Still think they look like modified Aztecs :-D
Especially the station wagon looking one.

The Aztec was rated one of the top 10 ugliest cars ever made.....no argument here....but I did think the optional hatch tent feature was cool.

That's pretty sweet XFire. You'll have to report back and let us know how it goes. Personally, I really like the look of the V's...although I've always liked them since the CTS-V was first introduced, just something about that jagged body design.

The Aztec was definitely one of the ugliest GM products in recent memory. I'm not sure about similarities...the Juke is probably closer to an Aztec :cheers:

Tyler,

I agree. The CTS-V wagon that I drove was not anythiong like the Aztec. Actually a pretty nice damn car. Really couldn't tell it was a wagon. And the interior, well let's hope th Caddy guys are doing the C7 interior.

Here's some pics of my morning session. I am supposed to get a link to a vid of my driving session in the CTS-V coupe. I'll post that when I get it.
Overall, pretty awesome vehicles. Braking and handling were superb especially for 4300lb cars. And that's not a qualifier. Getting back into my Z, you could notice the diff the added mass makes. Now the new ATS you see in these pics, red cars, weigh in at about 3300lbs with a 321hp DI V6. Put the LSA motor in that and LOOK OUT!

Did you get to drive the ATS? I saw it at the autoshow this year. I have been waiting for it to hit the dealers. Looks like an awesome time!

Shaun,

Drove it in about a 100yd drag race and then full brakes, then turn in w brakes applied, short autocross and lane change exercise. Very composed car. Highly maneuverable. Great interior. They have 4 piston Brembos up front. Not sure its quite yet a 3 series BUT...

BTW, what about my chair?

That looks like a pretty cool event. I'd love to add one of the Coupe's to my inventory as the daily driver ;). Earlier this year I got to play with a guy in a Hennessey 650 coupe while en-route to a car show with the Z06. That Caddy definitely moved from being such a heavy machine. We both left a first gen Viper who was tailing us in the dust.

That's pretty cool man! I wish my laps in the Ferrari 458 would have had the speedo cluster. Here is a video of me racing the 458 this past August in Vegas.
