Rumors I have heard is it will be redesigned for the 2014 model. There is no word on whether the IS-F will happen at the same time though or if there will even be another one yet.

I would go with ISF. I had a few lexus and their quality is by far better than any GM. Even with 150k miles they drive like they have 50k.

What is your opinion of these two cars? Which would be more reliable and better quality? Maintenace cost? Which one would you choose as your daily driver? Let me know...later.
Since you asked, my vote is for the CTS-V!

It's been awhile, but I did buy a 10 cts-v sedan. I even test drove a 10 isf as well. Really love the interior and smoothness of the isf. It had plenty of power for everyday driving.

Bought the ctsv because it's a fast and nice looking car. I can feel the power till redline everytime. I did like the isf interior more than the ctsv, but both had really nice interior design. I was more concern about price and found a great deal on the ctsv and drove 6 hrs. to pick it up.

I had the car for about 5 months now and haven't got bored of it yet. It's a blast to drive, but don't really use the full throttle as much. It's currently in storage for the winter now. I'm researching on mods for this car now and hope to make it a beast this summer. This is just an update...later.

Neuronbob approves of this update.

I'm pleased to report that there are other TL owners on the V board as well. You CAN like both cars, after all, I do.

Oh, yeah, you know the rules here in Car Talk. Pics or

Haven't taken any pictures yet, plus the car is still in storage with car cover. Won't be driving the car until april, but the car is all factory. Everyone knows what it looks like...it's white with black leather and auto tranny. Nothing special right now...later.

Who the hell buys a badass car like a CTS-V and puts it away for winter without taking ANY pictures?

you and these mods. if he is going to mod the car he may as well spend the money up front and get one that he doesnt need to mod. a modded 350 wont be as fast as a CTS-v until you boost it and that kills the whole reliability factor in a car that wasnt meant to be boosted. Im also not interested in anecdotal evidence of some guy on a forum who has had his 350 boosted for months or years.

The ISF is a really boring car, boring to look at (unless modded like that blue one on this forum) boring to drive in comparison with the raw power of a cts-v and the new V interior is gaawgus.
