Cadillac is claiming 300 hp out of there 3.6 litre v6. I think this is the first domestic v6 motor making 300hp am I correct?

Black on black caddy with a 6spd and 300hp in the mid $30’s sounds like a danm good deal.

I swear I was behind some guy in a CTS(maybe STS?) convertible last night. Black and looked like shit. I think it was a 4 door too.

I love the CTS and that spec for 30k tho (esp. the CTS-V) but would never get this car in a convertible.

Nice motor I drove one last week. My caddy dealer had like 20 of them on the lot this week. All-wheel drive is nice as well (did not drive one though).  
I still like my V.  
Should be interesting to see what else they put that motor in. Saturn Aura redline is my first guess.

GNs were close GNX’s were over, as GM understated the power for insurance reasons.

600 hp CTS-V is much, much cooler though.
