Very nice. I especially like the behind-the-grill shot.

They already knew. They just forgot a few important things some years back.

Great commercial!

Although is it really the fastest production sedan? I thought the porsche panamera turbo had that title.

Ok, Bob. Enough is enough. You're killing me.

You know what's wild about this? Who in their right mind ten years ago would have ever thought that Cadillac would eclipse the world's contenders and emerge the best of the best in this category? But thank God they did.

Interesting, porsche hasn't put a time with that around a ring though, I think at least. But would the hatchback be called in the same category as a sedan?

Ahh, well I am young and I believe when I started learning about various cars they weren't too good. Well not on par with some of the manufacturers over seas.

While widely reported, Porsche never officially confirmed the time, so Cadillac apparently kept the honor and the marketing behind it. Lame, yes, but I suppose it's good for marketing.

Does your workplace block YouTube? I see the vid just fine.

Still nothing to sneeze at. CTSV is a bargain price compared to the ugly Porsche.

Yes, that sound is most excellent.... I think I will get one when I grow up....Porsche may be embarrassed to say that the Panamera can't keep up. Now BMW and Mercedes have to try and top it.

Thanks for sharing Bob.
