I like the looks of the upgraded seats as well as the upgraded wheel. It does beg the question, why can't they upgrade those parts in the Z06 and ZR1?

The ZR1 is getting new, better improved Michelin runflats.

On the website it said 80 grand starting price.

I'd rather get an RS4. On the Audi website it said 66 grand starting price.

Just my opinion on the matter. The new CTS is a lot nicer than it used to be. I'm still an Audi guy.

lets hope it performs as good as it looks. the CTS wasnt very good looking but just look at how this one looks now.
why is the 2009 CTS-V based on the previous CTS?

It's an E63 or M5 rival, more than an RS4. And it has about 130bhp more than Audi. And the Audi is out of production.

The one thing I like about this car is that it is quite discreet. Unlike European rivals.

I was refering to the steering wheel but it's good to know they are getting better tires too.

We get alot of people moaning about the position of our Power window switches..

But honestly that dual climate set-up is as stupid as a scorpion down your pants, Who was thinking when they installed the screens down there??.

I understand. Then I'd take the M5, although that's significantly more expensive, with a manual transmission.

The RS4 was pretty discreet by itself. BMW and Mercedes have blown things out of proportion. What i liked about the C55 AMG was that it looked pretty much like a C class. Now with the vent crazy rage, you could spot it from 20 miles away.

powerful weapon, not a huge fan of the boxy look but im sure it would grow on me. The competition is insanely tough for this type of vehicle

On what website? I haven't seen any pricing.

In my opinion the base CTS looks better than the CTS-V.
