Well......I'm 2 1/2 years into my CTS-V. I'll wait to hear how you like it after the rear end takes a crap every 10M miles and you have to put $1200 worth of tires on it every 8M miles. Great car in concept and they suck in reality. GM just failed to finish the engineering before they sent them out of the factory. It's a fun car while it's working but nothing like a Corvette in reliability.
