SENIOR EDITOR FOR NEWS BOB GRITZINGER: If Mercedes’ 2010 E63 AMG represents the return of the Hammer, this Cadillac is the sledge to beat. At this price, it surely undercuts cars like the E63 and other Euro competitors, without giving an inch in performance. With 556 hp on tap and torque to burn, the CTS-V remains a relative luxury performance bargain. Cars like the E may offer more technological features, but when it comes to powerful sounds and putting the horses to the pavement, the V delivers with the best of them. Handling is equally impressive, regardless of road surface, and becomes very taut when you punch up the performance setting. Conversely, it’s really noticeable that the suspension softens nicely in “touring” mode.
The V looks sharp and sounds impressive, even at idle, but it doesn’t really jump out as something as special as it is--which in my book is a great thing. No need to alert the authorities, or the competition, of your true capabilities.
