Not sure about the look though.....but damm must be fun....

edit: me thinks it's ugly...well not quite, but when u pay $70k for a car it should at least look the part...

Quadcammer

good value, but a compromise car.


note, compromise cars also include the E63 and the M5.

The back seat in the 911 is a compromise isn,t it?

Magdaddy

I have always liked the look of the CTSV's. Since they first came out in???05 maybe.

The wagon version looks amazing too.

Probably never own, but me like!

IXLR8

It takes 6.2 liters to accomplish that.

And in the end, its still a junk American car.

bb993tt

Not necessarily. And, FWIW, I've passed a number of these with impunity on the back straight at MMC. Surprises the hell out of the instructors driving them.

IXLR8

I was wondering how they got so few HPs and NM out of an engine that big that is supercharged...not much of a challenge.

Quadcammer

I'm tired of the stupid nonsense you spew about american cars without any sort of factual background.

The LSA will make 620bhp all day long and will do it for 200k miles without a topend rebuild.

I'd rather have a 620bhp 6.2L supercharged v8 than a 620bhp 2L flat 6.

You guess which one will last longer and have more torque down low.

johnsjmc

American engines are able to produce enviable horsepower and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles cheap. The compaint I have had about American iron isn,t the power but rather the mushy ride and planned obsolecence interiors. Look at a 10 yr old Honda Civic .The interior still looks like new.
The CTS with or without the V8 is an impressive package and I would think it comparable to many models of BMW or Mercedes

IXLR8

Did I attack you personally? I think not! So please keep your personal attacks to yourself!!!!

If they are such great cars, why then did they need all that bailout money...oh wise one?

Furthermore, how often I spewed anything about American cars in the past? You're high on something.

IXLR8

Exactly. Why is it we don't see any Caddys in great numbers percentage-wise 20 or 30 years later. They are throw away items...just like a BIC pen.

johnsjmc

And a BIC pen is a good working but cheap pen .

IXLR8

I've never managed to be able to use up all the ink in them before they quit working. Now my Pilot V5...flawless.

Quadcammer

I'm not attacking you. I'm attacking the silly and absolutely useless comments you make about american cars.

The bailout money has nothing to do with it. GM sold more cars than anyone else for years. Their legacy costs and UAW extortion are separate matters entirely. Furthermore, the CTSV and cars like the Z06 are what I'm talking about, not their economy products. The corvette z06 makes a carrera/carrera S look silly on almost every track in the country.

You have mentioned several times how american cars are low tech and how it was the worst mistake for you to own one.

You seem to like complexity for complexity's sake.

I'll take a V8 that is small, light, strong, reliable, simple, and extremely powerful all day over the highly tuned race motor that makes the same power, half the torque, and needs a rebuild every 10k miles. The LSX line is one of the best series of engines ever made.

Hp/liter is the lamest argument in the world.

Lets see, what would I rather have, a 2L engine with 80hp/l or a 4 liter engine with 60 hp/liter? tough choice
