Yea I know it is. I also assumed GM knew that as well when they entered the market. Guess they made no progress at all.

I'm not talking about the CTS-V

This is the Vsport.. twin turbo V6. Think Lexus Fsport, except it's not just some badging and lipstick.

Then why the previous post?

I will say.. with an MSRP just a few thousand less than the V.. I'd buy the V.

Only one I can think of is the Jetta SportWagen, assuming it can still be had with a MT.

Didn't someone at GM say they only needed to sell 4 Vagons or something like that to break even? I'll try to find the quote.

EDIT: Jalopnik and TheTruthAboutCars say Cadillac only needed to sell 5 to break even on devlopment cost.

So, if you see this in your rear-view mirror, is it excusable to piss yourself...? Just asking.

Especially when there are TWO of them

It's like swimming and seeing a shark and crapping your pants and then realizing that the first shark was blocking your view of the second one.

Hard to imagine a Veyron is the size of a 458. It looks massive next to one.
