Top Gear 8/28

[truckofwinandawesome]

watching the new Top Gear USA Tonight, and the CTS Wagon Just BEAT A FERRARI CALIFORNIA! let me know what you guys think!

[becker87]

The Caddy got a huge jump on the Ferrari, and i think that why it one, but since it's less then a third of the cost, I'll take all thee, a couple, sedan and wagon!!!.

 

I sat in a CTS-V couple at the woodward dream cruise and all i have to say is wow, that car is high on my want list!

and with the $500 challenge, I'm starting to wonder WHY Ford is killing something so Bulletproof!

I'm thinking I have the show on DVR but I don't need to watch it now since I know what happens.

[redjewel2ss]

yeah those CTS-V's are awesome!

 

i almost convinced my wife to get a sedan when we bought her SRX. i was even willing to sell my Camaro to have the V. but she "wanted more trunk space"

 

every time we see one on the road, i point it out how cool it looks, and remind her "she coulda had one!"

The V-series are nothing short of awesome. I thought the show last night was funny.

hmm might need to watch this one

Why pay the $$$ when you can get (next yr) a camaro ZL1 with the same engine, more HP, better handling (I dont think the caddy has Magnetic ride), and a much lower cost

I thought it did have the magnetic suspension? At least I thought I heard him say something about it, but I could be wrong.

Your probably right but I thought only the vette had it??? No biggie I think the camaro is a better deal when it is available. I see used CTS-V's with 18K miles going for 55K here

I think the last model CTS-V had it because they said about it in the British Version of Top Gear, but Im not sure if they carried it over or not.

If they used the launch control and auto shifting on the hairdressers car it would beat the cts v in a drag

along with the Showing off of the CTS Lineup, there was a $500 Car Challenge which consisted of a Ford Festiva (Rutlege had this one, and blew the clutch), a Ford Crown Vic Taxi (Adam "Ford Killer" Ferrara had This one, and it DIDN'T DIE!) and a Useless Pile of 80's German Crap[Mercedes] (This one Tanner had, and it Croaked {YES!} JUST before the Finish Line!).
