Default Top Gear Cadillac CTS-V Review

Jeremy Clarkson can't believe that an American sport sedan can have European handling. He races it against The Stig in an Audi S4 before sending it around the track.

It gets really hillarious when he gets to the part about the Atlas.

The "colony" comments at the end was hilarious.

4 door Vette... I love this car. The up-coming CTS-V with the Z06 LS7 will outperform the V10 M5 in a straight line. Handeling is questionable right now.

I plan to review the CTS-V myself...but it probably won't be for a couple of weeks. The next several days I will be at the D.C Auto Show.

American? Like the Saturn Aura, Pontiac G6, Chevy Malibu, and Saab 9-3, It is a warmed-over German Opel design....though less warmed-over than the Chevy and Pontiac, and, of course, with the modified Corvette engine, far more powerful.
