CTS-V is a car that I want.
I met one at a stop light about a month ago. I wanted to see what would happen between us, and I think he was thinking the same thing because as soon as the light turned green we both hit it.
He took me, but he wasn't exactly running away from me.

I'd go with the sts-v. The new CTS looks very good though. The base CTS is kind of a chick car, or at least where I live it is.

My mom had an 04 CTS.
I hated that car, and so did she. It was no fun to drive at all, there are huge blindspots, the dash is too big and doesn't leave enough legroom, and the backseat is the same. The sport shift thing is a joke.
Whatever gets you from A to B, I guess, but the CTS makes me think it's just there for people to say they have a (disappointing) Cadillac.
Maybe this one is different, but just the sight of one makes me cringe.

Bobby, what migrated over from CGP? My Cadi opinion, or the photoshop opinion? I don't care for the Cadi's styling at all, but I am diggin the photoshop Brown did. Hope I didn't offend Herc, or make this place hostile.

The "Cars" thing started over on CGP not too long ago.
