2016 Cadillac CTS-V - Official

I thought it would be more aggressive but I still like it.



from the press release:
Launching in late summer with 640 horsepower (477 kW), 630 lb-ft of torque (855 Nm) and a top speed of 200 mph, the new CTS-V reaches higher than its predecessors, leading Cadillac’s product-driven expansion and elevation. It is the third generation of the acclaimed luxury sports sedan that launched the elite V-Series a decade ago – and redefined Cadillac for a new generation of enthusiasts.

I think the ATS-V looks more aggressive, but it doesn't have 640hp.

I like how understated it is. The last CTS-V was gaudy. I think the grille emblem is a bit too small though...should be maybe 20% larger.

Yup


The grille on the old one was a bit much

I think it looks great but I'm 42 so maybe I'm only a few years away from a Cadillac Brougham with curb feelers

Lololol. Hey I think it looks great and I'm 27...and thought the previous version was gaudy so...

Though I was on AutoTradee looking for a wagon with a stick. I'd take one of those in a heartbeat. I miss having a 4-door that I can put the dogs in. Who said it doesn't have to be fun too??

Agreed. I'll throw in the Chevy Colorado too, because I actually liked it at the auto show. But if Ford made a Ranger again, I'd obviously rather have that.

I love it!!!
I think it looks great and it's got great power/tq ratio. That "sedan" will upset a lot of stock muscle cars.

Someone needs to Photoshop the new CTS-V front, onto the last gen CTS-V Wagon.
It would of be the perfect car.

Eh...agreed haha. Though I think I'd like the bigger size of the new one. The last gen was a little snug inside.

The nose is way too busy. The waterfall LED's are very distracting. Plus it's still a stimulus bail-out car in my book, and it annoys me that I've helped to pay for that.

Can you imagine pulling up in a "Caddy" and blowing the doors off 90% of the cars on the road today? I love it. I want one.
