The only remaining glaring oversight in the CTS range is the lack of a V8 version outside of the 'set on kill' V Series. While refinement might not be quite at the level it should even the detuned 400hp version of the LS3 available in the G8 would be better than the nothing were getting. Think about it, I can drop 30k and get a V8 in the new G8 but I can't get a V8 outside of the LSA in a CTS at any price. It doesn't make sense.

Lack of a V8 kept it from playing in this comparo and it keeps the car from being parked in at least a few thousands driveways every year.
