Drooling over the new Cadillac CTS-V. I'll wait 4-5 years and try to find one with minimal mileage that's a lot cheaper than a new one.

Then, once the kids are out of the house, Daddy gets his Vette.

    I took a two year old Vette out for a test drive the other week.

    Just saw that exact M5, it even had test vehicle decals on the sides, on my way to Home Depot this morning. Not a bad looking car, but seriously $95k...HAHAHAHAHAH...

    I'm all kinds of pleased with GM for the CTS-V and ZR1. Two incredible vehicles at unimaginable price-points!

    Last year, my brother purchased a 2008 Cadillac SRX for 26k from Enterprise car rental. They have really great no-haggle pricing. It had about 17k miles , really sweet ride and the gas was ok. We drove it from NY to Chicago. Again sweet ride for the price. However, it simply cannot compete with a BMW. I remember with GM was trying to match a freakin’ Pontiac Bonniville against a BMW 735, those commercials were hysterical! :o

    I gotta agree with Max, I know people are crazy about the new Caddy styling but it doesn't do it for me at all.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Caddy is nice.. but I don't care for the very boxy rear end on it. seems like most Caddys have very square rears.. not sexy.. like wearing granny panties or something. ewww!

    Until you get stuck with repair bills for you BMW out of warranty, they are wonderful, afterwards they remind you of the X-wife that sticks around just to take your money. :)

    If you don't mind used vehicles, there are some great deals on used Vettes all over the place. My neighbor just picked up his 04 with 36K miles for mid 20's. Not my cup of tea, but a convertible is always nice.
