WHAT? Did you read what I quoted? If a fully loaded V is around $70k, per the quote, and there was $8k in options, then a base V is $62k. No reality check needed. Hostility and attitude twas not started by me. You're so willing to be offended to anything I say, you blow right past simple reading comprehension. I feel bad for you...

Is modability a word?

If your using it.

Need to be careful how the term "loaded" is used with respect to the V2. This car will be fully loaded at 4200 to 4300 lbs no matter what options are on it - with the exception of the automatic tranny and oversized vista glass on the roof which is meant for a luxury SUV not a luxury sports sedan.

I think you missed his point. As usual, you tend to jump to attack before thinking.
I believe all he was trying to point out was that most people seem to be settling in on the base price of the V2 when referring to the car's price. Possibly overlooking the probability that the base and loaded prices may be several thousand apart. Notice I said MAY be.
Then YOU post:
So a fully loaded V and a base V will be the same price? If there's 8 grand in options, what revelation did you just bestow upon us?
First of all, I'm totally lost by your first sentence. Doesn't make sense to me. He never said a base and loaded V2 would be the same price. Matter of fact, I think he was stating just the opposite.
Then your second sentence read as very condescending. Again, not atypical for you.

You two are grounded until further notice.

Looks like modability may be a word after all.

The father of Mod hell has spoken.

You mind if I use Modability?

They can argue all they want Stealth- thanks for keeping the thread up top.

Who says glass roofs don't belong on Performance cars?

As far as $70k goes I would say that final pricing is going to be influenced by the relative lack of interest in the new V. I expect it to be on the lower end of whatever range they are thinking. My dealer literally can't keep the CTS in stock but has not had a single person ask about the V besides me. I will probably wait and get one using my employee discount after all.

2 preorders here already, and the car doesn't even come out for 8 months. One Dealer's lack of enthusiast customers does not necessarily represent the entire country.

I'm not sure a dealer representing on a cadillac enthusiast website does either

I am buying the car, just not sure that sales will exceed the old V's at this point.

I would be surprised if they don't.

The only way that won't happen is if the economy continues to go down the drain. The new 09 V is one hell of a car from what I have seen so far. If I didn't already own a Gen 1 I would most definetly bump up to the 09.

For the price I wouldn't be surprised to see more Bimmer and Mercedes fans in an 09 V.

Not a luxury sports sedan plus you can remove this piece of oversize glass at will and likely lighten the car by at least 100+ lbs.

The price will pull them in and the dealership experience will turn them off - Says the Bimmer owner.

The automatic transmiSsion owners looking for 400-500+ HP are going have quite a selection of 4-doors in the $60K range.

E65 for $85 compard to the S8 for $100 was the deal! C63 was on a turntable and really turned the heads of my 30-40 year old friends. 0-60 mph in 3.9!

The new Jaguar HK might be enough with just it's looks on the show floor with 420 hp in the non-R version. The CTS at Cleveland looked mundane and difficult to tell the difference between it and the stodgey STS. I tried to explain the difference to friends... The CTS had it going on on the road with a nice stout chiseled and musclular look. Uterior maybe better to look at but I saw a number of 195+ lbs looked stuff in it and the pass side footwell is almost gone!

No one was around the Lexus IS-F turn table as the lady chattered to no one.
