I like the looks of the CTS better than the V myself....

...and the point is?

While some may think looks are important, most enthusiasts will not be swayed unless there is a picnic bench on the trunk or something utterly ugly; it plays into the equation but does not rule it. The '09 V will sell due to

1) performance-550/550
2) the Cadillac name-'nuff said
3) the V-series heritage-not a long one, but it sounds good
4) value and preference over E63, M5 and RS4-why overpay for Ubermetal

My '05 looks good, not perfect, I bought it because the test drive told me it was the 'perfect' car for me.

Great, buy a CTS and not a V :)

:yeah:

Thanks Boogar!

I'm going to buy a base 2008 CTS and do a motor swap. The worst part is I really like the SRX's interior. So I'll be using an SRX as a donor just for the interior. Except the seats. I've always loved the side swivel seats in the 1976 Monte Carlo, so those will be going in. Now for the wheels, I like the new 20"s on the new Escalade, so I'll be swapping hubs to accomodate the new wheels. All together with donor vehicles, parts and labor I should be able to get this done for $150,000. It was either that or a Porsche GT3. I wanted to stay with something American made. But I agree, the new CTS-V looks like ass. :sneaky:

I was with you up to the 20" rims. Why so small? :hmm:

looks like the stock CTS grille & the V grille will not be interchangeable...
however the entire rear looks to be identical
the hood, front bumper, & rocker panels seem to be the only major differences between the V & cts --exterior-wise

Definitely looks like it would take some major changes if at all possible.

Go ride your ****ing moped you jack off.


Oops! I mean you should probably get a CTS instead of the 550HP monster and scoot around in a chick car with a V6 you idiot...

Oops! I mean isn't a V 6 for your wife's car?

Oops!

You are so right, the new 550HP CTS-V looks like azz.
