I think one of their main guys was on "Autoline Detroit" and said all of their cars would receive "V" treatment. Not their trucks, of course. It was also interesting to listen to his down-to-earth perspective on the "pimp" culture created by the Escalade and hip-hop and how that helped bring Caddy into the limelight.

Cadillac is helping me put faith into American cars for the first time. But they did open a plant in China...

 

The chassis and powertrains may be stunning, but the designs sure arent. :eh: :down:
The XLR is the only one I can tolerate.
The CTS is just plain awful.

 

the cts already has the V, wouldn't it be smart to save the huge horsepower for the sts-v?

 

My guess is that they wanted to develop the car right now rather than wait for the new STS and then the STS-V to come out.

BTW, the STS-V will get a more "traditional" Cadillac powertrain, that being a supercharged Northstar V8 rather than a Chevy small block.

 

Gawd damn :jawdrop:.

That's bad ass!

 

Ive heard 475-500hp, which sounds more believable for GM. You have to remember their "Thou shalt not surpass the Vette" commandment. With the next Z06 rumored to be at least 500hp, it is almost certain that the CTS-V plus will be allowed an equal hp rating, but no higher. They will allow it to surpass the base vette as long as they still have similar power to weight raitios.

 

A-freakin Men!

 

:shocked:

For $65,000, that's an awesome value.

The rear looks mean as fvck. Look at those tires in the rear. Those have to be 9.0+ inches.
