Why did you leave the vette choices off of the list?
Do you need 4 seats?

Because I've been in a 370z for 2+ years. Granted the back seats of a Coupe MAY never be used, but having a trunk again will be awesome.

I'm tired of 2 seaters & a hatch ....

I'd go with a CTS-V sedan if you're going to be driving VIPs around for your business. Wouldn't want to squeeze them into the backseat of a ZL1 or V-series Coupe.

Won't really be driving any VIP's around. Wish I was, but the most VIP person riding with me is the wife

Well even then, a Cadillac just looks classier than a Camaro. Puts out a better image IMO.

Well I had a CTS before and loved it. Sold it after I got my Camaro. The new V's are great. Even the wagon! Lol I would get the V-coupe. Mainly cause I have a Camaro that I can't see myself ever parting with. As for resale values. If you are buying a car based on what you can get rid of it for later on then you are buying the wrong car, but that's just my opinion.

I've considered the CTS-V sedan quite a bit. I could drop the Lexus and the Camaro. My problem is it would suck when it snows here. It's generally easy to get around when it snow but on the few days it's a problem...

Now if only the CTS V came w/ AWD.

I voted sedan for you. All the power and luxury.

Thanks Guys!!!

Well .... 12 hours after asking this question, I drove home a new 2011 CTS-V Coupe. OTD Pricing was roughly the same as the MSRP. I got it for invoice, plus got free tint all the way around. I can't complain

Here she is. Out with the old, in with the new. Sorry for iPhone pics!

FenwickHockey65 · 06-16-2011, 10:18 PM

Congrats and thank you for your purchase! Hope it serves you well!

It made me grin to see the wife giggle ... Its a win/win any which way I look at it

Appreciate it Fenwick!

I do plan to stay around here though ... These boards (especially seeing as I share the same drivetrain as the ZL1) are MUCH livelier than the Cadillac boards!

Thank you all that gave me warm welcomes! Made me feel right at home! Long live GM!

Congratulations with your new car and best of luck with her. I personally like the lines and visibility in the sedan a little better than the coupe, but that is just me. Since you will not be using it to take business associates around town, it will be interesting to see what you will do when the first ZL1's start hitting the showrooms. The Caddy has a more upscale interior and nice lines but the ZL1 is pure Hot Rod.

Rusty,

Congrats on the Car. She is a nice looking BEAST. Break her in right and she is a 0-60 in under 4 second car.

What part of the south? I would love to see one of those babies up close.
