Exclamation MotorTrend Mag Says Caddy Will Produce CTS-V Coupe with that 550+ HP Engine

Interesting question... how many of you guys would consider this 2-Door CTS-V Coupe with that 550+ HP S/C V-8 and paddle-shifters with Brembo's as competition to the CLK 63, C63, M3, upcoming Audi RS5 Coupe, GT-R, M6, 911, Alfa 8C, Maser Granturismo S, etc..?

It should way a few hundred pounds less than the CTS-V Sedan.

Don't like Caddies AT ALL. I'd take all the cars you listed but the unreliable Alfa and underpowered Maserati before this thing. (that's if I hadn't poured money into my new two-wheeled friend)

I don't know if it would be 200lbs less. Especially with the height they have on the rearend right now. Looks like a lot of steel there. It's going to be interesting to see what the real numbers are on the CTS-V when it comes out.

Would never consider it. CTS-V is still just a CTS in terms of materials and quality - in 3 years it'll look like a 3yr old GM car.
