Old news from the Automotive News thread.

It's still pretty cool...but then again why would anyone want to slum it in a CTS-V?

It looks cool, but not feeling an actual button while driving would annoy the hell out of me. Id constantly have to look down to see what button Im hitting.

x100 I keep going back and forth between the GT-R and CTS-V because I can just go pick one up tomorrow and that clip made me want the CTS-V Coupe more.

I'm going to have to wait a very long time for a reasonably priced V on the used car lots. That looks pretty bad ass! Can't wait to see all of the hacks for it, too.

You are missing all the puns and jokes in this thread about the CTS-V.

...don't come around much to car talk do ya?


...again when in doubt, slum it in a CTS-V.

Love the car, but that Bradley Hasemeyer from the video is kind-a a douche-bag.
I've put the wagon on my dream list because it's practical and fast.

Caddy just stepped up the game. Its awesome! If they keep it more open source so that apps can be built to customize things it will be even cooler

How would adding an app that allowed a different configuration or color cause a wreck? Allowing an application based software to do "certain" things could be done without creating an unsafe driving event

I dont see the point of this. Just seems like too much tech that is bound to go wrong at some point. Plus isnt this the same as the Ford SYNC?

I sound old.

Give me that raw power and 6 speed, keep the fluff.

I don't see the point in owning a car that goes over the legal speed limit either, but hey I sure like to option

:shakehead I remember the C5 Vette having it (I think the 50th Anniversary), but didn't know it was a Caddy that used it before everything else.

From wikipedia...

MagneRide was first used by General Motors in the Cadillac Seville STS (2002) and is now used as a standard suspension or an option in many models for Cadillac, Buick, Chevrolet, and other GM vehicles. It can also be found on some non-US vehicles such as: Holden Special Vehicles, Ferrari, and Audi.

The CTS-V is a super sexy coupe/sedan. If I was to buy an American car, this would be it, along with a 300C SRT8! I drool every time I see one on the road!

Love the ability to customize your own gauge displays....sometimes when you're doing spirited driving you just want to see the speed and revs, and then on other days you would like to see the temperature outside and what Pandora stations are playing.....very very sweet
