CTS-V info and PICTURES!

http://www.thecarconnection.com/index.asp?article=5941

Click on the pics for bigger version of the photos.

This looks great!

The wheels look better than I expected, the mesh grille looks great.

The airdam is a bit more aggresive, the ground effects are tasteful. The rear panel that is 'smoked' on the regular CTS is body color...

A pure 10!

Very nice. I'd like to see it in black. Wheels and the mesh grill look very good. After seeing that the GTO will have 360hp, I figured the CTSv would have to have more then it.

With the XLR coming in at $75,000, Is the $35,000 price tag just wishful thinking? I have been ready to buy this car for a while now, but I'm afraid it will come in at $45-50,000 when all is said and done. I mean, it cant under cut the corvette in price and have more hp, right?

If it comes in at the $35,xxx that Lutz said before... this could go down as one of the best cars, all things considered, in any catagory, that GM or anyone has built.

That is how strongly I feel about this car!

BTW, has anyone realized this is (at 0-60 in under 5 seconds and top speed "safely over 155") very likely the quickest & fastest production sedan ever made in the US!
