I think the main reason it ended up the way it did is because GM didnt want a cadillac to be faster than the C5. I bet it gets a better motor option when the C6 comes out. Probably an option for the manual tranny as well

I think its got a lot of nice options, and it does look good, but not for $76,000. I agree about GM not wanting it to be faster than the C5, thats why we don't have the RC SS Silverado yet.

CTS-V LS6,400hp,13.1@107 1/4 mile.They should have put an LS6 in the XLRBut it would probley be faster then the C5.It's still a nice car.

I like the new Caddies. They are supposed to get a supercharger in the future. Wouldn't buy one over a Vette though.
