Cadillac CTS-V 2012Change

Styling is beautiful, handles like a dream, power to spare...why would anyone ever buy a european luxury/sport car ever again?

Performance / Fun factor
-The car is fun to drive
-The performance is the higher end of what you get at this price point
-With that said the 400 hp V8 Camaro feels more fun to drive than this even with its 550+hp.
-That said its an acceleration monster. Get ready to feel the G force while its engine sings for you.

The Cadillac factor makes this more refined than a Camaro, however if that does not matter, stop looking at this and get the newer Camaro that has this engine.

The most interesting fact is that this has a similar horsepower rating to a BMW M5.
While its not German engineering, you have the opportunity to get similar performance results.

Cons
-(Some) parts of the Interior trim build quality are terrible! In my experience I have had the plastic handle components for the lever to tilt the seats forward come off more than once.
-Four seats? really? as with all cars in this category its just a suggestion and for occasional use. Expect this to seat two in its general use.

Overview
Buy a Camaro to have fun.
Buy a CTS-V for a better handling experience and a more refined driving feel.

I recently had the chance to drive this car one afternoon and wow i was impressed.

I love the exterior styling and the interior is absolute luxury.

The CTS-V's power is unbelievable and gave me the feeling of being a fighter pilot.

If i had the dough i would skip the luxury imports and grab one of these domestic beast!
