[Sodbuster]

I always kind of liked the STS...really a shame GM let it wither and die.

They also discontinued the the DTS... like the one I have..

I'll be damned...I didn't even know they made a STS-V.

Nice looking Caddy!

Jim, what do you think Black Bear could do for it?

Probably bump it from the 469 HP it has now... up close to 500...

I entered the Onstar car giveaway. I figured if I won it a CTS-V would be a nice ride, got performance and the family can ride as well.

I thought about the ZR1 vette but wouldn't be practical plus insurance and tax would kill. But I could always enjoy it for a few and trade it on a CTS-V. Hmmmm might have to rethink this one.

A ZR-1 would be cheaper on insurance than my truck or my Blazer was


Like everyone has said... When do you get yours, Jim?

This year, 2011, is the last year for the DTS..

Now what the fWONk are them intending to do, focus only in the CTS?

The DTS and STS are going away to be replaced by something currently being called the XTS.. It will be about the same size as the last model year Seville, from a few years back.. The CTS will be moving up in size a little. A new car - currently being called the ATS - will come in as their "entry level" car and will be approximately the size of the current CTS..

Or at least that's what I've been hearing.. To me, it sounds like they're all going to be too similar in size. But, we'll see..

Maybe due to the CAFE they would also release something like the Swedish-made BLS.

Interesting. Maybe we'll be ready to replace her Impala with that CTS in a few more years.

 

[cRiPpLe_rOoStEr]

Maybe the newer CTS will have the size of the upcoming Chevy Caprice.

Sure is a slick ride. isnt the cts-v the only caddy with an avaliable 6 speed?

That is correct...the 6 speed is standard... the auto is optional and extra cost...
