09 V rumour thread...get ur 09 rumours here...yeah baby

[V-Smooth]

Hmmm, this brings up the question of MSRP...$70K? Last time I was at my dealership my salesman said that they plan on taking pre-orders in late '07. Seems a bit early to me but next time I'm down there I'm going to inquire further. I'm liking the sounds of this already...

If it comes in under 60k, if it's over 500hp if they fix the rear and if the CTS looks better in person than all of the pics I've seen I'll probably get in line.
If not, I'm hunting for a used AMG.

I'll have to see one before I plunk money down. And I don't expect to see one any earlier than January, in Detroit.

I don't have the chops to drive a fugly car the way CVP33 can.

dqw1, the base CTS looks dramatically better in person. We may differ on whether we like the look, but I can tell you that I was on the fence about the pictures. But the real deal is the real deal.

Bah I don't believe you, you've never seen the new CTS in person up close. The only people they let get close to those up on the pedestals at the car shows are Cadi execs and members of the V racing team !

Yeah. I saw the base one. It looks pretty cool. I think opinions will differ on all the light pipes and other jewelry it has, but it works in most all cases. I am still not sure if I prefer the base grill or what will apparently be a grill looking just like ours. I sorta woulda liked to see the base grill improved upon somehow on the V rather than just doing mesh like our cars. Seems that base grill could look really good with some mesh behind thos little wing thingys.

Hey Law, no argument here. I recall the 1st time I seen the CTS it was all I could think of buying and I was working overseas in the Marshall Islands at the time. Most people laughed when I told them the biggest reason for leaving my job was to buy a CTS. I bought ONE within a week of arriving stateside and broke down and traded for a V 4 months later. I want the 08 CTS (when I see it) give me the same feeling about owning the 09 V.

I think this pretty much sums things up.

I sat in one of the Euro spec mules a few months ago at the proving ground and the interior was fantastic! But I did notice the view out the back was worse than on our cars due to the increased rake of the rear glass (all the harder to see those Hemi's when we blow their doors off )
