I drove the new CTS-V.

Here are my impressions:

- Big car, can't seem to feel its corners (spatial orientation)
- Excellent Recaro seats (wouldn't buy the car without it)
- nice interior (is this a GM product?)
- massive torque (I drove an automatic)
- not impressed with the tranny (didn't shift very well- wouldn't allow some downshifts)
- superb suspension (those shocks are awesome)
- handling is impressive for a 4200lbs car

the problem is.. however as impressive as it is, it just lacks a feeling or soul. I don't feel
excited driving the car, unless you consider burnouts exciting.
