I remember the first time I road in a Caddy back in the the early 90's. I thought that it was so nice that I told my dad's friend (the owner) that one day I would buy one. How sad it is.

 

Looks pretty but the hood has to go.

 

The wheels look horrible but the rest of the car would be great if it actually had some power to back it up. They should've applied this treatment to the CTS-V if they hadn't stopped making it.

 

^^ The hood is off the pontiac G8, no way will this make production. Wheels will go too, 19's are the max they would put on a production CTS.
The CTS-V will be back in a couple of years, along with a CTS-V Coupe.
That will be the true sports CTS, this is just a cosmetics downgrades...

When you keep the looks of these cars down to earth they look pretty good.

Heres my STS V8

Trading it in soon

 

the V is expected in 09.

the rims are too much and don't flow with the sporty look.

the rear bumper and hood remind me of NFS underground mods I would do to a civic, so i doubt they will be in production (ditto on the G8 hood).

the blacked trim and grill (which is carbon fiber) look really good.
