The CTS V Coupes are horrid looking.

Remember that movie where those seniors encounter that thing from outerspace?

The same thing happened to Caddilac.

I think GM had to do something since Caddy's demographic was something north of 80 yrs old about 10 years ago

it'd put more of a smile on my face seeing grandpa joe driving one of these around town then an eldorado.

my neighbor has the CTS sedan with awd. it's a nice looking car. he likes it. the interior looked real nice too.

it's one of my favorite cars GM made in the last decade...

I drove the sedan CTS-V (manual) and had the opposite reaction. When I stepped on the gas, it felt like I was ripping a hole in space/time!

It's basically America's M5.

I know it's not a cts-v, but today My friend & I went for a test drive in a new 6-speed mustang 5.0 and I gotta say I was not that impressed with it. After driving it, it just made me realize how great the Z really is & made me appreciate it even more.

Reviving the dead here, but I can attest to the comments of the OP. I traded my 370Z for a CTS-V Wagon. No question the Vagon is much faster than the Z. I did get the Recaros and the manual transmission which if FAR better than the crappy auto tranny they put in the CTS-V. But it's absolutely a luxury car over a sports car. The exhaust has a mild rumble since the sound deadening is so effective and there's no hiding it's a heavy car in the corners. It's what I'd call an 'autobahn burner'. It's an absolute freight train on highway trips and can do triple digit speeds effortlessly. When you pass a car on a two lane road in a fraction of a second and look down to see you're doing 130mph about 5 seconds later, you appreciate the benefits of a large displacement blown V8. I've been driving it a minimum of 60 miles a day since May when I traded in the Z.

And after all that...

I just told my wife and father today that I miss my Z. It was a much more fun car. The CTS-V is great, practical, and super fast, but it just doesn't stir my soul like the Z did.
