Don't wait for the 2010 model
I would not wait for the 2010 model. It might not happen in a V. GM is going to trim big time and a low production model with bad gas mileage is going to get it first.

Don't tell Big Jim this, he will be crushed. . .
GM's not going to spend millions of dollars developing this car and then cut production after 1 year.

Money spent is money gone. If eliminating the V's will make the bottom line better (e.g., moving marketing dollars and production costs to a more marketable product) then they will do it, regardless of how much money has already been spent. GM currently has two high-dollar gas guzzlers (the Corvette and the CTS-V). They might decide having two is not a good thing.GM's not going to spend millions of dollars developing this car and then cut production after 1 year.
Bet you money the V will be around for 2010.Money spent is money gone.

I'd get in on some of that action, as well.

The V is made on the CTS production line, so unless they plan on shutting down the CTS, the V is safe.Money spent is money gone.

I have to wait, I'll buy when I'm ready, and if the V2 is not available in 10 or 11 months, I'll get something else. I fully expect to be driving a 2010 CTS-V.
The Vette is not a "gas guzzler" in the sense that there's no Gas Guzzler Tax. In fact, even the Z06 with the 7.0L V8 avoids the tax. The car just isn't that heavy.Money spent is money gone.

The 'Vette really is a "gas guzzler"; GM reduces that impact with CAGS.The Vette is not a "gas guzzler" in the sense that there's no Gas Guzzler Tax. In fact, even the Z06 with the 7.0L V8 avoids the tax. The car just isn't that heavy.
The V isn't going anywhere, but if it does I'd say GM is in trouble (due to the fed trying to run things to much).
What do you mean? They are from the government, they are here to help. They know whats best for us.The V isn't going anywhere, but if it does I'd say GM is in trouble (due to the fed trying to run things to much).
The CTS-V is accretive to the bottom line and is selling well. Nothing would be saved by killing it off. Thus, I say it will be here for the 2010 model year. And I plan to buy one. Unless GM offers 0% financing on a 2009, then I'll pull the trigger sooner and buy an '09. Or if NY state implements a luxury car tax like they were talking about, then I won't buy one at all.
A V3 in a few years? Probably not gonna happen. I think this model will be the last CTS-V for a while, and perhaps forever. I predict a 3-year model run, then it's dead by 2012.

My Vette with 450hp averages 25.3 MPG, and gets 33 MPG highway. Hardly a gas guzzler. :thepan:The 'Vette really is a "gas guzzler"; GM reduces that impact with CAGS.
