2006 Cadillac CTS-V Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I had a chance to flog the CTS-V at GM's Test Track in Las Vegas. Although this version of the CTS-V is now a 'used' product with the new generation CTS being released for the 2008 model year (and winning car of the year) it would still be a consideration for many. For one, the LS engine from the Corvette and 6 speed transmission make this thing a performer, and it's plenty powerful. However, the car sacrifices something betwen ride quality and handling, so the car feels odd cornering and accelerating with all that power. I'd prefer something a little more stiffly sprung for this type of power. Passengers may find themselves motion sick in short order. The interior has all the neat gadgets and ammenities one would expect from Cadillac. I'd like to hear a little more engine noise, though. I understand that this car is supposed to be a fusion of performance and luxury, but I'm not sure I'm 100% satisfied on how it turned out. However, it looks good, and it's got to be one of the nicest luxury cars you can find with a huge V8 and a race bred 6 speed manual built in, which makes it in a category all it's own from the get go.Feb 11, 2008
