Rule #2 - Going fast IS looking good!
I'd take one in a heartbeat (no pun intended). Cadillac has had a good thing going for almost 10 years, finally nixing the awful FWD crap in favor of RWD. I wish Ford had evolved teh LS, but ah, well.
As much as folks tend to ignore price during bench racing, in real life, it is a factor. And for teh price point, it is going to be hard to beat.

Holy blind spot batman! Looks good in certain aspects, but really unfinished in others. I think I'll stay with my Audi.

I don't think it's a bad looking car, but it almost seems like they designed the car, then built it at an 11/10ths scale or something. I'd still rock the hell out of one, though.

The car is butt ugly, heavy and small inside-and needs an engine big enough to pull tree stumps to make it hit those numbers. I don't get it.

Cool idea... except the Germans have been making rocket-wagons for a long time.
And, this will be your standard American-built POS in 3 years. Shoddy build quality + poor parts quality = overpriced junk.

I like the looks (the grill could be toned down a bit)
it's about the same weight as an RS4, C63, M5, etc.
it's not perfect, nothing is, but GM has come a long way with this one, imo
for reference
it's 500 lbs lighter than a Panamera Turbo
and is faster thru the slalom, by 1 mph

I actually like the looks of the standard wagon better than the V. If Caddy could just tone down the bumpers/grille and keep the nice wheels they would have the ultimate sleeper!
Interior is nice too, hard to argue that American cars are improving by leaps and bounds. About time.

Great looking wagon, prefer my pepper. Someone at worked traded in an m3 for a cts-v coupe and they can't stop raving. Faster but doesn't handle as well is what he says. Great looking car and even the wife said she would like to have one(not a car person at all)
