2009 CTS-V Sales Consultant Details Book



http://www.corvetteconti.com/blog/wp...ls_book_61.pdf

Great details and a comparo with the C63/E63, IS-F, and M5.

Just posting out of general interest. I'm going to try to score one of these in paper to add to my V brochure collection.

The whole brochure strikes me as....."U-S-A! U-S-A!"

They also say it went from a 3.2L V6 to.... and it was an I6. If they are splitting hairs then everyone splits hairs. Cool car, but seems kind of sad if you have to produce such a document to justify purchasing one, there is so much more to any car then how it specs out on paper.

^^^^^
Don't forget, the brochure is for salespeople, to try to talk them into buying a V instead of an M3, etc., and they assume that the person who is looking at a V is looking at other supercars AND will know as much, if not more, than the salesman. It's really not for us lay folk. They should get their facts straight, though, admittedly.

I posted this mostly because I've never seen an "internal" sales document such as this. The guy I bought my V from certainly knew his stuff, as much as I did about the car, and now I know why.

BTW....driving this car with the windows down is pure sex now that I have the Corsas. Holy fawk it sounds good.

Also, in comparing to the IS-F, the IS-F has two piston calipers in back, while the CTS-V has four pistons in back. That is a two-piston difference, not four, as the manual had stated.

Someone hsould get fired for misleading people and not doing a QA on this.

The CTS-V is amazing. Now all Cadillac needs is a sub CTS-V car that can take on the M3/C63/IS-F/RS4 so the CTS can just battle it out with the M5/E63/RS6.

I recently drove a new CTS-V and I was dumbstruck by the amount of power and V8 thrust...Pictures really don't do it justice, it must be seen in person to be appreciated, it's a gorgeous ride and a fast one at that.

I passed one last Thursday night. Beautiful black one with darkly tinted windows. Such a gorgeous car. The owner was just cruising, making everyone around jealous. Such a sweet ride...
