I did "The Cadillac Experience" at Monticello Motor Club in NY last month. 90 minutes of track time, with instructor, in the CTS-V Sedan, Wagon, and Coupe. The Wagon had the best balance, and the Coupe was the most exciting to drive.

These cars haul the mail, for certain. Monticello has about 20 of them by my count, and they say they have very few problems. The brakes are massive - the rear caliper is the same unit as on the front of a Cayman. Of course, you're dragging a lot more mass down from speed. The magnetic suspension fluid works wonders, they gave us a demo on how fast it reacts. It measures and reacts to every inch of road at 60 mph. Also, the technology has been licensed to Porsche who incorporated into the new motor mounts on the 981/991.

Our cars had the Recaro seats (air conditioned too -aaah), so I can't comment on the stock ones. But overall it's a very nice piece.

Too bad about the bailout.
