My cup of tea would be an S4 Avant for around $52,000. But no enthusiast would be shortchanged by this car's overall bearing. It's the only American high-performance sedan that's world class in size, specification (man. trans.), and speed.
Mark Bilek
CTS-V is a car that ANY car company would be proud to sell--the look is menacing and the performance awesome. Price is very favorable when compared to other V-8 luxury sport sedans--if you include all of CTS-Vs standard extras that are costly options on competitors.
Rick Cotta
Yes it has 400 hp and yes, it comes loaded, but $50K just seems too much for the CTS-V--especially when the base model stickers for $32K.
Tom Appel
If a genie granted be five cars, this would be one of them--at least until I lost enough weight to fit in an Elise.
