i love the CTS v and that new one is very sexy but i like the old ones personlly... before i got the SS i test drove a few CTS-vs and i almpst got one... somehting about a 4dr leather luxury caddy that has a muscle car motor (LS6).... that would be badass to cam one and ut a nice exhaust system on it so it sounds like a lopping muscle car when it pulls up next to you....

needless to say o didnt get one because i could not find nice one with low miles for under 28 grand

because you'd go through clutches like they are disposable.

AWD is very hard on clutches, especially on the launch. Contrary to what the ricers tell you with Evos and STIs you can't just rev the piss out of them and drop the clutch. Now I'm not saying you can't get a very sturdy clutch that can handle the power but it's often too stiff and quirky to put in a production car, especially a luxury car like a Caddy. You'd get nothing but complaints about it if you did put a nice sturdy clutch in there.

So that's why companies like Mercedes, Bugatti, Ferrari (to a lessor extent), and now Cadillac are going to sequential or automatic transmissions.
