Looks like a slightly larger CTS-V with an uglier body, cheaper (only slightly) interior, and more reasonable price.

Anytime we can get a sweet RWD V8 with a manual trans, I’m all for it, but I’d probably spring for the used CTSV first.

X2…GM aint fucking around…I wish I could afford a CTS-V…hell a 09 Camaro would be a nice addition as well. But I am a regular dude and can’t afford that many toys, so a reg CTS and my 99 WS.6 will be just fine.

Gas Guzzler tax does not apply to Trucks/SUV’s…

There is a $2,100 gas guzzler tax listed on the window sticker of my GTO…

Stopped to look at the G8 today. They have it marked up $3000 over sticker. Oh, and no test rides, unless “you wanna sit down and talk numbers”.
