Chicago Tribune
- A sedan larger than DeVille with all the amenities, a V-8 engine, rear- and all-wheel-drive, priced from $60,000 to $70,000. It would build 4,000 to 5,000 units worldwide.

- A rear-all-wheel-drive sedan with a V-12 engine that would sell for about $120,000. Production would be about 2,000 worldwide.

Eh, I havent been impressed with Cadillacs styling lately, not to mension their lack luster performance.

Ex: the CTS only made it to D-Stock... where the Integra R and the BMW 330 Csi rule. Not very impressive for a car thats suppose to be putting down 255HP and 252 lb-ft of torque, just goes to show how 3500 LBS can hurt you in the corners.... It will be interesting where the CTS-V ends up, and if those extra ponys help it at all.

Yes, but when Cadillac markets their cars to be the best in class, have the best performance, etc... and thet can't stack up, then that's when it matters.

cadillac will never make the best sports cars GUESS WHY because they are gm's luxury cars. it just a plus to be driving in comfort and being able to mash the gas and get a minor case of whip lash.

stock classes there is no MR2 that would out run a Lamborghini, once you start to modify then its any bodys game.

Top MR2:MR-2 Turbo, B-Stock (where the S2000 and Porsche Boxter Rule)
Modern Lamborghini.... at a minimum SS(the fastes stock class), however they may not be leagl for stock classes so they probably run ASP (the fastes street prepaired class).


I see autocross as a better way to compair performanc between 2 cars because yousee the strengths and weaknesses of each car (specifically Stock classes). where if you just look at HP and 1/4 mile times you get a scued view of the cars. the CTS, has decent HP, however its weight its a huge liability for performance.

I AM a fan of cadillac however. Their new cars are sweet and CTSV is the sh!t. That thing can haul. As I recall, it owns the M5.
