At the end of the week, the CTS-V is the first Cadillac I've wanted since the mid-60s Eldorado. Its wickedly cool styling, awesome performance and practical proportions give it few true competitors. It's not cheap, at just a hair under its European rivals, but it also smokes them all from zero to hero while still looking pretty fleet on its feet through the corners. OK Cadillac, you've got me sold.
