Pricing for the V sounds about right. |

70k sound about right...its alot compared to the V1 but if all the problems is fix like they say, its worth it to me. Plus I already promised my wife she can have the new V2 and I drive the old one so I have no choice. Dealership already has my information, just waiting for release...sigh, I want the new one too! |

At $70 it is a no for me. I love the car. I love my 05 V and even with 4 rear ends, I'm have trouble thinking of letting it go next year. I think Cadillac really needs to prove they can make a high performance car that performs without the issues we have had with the V1. As the old saying goes fool me once shame on me, fool me twice and no deal (well close enough).
I don't think Cadillac has proven that they can make a car as reliable as the other manufacturers that the car is constantly being compared to, and they need to do that. I'm sure there will be those that disagree with me on that one). Once they have, I think they can easily jump the price of the car to $70. Don't get me wrong, I am still trying to figureout how to get one in my garage next May, but not for $70,000. Can you imagine paying $70,000 for a car and having to replace the rear end ever 12,000-18,000 miles (granted I do not expect this to happen, but)? My wife would kill me. |

70k is a bit much but when you're adding Recaro seats and 2 piece rotors and no lift shifts and launch control and Ultraview roofs and moar options, I think a potential $8G jump from base to loaded isn't bad. Otherwise, the potential $62G base price DEFINITELY gets you that value over the V 1 when looking at the interior, LSA, beefed up rear end, etc... |

Pricing for the V sounds about right. |  The BMW dealer around the corner from me has a few '08 M3's, all in the $50k's, and 1 M5. $98k ! Quote:

As for the '09 ... I already have a fast Cadillac sedan. If I spend another $60k it's going to be on a used C6 Z06 and a Maggie for my V. 
EDIT: One more thing to add - I have not seen an '09 CTS-V in person yet, but I do believe that pictures and videos are not doing the car justice, based on the '08 CTS's that I see on the roads now.

60k, 70k who cares. What else can you buy for this price that has 550+ horsepower and avaliable options. A stripped GT-R still costs more if you can actually find one and manage the impossible of paying sticker for it and at the end of the day its still a Nissan. Not that there is anything wrong with Nissan I own 2 Nissan/Infinity products and they are great but I have never heard anyone say "THIS IS THE NISSAN OF ******". |
