So disappointing…It was the direct injection model. Horrid performer. Bad handling, bad ride quality, bad pickup; the most anemic 300+ hp engine I’ve ever whipped. Shame.

But in jet black, it was such a sharp sedan.

Re: The standard CTS

Did you test the 306-hp direct injected engine or the 268 hp version?

Do you know if Magnaride is available on the standard CTS? If so, it would probably dowonders for the suspension.

And that is GM’s problem. They fixed all thse things on the 556 hp CTS-V, but the standard version, which will account for 97% of production, doesn’t get the fixes it needs. I really want to like the CTS, but I’ve NO confidence in GM’s build quality or lengevity. Notto mention that GM is about to go bankrupt.

You’re right, Zarba. Smoke’em while ya got ‘em. Amen.

CTS-V is TOO much, too late, perhaps.

I didn’t like the standard CTS – as much as it is the most handsome of the semi-precious set (5er, E-Class, etc.) GM needs (when and if it sees through its economic cloud) to redo the standard CTS’ suspension and engine.

The CTS-V nailed both with the backside of an axe.

Great review, Gunnar. My envy for you is now complete.

The Last Hurrah of the Horsepower Wars.

Unfortunately for Cadillac, and GM, the CTS is all Caddy has in its arsenal now. A very good car, by any measure, it’s held captive in the market by the deterioration of the Cadillac name and the uncertainty of GM’s future.

The CTS-V will go down as an iconic American car, and a legendary Cadillac. It’s that good.

But it’s too little, too late. GM’s headed for Chapter 11, and with it will go the future products that Cadillac needs. Replacements for the aged STS, DTS, SRX, and the Euro BTS. All are on hold as GM desperately tries to hang on.

At Barrett-Jackson 2040, the CTS-V will join the AMG Mercedes, BMW M-Series, Audi RS models, the ZR-1 Corvette, Shelby GT500KR, Dodge Challenger SRT-8, and Camaro SS models as the cars we all remember from this age of monster motors.

Smoke ‘em while you got ‘em.
