The new V does 0-60 in 4.2, 3.9 with roll-out.

the CTS-V is a refined luxury muscle car.

I give the CTS-V Coupe a lot of respect in the performance department, but the back end makes it look like a Prius or wagon/suv. It looks even worst in person.

I like the look of the whole car. Looks fast too.

Two WAY different cars, but I do appreciate posting your perspective.

Hard to compare, since both cars were built with two different priorities. Our Z is a sports car, so they've taking a bunch of stuff out AND stay within a price point. The Caddy is a luxury sedan first and they ADDED performance. I think both are great values (but I don't particularly like the chrome on the Caddy; though I think it would grow on my after I drive one).

Interesting - I like the coupe in pics. Gonna have to check one out on the lots (and get an excuse to visit a dealer showroom floor

).

Ok - you sold me. That's pure sex. I'm gonna drop by a dealership this weekend and check the coupes out while the wife shops.

The Wagon for comparison:

The CTS V Coupes are horrid looking.
