Heres a place to put the actual price info when its available.No way in hell i'll be able to afford it,but I need to accept this as soon as possible:banghead:

I'll crunch some numbers,got appx 55,000 in my car.Might get $25,000,09 might be $65,000 or $70,000.$45,000 out of pocket for the new V,not gonna happen:crying2:

I'm into the STS-V for 3 years, so I get to watch for a few. :D

If its 60K I'm getting it. Hopefully it is 60k. :(

Out the door UNDER 70k I'm in... Please

yeah me too... I have a deposit on one here in Illinois... 60 k is my limit though...

I'm in. Deposit down. Price will be reasonable and affordable to me. Cady won't put it way up there.

@ $5k over '07 pricing = $59k...optioned out near $70k? I'm guessing it will come 'well equipped' for around $60k. Oh wait , I forgot about dealer markup..........

My "guess" is low 60s... mid to high optioned... There will be more options on this car than there was on the 04-07 V...

Reed

What options besides the automatic?

The sticker will be under 60k, I'll say 59. No way it gets near the STS-V 77k sticker.

Under $65k brings one to a garage near me. :D

At or under $60k and it's in my garage. I'm sure it will come fully optioned already.

I was told by dealer the only options are paddle shifters and sunroof. He would NOT venture to guess price until the build.

$59k to $65k. Guaranteed. Ok, not guaranteed but well informed. Ok, not even that but just a hopefull guess from someone who can't even afford that.

Cadillac has already said recaro seats would be an option on the car.


07 V MSRP was what 54K ?
This model is physically bigger, larger wheels and tires, a supercharged engine with 150 more hp and tq, hand stitched leather, premium stereo with a 40gig HD, bluetooth, magnetic ride control and some think that's only going to see a 5-6K increase ? Then add in an auto transmission, paddles shifters and recaro seats and that's got to be close to another 2500.00 over the base, then our wonderful gas guzzler tax, 1500-2000.00. Cadillac is marketing this against cars that are 85-95K, even at 70K they are being very competitive.

+1: Well said - my thoughts, exactly.

All true, but the current V's haven't even sold as well as they had planned, even though they didn't plan to build many in the first place.

The CTS-V has done Ok, the other two models less than expected sales. However the styling in the 08 CTS is selling like crazy, both interior and exterior is very well liked by most. 04-07 CTSV was a good start with some dragging issues. A weak diff, early models with radiator and battery problems as well as the continuing peeling radio buttons, an average stereo head unit and it was a 6 speed only vehicle (to name a few). This redesign addresses everyone of those issues as well as bringing new things to the table along with more standard horsepower and torque than any of it's competition. GM/Cadillac seems to have a strong belief in it's sales potential stating approx twice the production levels of the current model. By what I see I think they are spot on and will have no major problem selling this car even at the 65-70K level. Just the simple fact they will offer an automatic transmission with the car will bring buyers that previously walked away. :)

Edit- I personally can't wait and hope Top Gear is given one of these cars to test drive. Odds are they'll put it up against the Audi, BMW, and/or MB C63 and if it holds it's own or drives away from them, that will only help.

Top Gear willl wreck it.:suspense:

Rat's, no HUD

Autoweek says $62k.....

http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080108/FREE/265358460

There's no way this baby will be under $65,000, unless GM really wants to make a statement on performance value and have all the mags heap accolades on it being an even better value than the Z06.

I hope that article proves to be correct (or at least close) on the price. One thing I keep thinking of is that GM typically does not raise the base price all that much when there is a redesign. The base price of the Vette went up a few hundred dollars in '97 with the C5 and that was a completely new car. The base price went down slightly in '05 with the C6 makeover.

Now, this car is really an improvement and the hp is going way up so I expect an increase, but think it may not be the 10k to 15k jump a lot of folks think there might be. Then again, who the hell knows. I certainly don't.

Here's hoping that article is right.

Under 70k in my garage.YESSSSSSS

Still clicking my heels....:bouncy:

The price increase on the CTS from 07 to 08 redesign has seen an approx 4K msrp increase, looking at the top end loaded model minus AWD. So folks can begin to guess what adding a much stronger engine, magnetic ride control, sway bars, 6 piston Brembos, larger wheels and tires, etc would add on top of even that price.

Autoweek says "around" 62K, I'm betting it's closer to "around" 65K + Guzzler. :)

I will wait to buy until the the spring of 2009 and get it for $37000.:crybaby:

I am guessing it will come out around $62-65,000:confused:

My guess... $62K for the base model (if you can find one)
$67K after the 6L90 auto, Performance Pack and Recaros are optioned in (the way most Vs will be produced)

A couple of things you must remember when comparing it to a Z06, the Z is overpriced by $5k. GM raised the price on the 07 model by $5k just because they could. The Z also has a one of a kind alluminum frame, carbon fiber, and the balsa wood composite flooring. With that said i would guess $69k base, $75k loaded.

Lets just hope GM realizes that the driveline must be STRONGER than a Z06 with the added weight and torque.

Come on now. GM wouldn't put a giant, high horsepower V8 motor in a heavy car and not upgrade the, the......................................never mind. :bigroll:

I follow Corvettes very closely (I've bought five new ones in the last seven years, and currently have an 08). You say the Z06 is "overpriced" because they raised the price by $5,000 "just because they could". If they could, then it's not overpriced. You seem to think that supply and demand somehow went out of style. It's worth what its worth. The fact that GM figured out how to make a little more profit on the car has nothing to do with it not being worth that amount.

Nobody is paying sticker for a Z06 now and hasn't for nearly a year. 2008's are $7-$8K under MSRP. GM had an excess demand for Z06 and watched as the dealers took down deals at $10K over sticker. Wanting to get in on the action, GM raised the sticker price. Flash forward to 2008 and now we have 989 2008's and 78 2007's. Can anyone say 200 day supply. The general better get moving.

Off topic; I just purchased a fully optioned Jetstream Blue 08 C6 coupe on 12/31/07. MSRP Sticker was $65k and I was able to purchase it for $1500 over invoice which close to supplier pricing.

The ZR1 is supposed to carry an MSRP of approx. $120k with unit number one being sold at Barrett-Jackson.

The General is supposed to manufacture 2000 units a year and it will be interesting to see how much over sticker dealers are pricing them at.

What is surprising however is that the Ford Shelby GT500 is still selling at MSRP with some dealers still selling them above MSRP several years into production.

I would not be surprised at all to some of the early allocation CTSV's selling for $10k above sticker.

The first Chyrsler 300 SRT's were selling for $12-$15000 above MSRP when first released.

Until they honor GMS pricing for the CTS-V and Z06, I'll be on the sidelines. Kind of stupid to exclude these models IMO.

You mean GM doesn't offer it or the dealership wouldn't give it to you? I thought I heard of a small town dealer around here that said he'd sell a Z06 for GMS...

Dealership won't honor. I bought my 2004 CTS-V in Cleveland and I live in Virginia. It was the first dealership I could find, after calling at least 50 dealers, that would honor GMS pricing. The new CTS-V will be the same, so I'll sit on the sidelines for a few months and wait. Impatiently. :bomb:

What other car do you know that the MANUFACTURER raised the price $5k because they could? GM can lower the msrp by $5k and still make their original projected profits on the car thus making it over priced by $5k. Its not all about supply and demand. There are a few Ferraris out there that Ferrari can raise the price $50k and still have a waiting list on but they don't. OBTW a 200 day inventory and massive discounts on the Z are starting to prove you wrong and with the new Viper and ZR-1 GM may have to take back that $5k off the msrp.

you guys can close this since theres another

All true, but the current V's haven't even sold as well as they had planned, even though they didn't plan to build many in the first place.

Do not discount the european market. Surely, 09 cts-v will be pushed there.

It will be a bargain there with exchange rates.

motor trend est. $62000, check motortrend.com

The V might be coming into the market at a bad time since they are talking about a recession. If they price it much around $70k I think a lot of prospective buyers will move over to the C63 if they want a sedan or a Z06 if they want a coupe. Given the depreciation rate of a Cadillac, the 09 V might be worth less then a C6 coupe in 3 years. I plan on keeping my next V for awhile if I buy one but I'm not willing to pay $70k for it. Cadillac should go after the Germans right now due to the poor dollar exchange rate instead of trying to make a killing on its cars. Until GM improves its depreciation rates, the smart buyers will wait a year or so until the new fad is over. But it all comes down to supply and demand. I don't think any dealer will sell it at GMS at first. There will be enough fools paying thousands over sticker to get the new thing on the market. The car is very impressive, but IMO it is not worth $15-20k more then a C6 Vette.
