Well then.... not sure if I like it over my beloved E63 S AMG but... it looks good and I'd probably drive one. Maybe.... idk. Can't bring myself to the GM side that easy.. http://m.caranddriver.com/features/2016-cadillac-cts-v-in-depth-with-the-four-door-corvette-feature

I'm trying to stay true to Ford, but that new CTS V might be enough to pull me to the dark side. It's either keep the SHO and pickup a 13/14 Shelby or trade in the SHO and roll a CTS V for both work and play. Waiting to see what the pricing of the Caddy is going to be.
The V is a great car (albeit not as comfortable as the SHO IMHO)...BUT if you can get a real Shelby... especially with Caroll just dying... sweet!

Yeah..... not sure if any US made car is worth 85k. Only exception being the Ford GT.

Maybe a used E63 would be my choice over the CTS. AWD will always win in my book.

That and a twin turbo handcrafted 5.5L is far more attractive than a supercharged GM motor.

I like the c63 as well but it's a different animal compared to the E63 S. 0-60 in 3.7 without brake boosting.

Damn, 85k?  Yeah that's a little strong.  For that price I'd much rather have an E63 over the V.  Can't believe they went up 20k on the price since the last version.

Tesla does the 1/4 in high 11's right?

Wonder what type of mods are available because it looks like top end gets shafted a bit with that great 0-60.

wash:
They had a couple of them at our car show. Looked really well made, just a might plain of course with no engine & them not showing the batteries could account for it. but it's an amazing car that's for sure. nothing i'd buy as i like some noise from my car, but is for sure the future.

Cool story, also cool they gave him a taurus but i would of thought they would give him an awd version because of the snow... Unless i missed the awd badge. http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/story/28045659/man-who-walks-21-miles-to-work-surprised-with-new-car
