I think the M3 finally has some competition from america that can beat it.

I've been waiting for them to make this. Those stats look sick! I can't wait to read a comparison review.

My boss has a 2010 that I had an oppurtunity to drive...in a funeral procession. The V really shines to me because it was such a tame ride while we were just cruising at about 30mph for the better part of two hours, but the slightest throttle manipulation, and you are flying. I love it. The coupe is going to be great.

FocusDude · 08-15-2010, 05:08 PM

V-Spec is HAWT. The sedan smokes the M5, the coupe has now been brought in to kill the M3. I still love a BMW, but have been losing that love. Americans are finally stepping up to the plate, I just hope they don't stop short and continue to push the so called envelope.

Saw this puppy at the press release at the auto-show.

Couldn't be more amped for a Cadillac ever in my life.

gotvtec? · 08-15-2010, 07:15 PM

Yea man the cts v coupe is sick!

04specsonnn · 08-15-2010, 07:18 PM

Yeah I work at Cadillac and we got one on the floor. I personally like the sedan better cause I like 4 doors but these cars are so fun. I so wish i was one of the old guys that do dealer trades from florida for these things. Now I no why there old men... hah

gotvtec? · 08-15-2010, 07:20 PM

Yo alex how much lighter are the coupes than the sedans

recoil · 08-15-2010, 07:36 PM

Although I can't afford one, definitely not for me.

StreetEG · 08-15-2010, 08:06 PM

Those who are going to buy a bimmer are going to buy one. The amount of money for R&D to beat a caddy may not be worth BMWs time. Not just from those who are into performance, but from an overall market standpoint-- how many customers is BMW really gonna lose from that cts coupe going around the track a second faster?

That being said shame on BMW for letting caddy even come close.

Saab93Aero · 08-15-2010, 08:10 PM

idk about it.

i think id rather be seen in a m3 getting smoked by one of these rather than being seen driving one of these at all.

TheDon427 · 08-16-2010, 01:34 PM

I saw one of these this weekend down by the Hamptons at the Northfork Beer Fest. It looked amaaaaaaaaaaaaazing from the rear but a little funny looking from the side profile. It's a big car with 2 humongous doors, it just looked a little off. Still a beautiful car and I'd love to be able to own one. I'm a big BMW fan too. The interior of the V's are sick and I was actually looking to pick one up but now that the hp was bumped up to 500+ that's just totally useless to me. I'd be happy with a ~300whp car as a daily driver. Over 500hp and it's ridiculous. lol

Scapegoat · 08-16-2010, 01:39 PM

looks like i found my daddy car haha

jpalamar · 08-16-2010, 01:50 PM

I'd rather rock the 4 doors with the CTS-V. 2 door I'd go with the M3.

fightinchunk · 08-16-2010, 03:34 PM

wagon me please

turboman808 · 08-16-2010, 03:47 PM

I just don't dig the style. It's an awesome car but a bit to contemporary for my taste.

I'm still a jag man so I would have to take the XFR. It's a bit slower then the CTSv but the aftermarket super charger pulley can solve that problem.

CleanNeon98 · 08-16-2010, 03:51 PM

I'll be the first to say it. Ugly.

^^ Finally US automakers are producing a descent sport wagon. It just look heavy, although thats just something I'll need to get used to.
