Wow!! I really wish this would be ready when my '12 CTS-V corporate lease is up in a few months, but it doesn't appear so. Either way, there is a high likelihood one of these will end up in my garage in the next year or two. This thing is going to be a monster.

More power, less weight. Still heavy although I guess less heavy then its main competition. Should be a winner but its too big/expensive for me. I'll be taking a close look at used prices on the current Gen wagon if the need for a bigger car arises. Too badass to ignore

 

Was reading about it today. No manual option Nice looking, though.

 

Looks great. Between this and a charger hellcat...tough choice. I'm sure the V will be a better overall performer, but I don't really care. It wouldn't be my main sports car just the DD. Can't go wrong with either car for the money.

 

The CTS is a really nice car, both inside and out. I have never cared too much for uber sedans, but it's hard to ignore this one.

 

These things get more excessive after each iteration. At 80k, it will be something.

 

Some really great American cars coming out these past 3-4 years.

 

Agreed.

 

The new V will be a monster. The external design, for me, is not as compelling as the V2, of which I have owned two. Will not be giving up my 6MT V wagon for this.

However, I am willing to consider one once the lease on my RLX Sport Hybrid (itself a very, and surprisingly, quick car), is over.

 

Much classier car than the Hellcat. Almost not fair to compare them as their original intent is different. Challenger is a young at heart Americana. CTS-V is all business, older mentality.

Personally, I'd take the CTS-V, as the Challenger SRT8 I drove did little for me; just not my thing. Cadillac is bring their A game to design table.
