Nice looking car. The question will be -- How many GT500's can you buy for the price of one of those babies. I suspect that ADM will raise its head at Caddy dealers.

Can't be more expensive than M3.

I suspect that they'll price it above M3 and below M5 with the argument that it is an M5 competitor at about an M3 price. Cadilliac probably can't inflate option prices like BMW though -- so you'll be able to buy a more expensive M3 -- I'd venture.

Glad to see GM putting something nice together. I hope that Ford will do the same.

Love everything about it except the front end, which looks better on the standard CTS, IMHO. I know the wire mesh is the V-Series trademark, but that lower air dam just screams 'aftermarket body kit' to me.

Otherwise, what we seem to have here is a bonafide, no-more-compromises M-Series competitor.

No way, I predict higher. I'd bet $65,000.

Agree 100% The side corners uder the headlights and the general style of the lower air dam were better executed on the previous model. But the car is very nice nonetheless.

I agree on 65K -- it should be 50K -- but it won't -- plus it will have an ADM on it too.

It desperately needs quad exhaust. If the cost will be between M3 and M5, then the base msrp will have jumped nearly 30k in one model year. I doubt it. I think It will base in the high 50's low 60's. Is that a suede steering wheel?

It will take ford at least another 5 years to get on everyone else's page.
