White looks awesome as well

I would have to put some different wheels on the white car maybe a set of deep dish 360 forged mesh 8's Matte blk centers with chrome or polished lip and then black out the grill.


BTW I had the entire front, side rockers, front pillars and gas cap of my Ivory Pearl GT-R wrapped in XPEL 3m and it looks great can't see any lines. It can be pricey though. Mine was about $1,700.00 but when your spending $60k + for the CTS-V it's worth it. I made a bad mistake not doing my 07 Blk Z06 when I first got it and the stone chips are numerous and I swore I'd never buy a car without putting protection on it again.

I actually like the white one as is........Now, I've seen a black one that was murdered out and it was Beautiful!

I do agree that if you're spending that much for a car, you might as well protect it! I was just saying that it's not cheap (you know that better than I do because you bought some)!

I know a Guy that has an 07 C6 Z06 and had the same things done as you did and it cost him $550 around here (which going by how much you paid, sounds like he got one heck of a deal)!

It was pretty cool because the Guy had a cutter that he just programmed in the type of car and the machine cut the 3M product to fit. He just has to install it. He did a Nice job too! I guess that's easier than trying to stock the pre-cut stuff!

I had a 2004 600 rwhp CTS-V before I got my C6.... and I miss that car at times. I WILL have one of these A.) when I pay off the C6 and B.) after the V gets depreciated. Just wait 2-3 years and they will be half of what they were brand new..... the hard part is waiting 2-3 years...lol!

FreddyG

You've got that right!

Wanderer Z06

Couple of dealers over on the Caddy forums are selling them at about $6-7k of MSRP so it won't be long before we see some nice deals on them.


I really want to get rid of my SSTB and get the V.

FreddyG

The TBSS's are Really Nice!

I had a better deal than that, but couldn't pull the trigger because of depreciation flash backs!

If using GMS pricing (Thanks Dave ), I'd have gotten almost $8k off of MSRP!

I almost kick myself now, but then it'll be that much sweeter when I get one in the forties! I have to keep telling myself that Patience is a virtue!

Wanderer Z06

I know what you mean I have little patience when I want something badly....not always a good thing.


That would have been a good deal...$8k off!

I'm going to take a serious look at one this spring...if it every stops snowing around here

I definitely want a nice black CTS-V. The powertrain you get for the price, especially when used, is unbelievable!

I just can't bear loading up on new debt in the current environment though, even though there are deals to be had.....

The Pearl White looks very nice!! A Pure White would look even better IMO, but I don't think they offer them in that color.

Side note: IMO, the car would benefit with a more flushed look, it seems to sit too high.

Wanderer Z06

I think the angle of the shot makes it look like it is sitting higher than it really is when you see the car in person. I also agree on the color. I like it but I think I would have to go with BLK on the CTS -V.

FreddyG

Is this what you mean?

I'm usually not a fan of white whatsoever, but I can tell even by that picture that it's got that pearl sheen to it and I give it two thumbs up!


My coworker has a Acura that's like that and it looks very luxurious.

danboback

best lookin sedan ever...

LowFlight

I just got back from driving one myself......


The interior is above and beyond anything I have seen from GM ever.

Performance= My God

Looks though....I did not care for in person vs pics. I am going to pass and go for a CPO BMW M5

shawn h.

It looks a little slammed, but it's much better!!

Vettes R Awesome

So you didn't like it in person as much as in pics? Too bad. Here in Europe you only see a CTS once in a big while, but good god does it look great. Sadly, GM or whoever, has decides we need WHITE taillights instead of the normal red here in Europe, making the Escalade, STS and CTS look awkward from the back.

Sad to see you are opting for a M5, this is one of the biggest bets in getting conquests from euro-brands. The best performance sedan in the world is the CTS-V

FreddyG

I did that for effect. If a little slammed is good, then more is better. At least as far as the pictures go. In real, they aren't that high and in my opinion, are just the right height to be functional, yet Cool looking!

I wouldn't want (or have) a car that low because the roads around here would tear it up!

...........Especially for the money!

That M5 will see the tail lights of a Vee, but I will admit that they are Sweet cars that perform well. They lack torque though and unless you're revving the motr to 7000+ rpm, you're not getting all that you can out of that car! I'll take the Vee with 500 ft./lbs of torque @ 3000 rpm, but that's just me!

Please don't even get me started on Maintainence costs for a German car! Just trying to prepare you!

Good Luck!

I agree with you all this is an absolutely fantastic sedan. Ideally I'd have one and a ZO6. But I recently bought a daily driver (2008 Accord). Plus I don't know how I'd justify to my wife a DD that gets 12-15 mpg

I had been told that GMS wasn't available on the new CTS-V. One of my partners just got one and qualified for GMS but only got $500 off a $66k car.
My wife and I were fortunate to have driven the car at Monticello Motor Club in Nov. when Cadillac invited a few hundred there for a weekend of test drives. Fantastic car!
