Anyone have a CTS-V (sedan)? I am thinking about possibly getting one for my next company car and wanted to get some opinions first from someone who has or been in one.

If you lived in the UK you could go very wrong with one of them. Fuel bills here are "punishing" to say the least. :?

I dont own one, but thats an awesome car. Have you seen the episode of Top Gear with it? Might make your decision easier.

I have not, but will You Tube it now! As soon as my lease runs out over the next few months I will definitely be looking into this.

The only negative I see on this car is the exhaust... for the HUGE Balls this car has, the exhaust should sound like an AMGs!

This car blows everything away at its numbers/pricing point, only drawback is the Cadillac nameplate, too much plastic interior for my taste.

Well, if you have a corporate gas card to go with it.... :D

This thing would seriously get me into trouble.

You have to see the british top gear review. Youtube doesnt seem to have it. It was almost an entire episode on where the three guys came to the US to take the cars to the slat flats. You can download the bit torrent if you know how to do that--season 12 episode 2. Small clip here:

I would say it all comes down to whether you prefer a Detroit made vehicle or something from across the pond. The CTS-V is the top of the line from US manufacturers at its price, but at the same time that kind of coin will get you one hell of a German sled.
