Here's a photo of the 300hp version.

I don't see much of a difference. I do like the look, though.

Need to get rid of the "squared off" styling. It looks like a toy designer's idea of a sports sedan. I don't think the Germans need to lose much sleep.

Interesting statistic in this month's C&D. "First gen CTS exceeded sales expectations moving 60,000 units in its best year, although BMW sold twice as many 3 series in 2006".

Fits my observations. Here in the MD suburbs, CTS's are around but not many. I don't think I have ever seen a CTS-V. BMW 3 and 5 series are everywhere along with a whole slew of M-B C class and CLK's.

Cadillac here is either an old person's buy (i.e. much older than me and I have seen better days) or an ethnic buy. There are many more Escalades than any other kind of Caddie running around this area.

I think I'm going to buy one for the family vehicle if I like the look when I see it in person this month.

I'm only 48 this year so maybe thats cadillacs plan?
