Don't look that bad in the grand scheme....

What is the small display and buttons on the edge of the centre console? [edit] nvrmnd. individual climate controls.

Speaking of new rides, I'm kinda wondering how well the wrangler call of duty black ops edition truck will do...

An all black interior? You would not be able to use the car in the summer around here.

True, even in a tin top.

I used to see a lot of black on black BMW convertibles go out the door and you just knew it was a convertible newbie. First time they sat on those seats in shorts..... :eek:

Dash looks pretty much the same as all of them in that price range these days. All those buttons and it probably takes verbal commands as well. I do dislike the pop-up nav screen.

Yeeeeeeeehaw. Reminds of my days with a black interior here in CA. Needless to say I didn't buy the car here and its replacement has very light colored interior!

Nice three spoke steering wheel. Are those shifter buttons by the thumbs or is it the radio and other silly crap. The only thing I want there is the horn.

Color!?!? Come on...isn't this a racing forum filled with high performance automotive enthusiasts? I thought I would see post after post debating pros and cons of this American made beast in comparison to an M5 and E63. We're getting soft as the years move along! :D

If the stock 556hp isn't enough for you...famed tuner Hennessey will bump that number up to above 700hp.

OnStar calls in this one to make sure everythings ok. LOL!

Well I've always thought the car was kind of ugly. Combine that with living in a world of booster seats, 25 mph speed limits and Stop signs every 1/8 mile having either 500 or 700 hp at my disposal seems kind of futile.

Yep, getting old...

150hp in a Lotus 7 knockoff sounds like more fun to me than a 700hp Caddy, but what do I know. 4250lbs and OnStar must be somebody's idea of a good time.

Dood. You posted a picture of the interior of a Caddy. I just assumed that you were wondering if you could split diamonds in the back seat. All I can tell you is that I don't recommend the V8-6-4 option. :)

Seriously, I'm with dc on this one - not much interest in a 2+ ton battle cruiser.

Just read that Lincoln stole Caddy's top stylist. I hope he gets rid of the giant cow catcher they've been using as a grill on Lincolns lately.

I wouldn't buy a CTS-V if it was half price. I'm actually surprised they make a beast like that and I thought push rod/OHV engines were a thing of the past. Does the Vette still use pushrods?

If I'm going to dream about 500hp cars, it would more than likely be made in that little country shaped like a boot.

It probably should.... lol

I'm curious to see how this one flies with the fact that COD: Black ops is one of biggest FPS sellers ever....

Along with http://www.gamebandits.com/blog/2010/11/25/call-of-duty-black-ops-sales-spikes-in-rolling-stones-licensed-music/ where they explain that rolling stone buys spiked after they used the music in trailers.

That car would be a nightmare to keep clean.
