coolest American Sedan?

I had some dork at the Minneapolis auto show try to tell me the LS6 wouldn't fit... God I love the guys dealers send to shows

anyway, the CTS isn't the greatest looking car IMO, but you can't argue with 400 HP Z06 V8! About damn time someone from the states took on the M3, S4 etc!

I'd say Mazda 6. Can't get a Caddy with a stick last I checked. At the very least, they'll be hard to find if they do offer a stick and I'm sure it'll be gone next year when they realize that old people buying Caddy's won't buy a stick.

Besides, designwise, most American sedans suck - the 6 seems to be changing that.

not sure what you guys are talking about but the article says the new CTS will be RWD and it'll be a six-speed stick.

About the old people buying Caddys yeah that's true but when was the last time you saw some old guy in a CTS, I haven't seen one

i'm not a fan of american cars either but i like to keep the facts straight

just my $0.02 though

Well, I didn't say that there wouldn't be a stick so much as no one will buy a Caddy with a stick. For the price, you can get the Vette which is likely to outhandle this not to mention look nicer.

There's not enough market for a luxury car with a stick trying to be a sports car too... at least that's my take...

what about an M3, S4, Jag S-type R, M5, etc - all are luxury cars with sporty properties....
