with a production line manufactured 4 door sedan - bar none! Then there are the looks. Talk about a phallic symbol on a testosterone high. Just point me in the general direction and get out of my way. This baby will get there and get there with maximum Velocity; which is exactly what the V in CTS-V stands for.

Best performance sedan value in world

I first drove this car at Monticello in a marketing event. I was hooked. I bought the loaded Reacaro version with an automatic and I can tell you: this car is the real deal. It is a beast on the road and a beauty to behold. Loaded with luxury, handles lke a much lighter car, and will simply plant your head and body in the back of your seat whenever you ask. Here's a little secret: the ZR-1 engine is in this pup. You can easily get this engine to produce way more horsepower. In fact GM built it in such a way that it almost begs to be upgraded. A pulley here, new headers and cat back there, tune the tranny and engine, and there is nothing under 100k that can catch this car. Buy if you dare.

Now my 21st car & all else in past fails compared to my new CTS-V. I had my doubts with a American made car & it's quality.I wasn't sure I needed this much HP? I for sure never spent over $70,000 for any car before, until now! All I can say is this car is a work of art & gives new meaning to sport & luxury! I'm thrilled I bought it & it's worth every penny!!

"Life, liberty & the pursuit"

Finally pulled the trigger on the CTS-V as I could not refuse the almost $11,000 in discounts GM offers at this time on this model year. I cannot comment on reliability, yet, but I can tell you that you should NOT test-drive it unless there is a chance that you can afford to buy it. My test drive took 20 minutes with a smiling sales guy pressed into the seat and it was the most visceral and yet sublime experience I ever had in an automobile. External styling, interior, engine, suspension, brakes, steering feel, infotainment system...everything is a work of art. Cadillac absolutely hit a home-run and may have made the finest American car ever.
