Better be absolute perfection to be priced near M5 territory. A car that has been described as the perfect performance 4 door car in the past.

9 grand less than an M5? Not bad caddy, not bad.

 

[BS ISF]

damn caddy! still expensive but that starting price point is solid!

 

[cacicgtp7]

Actually I stand corrected, BMW doesn't include the destination charges and this does so that's actually 10K less than the base of an M5 (which also gets hit with gas guzzler tax).

Does the CTS-V get gas guzzler tax?

 

[nos4blood70]

I would assume the Caddy gets the gas guzzler tax.

Not bad I guess. Can't wait to see one on the street. When I was at the auto show, I literally spent 15 minutes just looking at the V rotating on display.

 

[Gone_2022]

Do the corvettes get the tax? I thought they got around that for a while because it used to boast high 20's on the hwy.

Interesting:

5) No tax for 640 horsepower or 200 mph.

Final EPA fuel-economy estimates for the CTS-V are pending, but Cadillac tells us it fully expects the super-sedan to avoid the gas-guzzler tax. BMW M5 and Benz E63 AMG owners aren't so lucky.

If that ends up being true now it's more like 12,000 between the two.

no tax for 640hp..


yet i get taxed for 415hp

 

[boostedguy05]

has nothing to do with hp, all about combined mpg

http://www.epa.gov/fueleconomy/guzzler/420f12068.pdf

Combined fuel economy of: Amount
at least 22.5 mpg No tax
at least 21.5, but less than 22.5 mpg $1000
at least 20.5, but less than 21.5 mpg $1300
at least 19.5, but less than 20.5 mpg $1700
at least 18.5, but less than 19.5 mpg $2100

Gas guzzler tax is so fucking stupid!

 

[syP]

yes i know.

i was pointing out the fact that a 640hp car gets better fuel economy than a 415hp car

 

[Great White Drake]

This thing is killer. I think I'll pick one up in 4 years.

Dog-gone right! Because,....technology!!!

Actually, it shouldn't be hard to get enough MPG out of the SS in stock form so as to avoid the tax. I guess GM was lazy that day.

 

[cacicgtp7]

M5 gets the $1,300 tax.


Holy crap @ $6400 for 13 mpg combined.

The 13 combined are usually supercars. so 6400 on top of a 400k car is not even felt by those buyers

 

[VenomousDSG]

So after taxes, title, licensing, other misc fees, OTD you're looking at about $90K for a GM product. No thank you.

Or a WK1 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8! LOL

 

[jason05gt]

This will be a nice used car in 2-3 years when they are in the low 40k range.

bingo

 

[YoushallgoFo]

if it sounds anything like the c7z it'll be worth it.

 

[Spivitz]

Car is real slick.
640hp

If you can get by the blandness (I can), a Chevy SS with the magride suspension seems like a downright bargain.

 

[EmersonHart13]

This is outright blatant price gouging.

 

[Mike K]

I don't think they care how many they sell. The high end performance variations sell the lower end models. So the V is going to move standard CTS's too, probably a lot of V-Sports as well. And if you price it too low it's going to de-value the other models.

I bet the V-Sport is the bread and butter and the V is just a "Hey look what we can do".

M5's sell 535 M-Sports no doubt.
