I'm happy with my 2013 CTS-V but not very happy with General Motors. There presently is no 6.2 liter v8 for 2014 so why did they post it on their website and make it look like you can buy the high output V8. Why would they even call the 2014 a V when its nothing close to previous editions. They cheapen the brand and they cheapen themselves by doing this. No wonder the Germans are always considered as above them in quality and everything else. No class and plain stupid.

I'm now a moderator convert. Pissed in the passed about censorship. But this is awsome. Good work on outing this guy and exposing this crap.

This... overall.. says something about the V. Its better than a BMW and MB in a way that make others upset. Letting the truth out hurts there brand at the core. Germans make great cars but the V is just that much better with great value.

It's pretty interesting reading how self righteous and assured the OP was, completely ignoring what others were trying to tell him. I'm afraid to find out what the OP does for a living dde27 He's probably in healthcare software development...
He's probably Snowden's brother. Maybe he knows some top secret encrypted shit we don't. :D

Looks like I'll have to take a picture of the sticker on the car that reads "2014 Cadillac CTS-V Sedan". Now, if this is GM's way of bait and switch, it's pretty dubious. But, I've sat in the car, looked it over from stem to stern, and certainly read the "official" window sticker, and it does read 2014. Surprised the heck of me since it came in two weeks after I took delivery of my 2013. I'm aware that the V Sport is a totally different car, and it's why I opted to jump on the 2013 CTS-V, because I wasn't all that interested in the V Sport.

The 2014 V models (not V-Sport) are carry over of the second gen CTS body styles. This is true for the CTS-V sedan, coupe and wagon.

the Toronto mayor is probably the OP. Saw the footage this morning of his <allegedly> threatening to kill somebody......there is much discussion about who he might be <allegedly> threatening to kill....but we know he is referring to one of the numerous members of this forum that dared to explain to him that there is a 2014 V8 CTS-V.......

I just can't believe what my future holds have cost. I made a mistake and didn't know about the cts-v sport compared to the regular cts-v regarding the sedan. This then turns into a political forum and thanks to Toronto's Mayer it's now all of a sudden something that has nothing to do with Cadillacs. I said that Cadillac and most north american manufacturers are lacking a bit at times with the Germans. But many Americans here like to call me a moron or a loser or whatever for speaking the truth and my mind. Fact is more people buy German cars high end cars than north american high end cars. Its also a fact that when an american manufacturer out does a German , then they respond with a counter offensive. Case in point is the new BMW M5. Yet when I mention my opinion onnthisni get reamed on by idiots and bringing up politics who bad mouth Canadians. The fact is the better counties to live in is not the USA. Its not Canada but most western European countries if you want to talk politics on this board. But having said that can the idiots who bad mouth me and anyone else not from this USA please start to talk about cadillacs.

You spoke your mind. There was no "truth" in anything you've said in this thread. You talk little about your mistakes and then deflect, deflect, deflect...

YOU were the one who started with stereotypes and name calling. Then, when others do it your panties bunch up.

As for idiots, look no further than the title of this thread...

That's not political, that's pop-cultural.

Maybe next time spend a couple of minutes reading before firing off an angry rant about another person's or company's arrogance/stupidity. Or at least take a hint when the "facts" of your rant are called into question.

And don't try to salvage your pride by shifting subjects. Whatever truth you may have spoken was lost in a sea of wrongheadedness and defiance of basic facts. Just quit while you're behind.

The OP has obviously never been to any of the countries he strokes himself thinking about. I have. My wife actually lived in Germany for a couple of years. For the most part people are in debt to a level that would make Americans blush and don't have nearly the quality of life we have. As for everything else he said, it's his usual crack induced nonsense.

There was never an issue with this. None. Where there was an issue is when your pride got in the way and even after you were "corrected" you continued on. Where you'll run into problems quick (as you've seen) on boards like this is when you simply refuse to own up and admit you f-ed it up. That's not a big deal at all. We've all done that at some point so we get it. Keep that in perspective and you'll go far here. If not, pull the plug because the target will be tattooed on your back like Steve-O's face which will make a painful experience for you and an entertaining one for the masses. That's my last attempt at diplomacy. Enjoy your ride. That's what it's all about.

This is a joke, right? Lived in Germany for 4 years and brought home a wife. Visit DE quite often and keep in close contact with friends and in-laws. You comment bears no resemblance to actual fact. Lower quality of life? SERIOUSLY? Have you ever heard of things like the Autobahn, Biergartens, and the Nordschliefe? Look I love and LITERALLY serve America, but no need to falsely tear down other countries to make the point that the OP is foolish. He's perfectly capable of doing that on his own.

Actually, my wife was LITERALLY serving our country for 14 months there. Her brother LITERALLY served our country there for two years as well after LITERALLY serving in Afghanistan. And her father LITERALLY served there for two years a long time ago. As for the quality of life, you mentioned great government achievements of a semi socialist country, the Autobahn under Hitler. That is not what I was referring to. I was referring what the general population can afford. The average person there has nothing compared to what we can afford here in America. They also don't have the opportunity. If your wife's family was the exception and not the rule, that doesn't change the facts. Funny thing is, she moved here instead of you moving there. Wonder why not the other way round?

----------

You spelled Mayor wrong, unless that is how it is spelled in Canada.
Maybe he was confusing the mayor with John Mayer?

----------

...and now we are truly off the rails and headed for a completely non-car related round of geo-political silliness.....

Where is that padlock function........
That battle was also lost a long time ago...

I lived in Germany for a few years and while I can't speak to personal finances, the quality of life there is not lacking. I also don't see how having or not having opportunities there differ from here in the US.
