Looks like it's "get it on" time for this unit.   Click here for larger picture   Photo credit: Chris Doane for Brenda Priddy & Company    Though we'd hardly consider the Cadillac CTS V-Series ordinary, it’s clear this version is well beyond that performance CTS.   We last encountered the CTS Super V in testing at the Nürburgring (“Spied: Super V!, May 31, 2004), but this one—spotted recently by an alert spy shooter—appears much closer to production-ready. We’re told it’s the 2007 CTS Super V, and that it is powered by a 7.0-liter 505-hp LS7 V8 lifted directly from the Corvette Z06.   The Super V also features custom bodywork, huge rear tires, larger exhaust pipes and an engine sound unlike any other CTS.   With the new CTS slated for arrival as a 2008 model, speculation is that Cadillac will offer this exclusive model as a last hurrah for the exiting first-generation CTS.   If that’s not powerful enough, wait for the next-generation CTS Super V, which is rumored to be equipped with the LS9 engine—a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with 600 hp. But you’ll be waiting at least until the 2010 or 2011 model year for that one.

It's an interesting article, but I have to wonder about the business decision to feature this car for just one model year, no matter how good it is. It doesn't sound like it would survive the "profitable business case" sniff test. The last time Caddy did something like that would be the '93 Allante, with the roof that finally worked and the 1st generation Northstar V8.   It could still be a test mule for the next generation CTS-V, but the article did say that the bodywork was a lot better than previous mules. Well, we'll find out soon enough.
#32 of 68 DON'T BUY THIS CAR! by jlilja Mar 31, 2006 (1:38 pm)
I have an 05 CTS-V which had 19,450 miles on it. I am a surgeon, and I drive an enormous number of miles each week to operate at multiple Northern California hospitals.   Recently, while rolling to a stop, the control arm FELL OFF the car, causing my front end to dig into the ground and grind to a halt. Needless to say, had I been going freeway speeds, I wouldn't be writing this right now, rather one of you would be writing my epitaph.   Cadillac/GM treated this like a normal warranty repair. Apparently, a bolt that holds the control arm to the frame was not properly put together! They simply put it back together, and told me everything was all right-- and wanted me to drive it away. They claim this was a freak accident, and the car is now completely safe (despite no way of knowing whether the steering column, engine mounts, air bags, etc., are not properly assembled).   You can imagine that I was not interested in getting into a 400 HP car and driving when I can't be sure the thing won't fall apart on the road. I'm selling, at a huge loss. GM would do NOTHING for me. Wouldn't buy back the car, wouldn't give me something else to drive. In fact, the local dealer was more interested in his payment for an oil change rather than the fact that this car almost killed me.   To hell with Cadillac and GM.   DON'T BUY THIS CAR!   JL Replies to this message: rockylee (Apr 30, 2006 6:48 pm) francisbaken (May 18, 2006 2:52 pm)

Replying to: jlilja (Mar 31, 2006 1:38 pm) Well did you contact GM or Cadillac Customer service on the incident ? I agree I never heard of this. I would reccommend calling them and complaining and tell them you are going to sell the car because you feel it might be unsafe. GM isn't going to want to lose you as a customer, over a dealership just telling you everything is just fine.   Sorry to hear about your bad experience pal.   Rocky

Replying to: jlilja (Mar 31, 2006 1:38 pm) Go to NHTSA and file a complaint.   http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/
#35 of 68 WHEN will the new CTS be out?? by tseaburn May 29, 2006 (3:22 pm)
I have heard rumors that the new redesigned CTS will be available in late 2006. Then a dealer told me no, it will not be out until May 2007 as a 2008. Does anyone know when it will be out? Thanks, Tina Replies to this message: pearl (May 30, 2006 6:56 pm)

The 2007 CTS is already in inventory on dealer lots in Nashville. I did not know they were already in production. I have not seen them so I don't know if there are any changes. That means we had a short production year for the 2006.

Replying to: tseaburn (May 29, 2006 3:22 pm) I don't know when the redesigned (08?) CTS will be out, but for GM and Caddy's sake, it should be ASAP! I think that an 08 cannot be sold earlier than sometime in 07, so let's hope that Caddy puts the "new" CTS on sale as soon as possible after the new year. Also, let's hope that this car has some mechanical upgrades to go with the improved styling. Six speed auto, improvements to the V6's, upgraded interior materials would be very well received. Saving a few bucks here, when the foreign competition has all of this, is pointless in my opinion. Undercutting on price without value is not a path to success.
