Apparently Cadillac has given the green light to do a V-series coupe and will release it along side the base coupe rather than waiting a year. Can’t wait to see what it looks like without the camo. Would you guys choose this over some of the other mentioned cars for ~$40k less? If I had $75k, I can’t think of anything thing else I’d like to do with it. ![http://images.leftlanenews.com/content/may2008/cadillac-cts-v-coupe-0.jpg](http://images.leftlanenews.com/content/may2008/cadillac-cts-v-coupe-0.jpg) [http://www.leftlanenews.com/cadillac-cts-v-coupe.html](http://www.leftlanenews.com/cadillac-cts-v-coupe.html) ---

M3 coupe starts at $56,000 M6 starts at $100,300 RS5 no US price yet but the RS4 starts at $66,900 CLK 63 AMG US pricing not yet available CLS 63 AMG is $95,425 What cars mentioned did you think were 40 grand more? Also I don’t believe even the sedan version of the CTS-V price has been released (rumors of 65k - 75k continue for the sub 4 second beast) let alone this gem Here is a picture from today ![http://jalopnik.com/assets/images/jalopnik/2008/08/CTS-V_police.jpg](http://jalopnik.com/assets/images/jalopnik/2008/08/CTS-V_police.jpg) There was also a ZR1 cop car I counted at least 10 different ZR1s today ---

Just throwing some #s out there. Good luck touching any one of the other cars mentioned besides the M3 for less than $100k. I think you are going to see the V coupe come in Between $68k - $78K ---

I think you are going to see the V coupe come in Between $68k - $78K Like most high end cars they will sell for far above there sticker for the first 6 months. Then you will be able to buy them for about sticker. Then in 3 years you can buy them for half their sticker. ---
