2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport Twin-Turbo V-6

[DuceTheTruth]

Any yea my homie has i think a '10 or '11 cts-v and its pretty fuckin hoggish ive driven it before... Im just sayin i think now that cadillac has done well for a lil while they forgetting that they almost went out of buisiness just a few years ago... and i think the strategy of building cars thatll compete with other cars in the same class is smart, but pricing them near the same as the competition is gonna backfire on them. The cts-v is like what 4k more than the sport n thats worth the difference but the prices on both should be set lower imo.

I understand where you're comming from mayne. A long time ago 92-93 when I first started readin car magazines (car and driver) I always felt they were biased. American cars RARELY won or did good in comparos vs japanese or European/German cars...hell even Korea was kickin ass at the time when Hyundai first launched here in the U.S. It wasnt till I got a lil older and started actually gettin inside some of these cars I read about did I truly understand.
More times than not I caught myself sayin shit like.....damn, this Civic really does shit all over this Cavalier.....Fuck, this Lexus really does feel better than the Caddy...smh. Readin a lot of these articles kept me pissed off as crazy as that sounds. I've always been partial to GM so that explains it.

But anyway back to what I'm tryin to get at...

I'll say at least like 2 years before GM got into that bullshit, they actually started to turn shit around for the better..

The G6/Chevy Malibu

Those cars came from the "new" GM...not the penny pinchers of old...both were praised highly...especially the Malibu

Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky

both of those had great potential now they are dead in American form smh..

Pontiac G8

It's an Australian car(Holden Commodore) that goes to war with the Ford Mondeo, but the fact that they brought it here showed that GM was ready..


So lets fast foward....

If you've driven or rode in a 2010 CTS-V

you'll know that even just by readin this article that this new '14 model is really wit the shit...regardless of the price.....this is the 3rd iteration of the CTS. Originally in 2004 it was a BMW 3 series fighter


V model

..2nd generation was a 3/5 series fighter....now this one is strictly a 5 series fighter...the ATS goes to war with the 3 series


'14 CTS

The new GM is a whole new car company


Sorry Tazz I'm on one my nigga


Let us discuss this damn 3.6 liter V-6 that's goin into a lot more of these GM cars as of late...

this is where a lot of the testing is being done.....as do/did Honda Acura BMW MERCEDES AUDI...

not too sure about that car in particular but there is a gran prix 3.6 powered car that really goes to war with the above mentioned

Yea i like cadillac and i know they are making some awesome fuckin cars, im kinda talking in terms of how well theyll do with sales... i just dont know if old retired people with lots of money are gonna understand why the cadillac is up there with the bmw price... Even younger people with money, even if they understand, alot of them still think that if u pull up to the club in a beamer ur gonna get more pussy then if u in a caddy.

People dont think of super fast hi performance 70,000$ cars when they think cadillac, think they need to slow it down a little bit and wait for cadillac to get that reputation as a car thats worth that kind of money before they start asking that price.

 

[L.D.S.]

The CTS-v is their flagship now. Going back to my original post, they've been on top for 9 years, and likely aren't coming down any time soon.

Old, young, whatever. The cars are selling well, and well enough to warrant making this car as an underclassman.
