All of the negative talk is background noise, and mostly comes from folks who don't intend to buy the car anyways. Probably, if there was a thread that said "call my number, and I'll give you 5 lbs. of free gold", you'd get people complaining that they'd rather have 5 lbs. of free silver.
All of the "BMW drivers wouldn't consider this car w/o it being hugely less expensive" talk cracks me up a bit also. As one of the BMW-driving group (drove them for 15 years before buying the current V), I find it interesting how people are so willing to generalize. I was going to buy an M5 or an M6 in January, but decided to wait until the Detroit Auto Show to see what the new V looked like. It was interesting enough that I'll wait until they come out, and I will probably buy one.
I could buy the M6 cab if I wanted (my wife's choice - she wants me to get that car badly). But, I just like the V, or what I have seen of it so far, better.
I think part of it is this - it would be the "easy" choice, if that makes sense, to run buy a German car, like all of my neighbors have done. I like to be a little different (like when I jacked my car up to send Stealth my ECU, and I left it on jackstands for a few days in the driveway - had the homeowner's association all atwitter - it was great fun). Price isn't really the issue - maybe being a non-conformist is more it.
And, along the path of non-conformity, you just so happen to put your butt in the driver's seat of what I think is going to turn out to be one of the best performance sedans in the world. |

I don't think price is going to be an issue now that I've seen what the '08 M3 is going for. $72K fully loaded should give the V2 plenty of breathing room considering that I understand there won't be a whole lot of options to drive up the price. My guess is the "fully-loaded" price of the V2 will end up being right around that of the M3.
As far as the M6, I can't imagine anyone who really wants an M6 Cab would be interested in any Cadillac, let alone a CTS-V sedan. Maybe a XLR-V..... |

Wanting the V is a MAN thing. It is a manly car. Versus the queer bmw. If you didn't have your balls tucked so far back and get the makeup out of your eyes you might be able to see that. Quote:

Could someone maybe start a thread called "Pissing Match" (or maybe something slightly less offensive) where everyone can go to try and prove who's the toughest guy on the Internet instead of doing it in my thread? This is fun and all, but this thread was originally intended as a place I could do a little business and talk to potential clients, you know?
I don't even mind some smack talk, but at least try and keep it on the topic of the '09 CTS-V. If all you're posting is garbage, there's a million other threads you can pollute. Thanks.

He's trying to jack back his own thread! Or, is that unjack? Maybe rejack?
Maybe he's trying to get everyone to jack off. 
Okay, so ... uh-h ... Tony, when are the '09 Vs gonna hit the showroom floor, anyway?

LOL, If I get a V2, I'm getting it from you Tony 
Sorry for munging your thread. Why not ask Urby to delete all the crap out of it.
