    Starting at $85k- Ill never own one. And that is one car that I would never buy used! It is powerful and beautiful. Would be a fun car during the 3/36 warranty....likely costly and disappointing after that.

    I haven't seen a caddy that I liked the style of since the early 70s, but I like the looks of this one.

    Edit- need to see it in black.

    What a magnificent send off for Dino fueled goodness and archaic shif-it-yourself vehicles. God speed my friends you shall be missed.

    I love this, excerpt from Motor Trend

    Like the previous CTS-V, the CT5-V Blackwing remains rear-wheel drive only. As Caddy's chief engineer global luxury and performance cars, Brandon Vivian, said when asked about why there's no all-wheel-drive option: "If it doesn't make the car faster on a racetrack, we don't put it on the car."

    Great looking car, looks fast just sitting there.

    Whats up with the gigantic grill, why do the auto makers think that looks good on every car?

    Automakers: Plastic grills on the front of a car looks like you gave up!

    The Chinese apparently like them for some reason.

    A car like this needs all the fresh air ir can get to stay cool.

    I agree on a lot of cars it is just overwhelming visually. Some of the newer Lexus to me have too much grille.

    That grille actually looks like it suits the car to me.

    Need to see that in a wagon. I really liked the old CTS-V wagon.

    Nice but I still miss when Cadillacs were nearly 20' long. It's a nice 4dr option to a Vette and maybe far less to insure. It would be a perfect car for the Autobahn! I'd take my chances buying a used one over a BMW any day.
