The M5 is $70k, the CTS V is going to be about $45k.....just a tad cheaper.

It's not gorgeous like an M3, S60R, or S4.....but holy shit, a 400hp V8 in a Caddy.

This car is going to sound ridiculous, I just think its going to be humorous seeing the looks on peoples faces pulling up in this car.

Not to mention, I'll bet they are going to get 4.7-4.8sec to 60 with it (crazy).

I agree that it's not gorgeous, but I think the body kit, new front end and the 18" rims make it look MUCH better than it did before.

If I had the $$, I'd really consider getting this car. The LS6 is one of my favorite engines in the world and for the price it's a steal.

1. They really need to get rid of those fog lights in the front

2. Pop Mec. says, estimated price is $50K, someone else said here it is $45K, I say it will be lower than all of the above. Maybe even significantly lower. We'll know in about 6 months.

I highly doubt its going to be $50k, that is unsafe territory...even for a 400hp CTS.

$45k give or take seems to be a safe bet, it may even come in at a few grand less.

I think they're gonna try and get $50 large, but when they don't sell you can pick one up cheaper. I think it's a big improvement, but who's gonna buy them ?

Yes, RWD.

Ugly car, I wonder if the ride harshness that so many magazines complained about will be addressed.

That body still works best as a SUV.

Don't worry when they do not sell well, GM will offer 0% finance and $2500. cash back, a free Led Zed cd, free gas for a year and then just like that convertible they sold a few years back they will discontinue. Not with standing all of that, the resale will be like every other GM, Ford next to nothing. The M5 on the other hand does not have a resale problem.

We'll see about that with this car, its essentially a Vette with 4 doors......all the GM Motor heads are going to want one.

It will all depend on how many they are making, how good it really is, and how much the economy is sucking wind.

As a whole, American cars have never held value as well as a Foreign car....except for maybe the CL .

There will be some cool shit coming out of the big 3 in the very near future.
