    Impressive numbers and mean looks. Not exactly what I would call a green car though...

    The interior looks fantastic. Never thought I'd say that. This is going to be one helluva car.

    4,200-4,300 pounds, as in weight, not the British currency.

    Nice powerplant, though-it's destined to be the poor man's Bentley.

    I heard while the HP/TQ numbers are impressive, and the interior has really been improved since the first CTS-V, it still drives like a bit of a floppy piece of overcooked ham.

    Re: Thoughts on CTS-V?

    A guy on the M5 forum called Mallett (Corvette and Cadillac aftermarket tuner - http://www.mallettcars.com/) and he said that 700hp will not be a problem to get out of this engine.
    I wonder if this car is going to have launch control like the ZR1.
    Also, this car is gonig after the M5 and E63, not the M3 and C63. The CTS is now based on the larger STS, that's why it's a little on the portly side.
