You've seen it. Would you pay 70K?

Oh I checked... and then rechecked on another site. I WAS wrong about the Z's time. It was the C5 Z06 that did 7:56. The C6 did it 1/10 seconds faster than the CTS-V. The new V is a bit heavier but it does have more power than the Z06 and it is no slouch on the twisties apparently. Wipe the floor? I think not.

They will sell... and I will fix them

... and maybe even go on a road test now and then.

I don't think it will be 70k, but even if it is, that's $10K less than my STS-V lists for, for a car that is better in every way. Bring it on.

Your times are still off by a few seconds.

Eh... different day, different time. So the sights I visited didn't update or the time on your post was newer. I am sure the V2 would post a faster time once a driver gets used to it.

My point still stands that this 4-door sedan is running within a few seconds of a world class "supercar". That is impressive as hell, I don't care WHO ya are!

Worth the money at $60K OR $70K. Of course won't own one until 2012.

[jlmcdonald21]

If I had the money, then sure.

[HushH]

Don't know that I will pay $70k for it, but that's not to say that I don't think it's worth $70k.

[Superior Cadillac]

pricingt has not been anounced as of yet. We will have to wait and see.

[AERO1]

It better NOT be more than $60K, fully loaded!!

Cadillac needs to show the world that they can build a world class sports sedan for far less than the ripoff prices being offered by Mercedes and BMW. I would NEVER EVER get a Mercedes or BMW. High priced for nothing! Their quality is terrible too!

$70K would be too much money for the CTS-V.

Heck, the STS-V is $80K. They have to differentiate the two from each other more than just $10K.

Well, that is an excellent point.
