Pic and specs for the new CTS-V are out. Thoughts? I'm attaching a link to the information, here are some of my thoughts:
Positives:
- Nice looking, love the front, looks mean
- Actually put some effort in performance, brembo brakes, high tech suspension, supercharged etc..
- Interior looks solid, probably the only American interior I like
- 550HP - can't complain about that
- Recaro seats are sweet
Negatives:
- Don't like the rear
- It's made by GM, I don't think I could ever pull the trigger on an American car
- Weight - Wow, it is a beast 4400lbs (negates the power benefit)
Overall, I think this is a step in the right direction. If they price it well below the German competition it could work out well for them
Be interested to see how the test drives go when the auto mags get a hold of one.
