World premiere of the 2009 CTS-V in 5 days.........

at 2008 NAIAS......

Cadillac accelerates into Detroit with another dramatic demonstration of its design and performance technology, the world premiere of the 2009 CTS-V. Cadillac's high performance V-Series represents the ultimate expression of the brand's performance and luxury, and the much-anticipated new CTS-V will include many significant technical and design enhancements aimed at placing it within the elite group of the world's most capable cars.

The 2009 CTS-V extends the momentum created by Cadillac's 2008 CTS Sport Sedan, which is earning wide acclaim from critics and consumers alike. Since September, CTS sales are up 59.5% in the U.S. CTS was recently named 2008 Motor Trend Car of the Year, headlining a long list of accolades that also includes positions on Car and Driver magazine's 10Best list and as a finalist for 2008 North American Car of the Year.

You're black. It's a Caddy. An awesome Caddy at that. You HAVE to like it! Maybe you just don't realize it yet.

Nope, I think it's awkward, like they tried to make a large car look smaller, and some of the proportions are off.

I haven't liked Cadillac's lineup this much in years. The Escalade is darn near perfect and the CTS looks great. The CTS-V is going to be perfection.

My buddy at Denso says they're having issues with the fuel pump in the V's. Denso did the pumps for the regular CTS's too. I wonder if the V's launch will get pushed back and I wouldnt be suprised if it that happens.

Not a fan of how it looks like it's always nose-diving and braking really really hard due to the steep lines of the car
