OT - Cadillac CTS-V
Need opinions. I want a 4 door performance sedan and I love horsepower (as we all do on this forum). I would love an M5 or AMG E55 however, I don't have $80k to dump. However, Cadillac has a nice rig that has a performance build for $50k - the CTS-V. It has the 6.0L vette engine and is a 12.5 second car. I drove it and it is a nice combination of luxury and performance.
In my house, my wife is included on every decision and even though I can do what I want, I like her support. I love this car and she can't get over the stigma of it being a cadillac which has the stereotype of an old persons car. She is down on the ehole thing and I can't convice her otherwise....however, she did agree to drive 1 tomorrow morning which I am hoping will change her mind.
What do you guys think?

Re: OT - Cadillac CTS-V
I have driven that car and while its fast, it looks cool and foolish at the same time . The interior materials are cheap and overall its still a GM product. Buy an Audi S-4..340 horse all wheel drive quattro. Loaded with Nav ,list price is around 55 ish and it is far superior to just about any 4 door sport sedan out there.The interior materials are the best in the business ,the overall fit and finish is first class and it drives incredible.Best of all, the wife wont be embarrased to be seen in it.

I was at the LA Auto Show on Wednesday and there was a lot of interest in the Cadillac - it certainly is sharp.... However, I have a 2005 Audi S4 and it is extremely hard to image that the Caddy could even come close to the quality and ride of it.

Re: OT - Cadillac CTS-V
I think the caddy is the best bang for the buck, but they don't hold their value. I had a friend of mine loose his shirt in 800 miles he lost 13,000 with a cts-v w/ 20" Giovanni wheels and the car was in better shape than when he [icked it up (had to buff whole car to get rid of orange peel)
