Haha, love this car and i think with the sligth styling cues that Cadillac has done, it looks very sporty and it has the equipment to back its rep up too. Not only speed, but handling and braking as well. Read any review, I love this car.

Certainly looks like Cadillac has gotten this one right!! Car mag articles a couple of months back were ALL very positive.

I'm glad to see an American car company make a real attempt to compete in the high end sports sedan arena, even if it means some Caddy driver can absolutely iron me out!!

It doesn't matter how low they price it or how big an engine they put in it, it simply can't outrun its U G L Y. What is GM thinking?

It may end up being more beautiful than the new M5 however, and HALF the price.

Exactly my thoughts. Don't say anything about this car being ugly with all the new BMWs coming out. Those things are UGLY. I believe that the CTS-V has a sporty look while the new M5 looks too much like a cross between a birck and a blob. And for less than 50k, tis car costs less than the Z06 its engine was taken out of.

I do like the newer Caddies... But I am not sure if I would ever own one... LOL maybe as a beater or something but not as my primary car...

Ugly from where this is one of the few american cars that I would consider purchasing . and especially with all that horse power and brembo brakes I dont think lexus will start hooking cars like that anytime soon but i hope the do
