Here are some quotes from Edmunds.com that helped convince me that I needed one of these STS-V's.
"In a luxury sport sedan market that's traditionally dominated by German carmakers, the Cadillac STS-V makes a tremendous impression."
"The focus on performance doesn't come at the expense of luxury. Just like the standard version, the V-Series sedan is comfy, plush and loaded with a generous amount of premium features. Overall, we're quite impressed."
"The Cadillac STS-V is a special-edition, high-performance sedan available in one trim level only. (Cadillac says it limits production to help exclusivity.) Standard equipment highlights include heated front and rear seats, a navigation system and a 15-speaker Bose surround-sound audio system with a six-CD changer."
"Distinguishing the STS-V from the standard STS are larger wheels (18-inchers in front and 19s in the back), massive Brembo brakes, a larger front grille for improved airflow, additional brake ducts and additional aerodynamic and stylistic enhancements."
"For motivation, the rear-drive STS-V is equipped with a supercharged 4.4-liter V8 engine that pumps out 469 hp and 439 pound-feet of torque. Zero to 60 is accomplished in 5.1 seconds. A highly responsive six-speed automatic transmission (with manual shift control) is standard."
"But the Cadillac STS-V is world-class in ways beyond its under-the-hood muscle. It has been outfitted with a sport-tuned suspension. And compared to a standard STS, V-Series sedan's steering is quicker. The result is that it handles like a car half its size while providing meaningful feedback to its driver. A limited-slip differential, antilock brakes, stability control and traction control are all standard on the STS-V. Other safety equipment includes front-seat side airbags and full-length head curtain airbags."
"The interior is upscale and handsome, with finely stitched seats and accents of wood and aluminum,"
"In reviews, our editors found the Cadillac STS-V to be powerful in every situation. It rockets off the line, but the real allure is what happens afterward. Passing power on the highway is effortless and easy. And even when you don't have the accelerator pedal pinned, the STS-V's handling abilities make it fun to drive."
"In general, the STS-V strikes an excellent balance between high-performance capability and everyday luxury driving."
And from me- Although I have never really used the STS-V's high-performance capability, my wife Ercie and I have really enjoyed the luxury and amenities, and take comfort in the extensive safety features.
I road race one of my Ariel Atoms virtually every time Hallett Motor Raceway has an event- I won the FAA(Formula Ariel Atom) championship in 2013, 2014,2015, and am leading this year with an overall win in the open-wheel class last weekend, and I have always done all my racing at sanctioned events, never on the street. I get plenty of racing on track, with my dedicated racers, so I never take any of my street cars on track, and have never even done a burnout with my STS-V. But an occasional squirt up to the speed limit from stopped, or a spirited pass on the highway really feels good in this Cadillac.
Thanks for looking,

LOWER PRICE- LOWER PRICE
The car has 83,640 miles on it, and we are now offering it for sale at $20,980. That is over $56,000 off of the new price, and is an awful lot of performance, comfort, luxury, and exclusivity for the money!

Here is a video of me in my streetable demonstrator/company car Ariel Atom getting the holeshot at the start of the open-wheel final at Hallett Motor Raceway. Mine is the only car in the group with two seats and street legal (DOT) tires.

Big fun! And this shows how I get my high-performance thrills with my race car, where it is (relatively) safe and legal to do so, and use my Cadillac in the more traditional sense of luxurious, comfortable motoring, at legal speeds, when on the streets and highways. But it is fun to have a great handling and very responsive car like this STS-V, whatever the speed!

That's one helluva beautiful STS-V! I was looking for one many years back. If it was then I would've been all over it. I kept my old Impala SS a bit longer and then picked up a 12 CTS-V Sedan. Can't beat a Caddy V! No longer have the V but still have the old Impala with 190k miles on it...my son uses it for college otherwise I may have considered it. Way to nice of a car for a 19 yr old college kid!

And I don't need an STS-V AND an SL550.
Thanks again,
