Re: Lock & Load: CTS-V to go hunting in Europe after all

And I'm with you, ATPeele - Clarkson's opinion's going to be interesting. He's been showing grudging signs of liking a few American cars lately. Like the last CTS-V.
He and the rest of the Top Gear team loved the Sixteen. Let's hope the Sixteen queues go over well. The Top Gear team was quite excited about the Sixteen, too bad it's not available.

I predict that in the very near future it won't be punishing ride dynamics that win the day but comfort and if Cadillac can deliver the ULS so as to meet the need of those wanting power and comfort they'll do well to again reach for Standard of the World.

I also figure we'll know Top Gear's general slant towards the CTS once they've reviewed the regular CTS. (I haven't seen a review, yet). However, this recent post at least shows an interest in comparing the V to its proper competitors. At least they know what the CTS competes against in Europe, if our "media' here can't figure it out.
