There are no engine pics, as this car has not been officially dubbed the CTS-V.  Rumor has it, that is might be all wheel drive, and be powered by the Z06 engine. Just like last gen CTS-V. I think the Caddy XLR-V should get the same engine as well, just like AMG does it.

Yes it would, seems like they are going the Audi route, and will be trying to cover the RS6 and M5. But the RS6 will supposed to be 550+ HP (a tt V10), and supposedly the M5 is getting the Twin Turbo treatment as well. Only thing is if it is AWD, then that means that the CTS_V will not be able to race, as most governing bodies don't allow  AWD (that is why Audi  Quattro is banned)

Imo it will compete. Gm can put a car together if they want to. I am a HUGE euro fan , and I love this car. Just my opinion.

This car is just savage looking.

That said the new m5 is incredable. I drove one awhile back. My bastard of a friend owns one.

Like  Body said, I think it will be competitive,  GM is putting it's best engineers to bring Caddy up to speed...it will be competitive, but the M5 is a moving target, just like the RS4 is moving target for the new M3.

I think the new 135i coupe ( with the Tii trim) is basically the spiritually successor to the E46 M3, even the E36 M3. It will have loads of power (the same engine as the 335i) and will be loads of fun. That dude on getbig who bought that Evo, just wasted his money.  Because if he buys the new 1 series, he gets 4 yrs of free service from BMW ( Am I correct, njflex?)...versus Mitsu's unreliability issues.   

Imo it will compete. Gm can put a car together if they want to. I am a HUGE euro fan , and I love this car. Just my opinion.

Imagine it in black, the reflection of the  angles would make this car even more bad ass.

That or some deep dish BBS', with no Chrome lip, just all black. This is actually a car I am looking forward to in final form.

yes parker 4/50,000 service,the car market is very competitive,foreign market is grabbing headlines,but american with foreign parts and styling gaining some ground.bmw and mercedes still rule the roost,lexus and infiniti are coming up and doing good job.bmw keeps me a job due to maintence and electrical issues  8).....
