I only want it if I can get that snakeskin /cubist front end effect paint job. For that post post-modern look.

TexanIdiot25 could use some of that bail out money — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 13:11:17 EST

Im just putting it out there, this subi ad on spy shots is really, annoying.

But my god, this cadi has BALLS. BIG, SOLID, TITANIUM BALLS. Gone is the semi-sleeper looks of the last CTS-V, I love it.

However fast that it may go, that Subaru in the ad is pretty fugly. Actually, in the interest of using a more descriptive term, it is "ill-proportioned".

Pretty clever how the, in the STI image above, the fenders look like the haunches of a crouching tiger. [www1.istockphoto.com]

Also, 500-something hp Caddy, apparently designed by the same people who did the F-117?

Yes please.

Rust-MyEnemy is stll out there! — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 12:01:36 EST

When I'm old and rich and retire to Fort Lauderdale, I'm going to organise a blue-rinse touring car championship. A bunch of CTS-Vs' will do just fine.

I'm joking! Again! If they can give it some kind of reasonable interior fit and finish it might even have a chance as an export....

@benztown: Funny part is when I visited my Caddy dealer, I found that the cheapest of the CTS variants was the most appealing. All that navigation stuff and fancy radio ju-ju stuff that did nothing to improve the sound just muddied the water of a great driving experience of the spirited rear drive model.

Never thought I was the entry level kinda guy but this was a true first.

The front fenders on the STi are just so awesomely boy racer, amazing how much better this looks than the WRX.

Oh wait, what's this thread about?

@coaster.n3rd: Udders are understear. So are cow pies.

The polygons and creases are so 80s CGI. Love it. Looking forward to the huge/quad pipes in the production version; considering most people will be seeing that view, it's good to flash some chrome at losers in their M5s [end flamebait].

For some reason, I think the regular CTS looks much better.

@MagnificentBastard:

What the hell is understear?

Check out that side profile. That is pretty sweet. I'm hoping for 525hp.

Put it out on the ring so we can see the huge amounts of body roll and understear....

@rlj676: That STI isn't stealing the thunder away from this CTS-V. What's the interweb lingo I'm looking for here? Oh, yes. DO WANT!

Although I must say, I'm still captivated by that ad. For Jalopnik's sake, I shall click it a few times.

@Heep: well wait a sec
I was just about to comment that the regular CTS has some big flared wheel wells but they made them even bigger on the V and it looks positively mean
just like the WRX and the STi...

Nyay! Cadillac spy shots sponsored by Subaru!

You know what? As I type this, I'm looking up at that Subaru WRX STI ad between every second word. The plain-jane WRX may have gone a bit wimpy, but that STI is a mean-looking machine.

Oh, sorry. This was about Cadillac, wasn't it?
