Hello,
We had a chance to check out the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V here in Detroit. The vehicle looks great in person. We have attached a few images from the show. They also have a cut away of the new motor. There are quite a few things that are of interest when viewing.       
More details to come.
Thanks,
Dr. Design |

So, did you bust anyone's ball in regards to the Hypereutectic Pistons? 
We'd all love to hear GM's response!  |

Are those the recaro seats. I would think the auto show car would be full dress. |

I'm goin' on Monday. I'll check 'em out.
Would LOVE to have better support in my '05. Wonder if they'd bolt right in? 
(BTW: Your avatar is in my top five! Is that a UPS driver?)

Recaro seats are NOT standard, they are an option. As far as the pistons, we have a meeting with GM tomorrow and we'll keep everyone updated on the results. Thank you. |

Thank you. | What do you think the chances are they will give you folks any indication of pricing for the vehicle ? Expected MSRP base and / or fully optioned ? |

Estimated pricing is between high 50's and low 60's. We'll try to confirm tomorrow in our meeting with GM. |

I hate to be "that guy"..........no, I really do, but the wheels they decided to go with are just plain weak.
Great job on the pics, BTW. |

lusterblade . . . you da man! 
I'm trying not to have covetous and lustful thoughts about the '09V for fear my trouble-free '04V, hibernating in the garage, will read my thoughts and . . . .

Great job on the pics, BTW. | I agree with you on this one. But what really counts is that they're 5 lug, so swapping them out will be much easier. | | Cadillac Discussion Tools | | |
