Finally a US made 4 door with Cajones.
BTW, it comes with a paddle shifter with Brembo brakes.

I think GM hit a home run with this. The interior styling is right on the money in my eyes. My dad has a 2004 CTS-V and has been eagerly waiting this release for the last two years, as it's been rumored for a long time.

and an automatic will be available... smart move. When it was only available with a 6 speed I took a flyer. Mrs. Bony doesn't know how to shift. When we go out to dinner, she drives home as she is a nondrinker. Don't worry, I drink for her, tough job, but I'm up for it.

I just have to say that the exterior styling actually does nothing for me. It looks like it is right out of the Transformers movie. It just has too many lines going on and is way too busy to actually look at it and admire the design. I find myself following this bodyline here... then down there... then across that... then up this, etc. I would like look at it and quickly say that the design flows. It reminds me of one of those Rubiks cubes with twice as many pieces, it's all mixed up, and I'm sayin' "how do I put all of this together?"

sorry so long, I seem rather opinionated tonight, my wife must be PMSing.

I love it and may replace a Mercedes with one. It is neither perfect, nor is it for everyone, but it's another reason for some more Americans to Buy American. First the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 doing 0-60 in less than 5 seconds and now Cadillac. Who says elephants can't fly. This ain't nothing like Grandpa's Cadillac :cheers

Current models have a tendency to really eat tires.

I love the exterior. The interior is pretty cool too, though it is very busy and the seats are from a spaceship. I'm a big fan of the way the current gen CTS looks, and I think this should be a great alternative to the Ms and AMGs.
