Spy Shots: 2009 Cadillac CTS-V not to get 600hp

I do because it will offer better value than the Lexus IS and it will help the North-American Auto industry instead of our economic adversaries. The CTS has RWD with LSD which is what I am looking for if I don't get the AWD version. Lexus IS also offers RWD with LSD but only in the more expensive 350 Sport version of the IS. I don't like the way the fake wood trim wraps around the top sides of the center console in the IS.

I think you are in a world all by yourself! Toyota or Lexus makes nothing I will spend my money on! The CTS and CTS-V are hot compared to the oh so Blah IS!

You may spend nothing but billions of others around the world disagree with ya.

Wow...I can't think of anything better than being like a billion other people in the world! Hey...let's all jump off a cliff together!

go ahead and jump off the cliff..I'll cheer for ya.

Lexus does not sell billions of cars get your information straight. Millions would disagree with you and buy a German luxury car. Much of hollywood own Cadillac Escalades instead of LX460's. Why? best excuse would be because they are snob and want the flash? Please. For example on the show newly wed's Nick and Jessica, I didn't see one Lexus. However on the same note Jessica's sister Ashley was driving an SC430. I believe if she had more money she would have bought something else. The SC430 is an ugly car but I did like the interior. They need a major change in styling.

Cadillac is the true American Luxury Brand, not Lexus(since they were introduced in USA) I believe eco-luxury is what Cadillac and Lexus are about. Their prices are cheaper than it's rivals and people who have owned Cadillacs before may have switched over to Lexus.

sorry to bomb on Lexus but they are in a different tier in a world wide scale. In the US they may sell more but doesn't mean they are better. Just easier to afford and good bang for buck. It doesn't mean luxury is any better or quality is any better. Reliability may be but it depends on the driver and depends on the batch. You can't possibly say no Lexus has ever been bad. There are many and I hear that from the shop owners and friends who have dealerships. No brand is perfect.

You've certainly compiled many useful infomation from what Nick,Ashley and Jessica drive but who give a damn if Jesus, Mary and Joseph drove.

I'm just replying it w/a sarcastic remark because he wrote,"You are in the world all by yourself if you buy a Toyota/Lexus", which is a stupid remark so I cameback with another Stupid remark..this is all stupid.

Outside of north america Lexus is nothing.

The Cadillac CTS-V does Not compete with the Lexus IS350. It compete with MB E63 AMG, BMW M5 and the Audi RS6.

<<The Cadillac CTS-V does Not compete with the Lexus IS350. It compete with MB E63 AMG, BMW M5 and the Audi RS6.>>

Uhh, no. That would be the STS-V

Well actualy nobody knows where GM is going with this. Others are saying the wanna move it upmarket to compete with 5, E, A6 and GS

It was obvious it wasnt going to get the 600hp, but it doesnt matter, because nobody cares about it.

and FYI, CTS-V competes with a kia rio and hyundai accent. as far as interior and performance goes.
