Sorry I dont like it... I guess because I have never associated Cadillac with sports-like agressiveness. Then again its all in the market niche.

I have driven the older CTS-Vs, and they are nice cars! The newer ones should be better. A black one with blacked out chrome would be cool.

Could anyone black out the grill on the picture above?

That thing looks mean as hell. Definitely feeling the too much chrome comments, but it's Sick as f__k nonetheless.

only 4200 lbs! still lighter than all Mercedes AMG...even their roadster pff

looks like the older ctsV, just scaled up like they did the Escalade, made them look like monsters about to pop.

And, of course, there is the matter of power. It has increased nearly 35 percent for the '09 CTS-V, via a new 6.2L LSA supercharged V-8 engine generating an estimated 550 hp (410 kW) and 550 lb.-ft. (745 Nm) of torque. The engine delivers this power with remarkable refinement. A sixth-generation Eaton supercharger minimizes the added noise previously associated with supercharged engines, and tightly controls intake air temperature for optimal performance.

Looks like it's about to split in half with that seam down the centerline. If they smoothed that line out, it would look better.

Too many hard angles to that car, when cars of this era are going for softer lines.
