I haven't noticed anyone mention this but cadillac.com is already updated with pictures, 360 degree views, specs, and a video of the 09 V.
I still see the post referring to magazine articles, so I hope I'm not telling you guys old news.
They even have a write up about the CTS coupe concept.

Interesting site
Under the Product Info page "...the goal of the CTS-V is to be the fastest 8-cylinder production sedan in the world." I wonder what criteria they plan to use for "fastest" and when they say "8-cylinder" does that mean the BMW V-10 is excluded?
They also say the "CTS-V is a 550+ horsepower, supercharged...."
Surely they know by now what the engine dynos at. Why the evasiveness?
Also some interesting hood and exhaust panel treatments on the "Sketches" page.

Also the "Events" section list which auto shows the V will be at next. Looks Houston is up next on 1/26
MB's V-12 has the fastest sedans, modded or not. Can't beat a twin turboed 12 cylinder. With chip and exhaust it will run high 11's. And that is with a really tall 2.63 gear in the big luxo barge S-class!

They screwed up - when you click V series at the beginning of cadillac.com, you only get the STS and XLR. I have to wonder if Lutz is keeping the numbers under wraps, because he can bump them as necessary depending on what AMG and M do as a countermeasure between now and when it ships.

When you bring up the V page with the STS and XLR look down below where it says "Introducing the all new 09 CTS-V" and click that.

Cool they have a start then. But they need to get the agency moving and push it thru the whole web site, even the ordering portion if they have a way to configure it without price. But start with that huge picture of the 2 V's. It is out of the picture - literally and figuratively. These updates take way too long. They should splash at the same time with the big on stage introduction.
They only have the STS-V and XLR-V shown in the picture because that is what is for sale right now. They'll put the CTS-V on there closer to sale date.
