Well... guess what GM... What do you think the CTS-V is supposed to be?
It's supposed to be for filthy rich people who don't get a damn about gas prices and want the best and fastest car out there.
Getting a CTS-V in Europe is the best way to make an impact.
Big, brash American V8 luxury sedan to run with the M5.

We know a RHD CTS-V is technically not possible because of the engine. But a LHD CTS-V should have no problem in Europe.

What's GM's stupid reason this time around?

Give it up Cadillac. You will NEVER be the standard of the world. You will NEVER make an impact in Europe. You will NEVER be more than a 2nd tier luxury brand.
