Default 2008 Cadillac CTS Rendering, CTS-V To Supposedly Get LS7 As Well

http://www.autoblog.com/entry/1234000847064887/

Very sharp. I like it more than the current car. It looks like they adapted the headlights from the Sixteen concept and the grille from the Epsilon based Euro market only BLS. I like. Can't argue with an LS7 for the CTS-V either. That should be a real hoot and it means that the top model CTS will keep it's 3rd pedal afterall. Many were worried that the General might get soft and offer some sort of clutchless manual or automatic on the next CTS-V but if the LS7 finds its way under the hood, we can rest assured we'll get a traditional 6 speed stick. Wewt Wewt.

CORRECTION. This is a rendering based on what the artist WISHES the next CTS would look like. Sorry for the mislead. The people who posted the article did not clarify this. As for the rumor of an LS7, I cannot confirm that info to be true either. Sorry for the mislead again. Rather than delete the thread however, I think it's cool enough for us to discuss this anyway.

I've heard it looks like that, nice rendering. We'll see what the real thing looks like.
I think the LS7 will be in the history books before the 2009 CTS-V hits the streets though.

All i know is that a CTS-V with an LS7 will be incredible. Wish i had the money even for a CTSV now.

Rendering-wise, that's pretty neat-looking.

i like that look, very classy. it will be interesting to see how much GM will end up whoring out the LS7. before long all the cars in the chevy lineup will have a 500hp engine option that'd be badass in a aveo!

It kind of has a menacing look to it....kinda like "back off".

With the stock wheelbase, you'd have to straddle a V8 stuffed in an Aveo
There's a project for anyone in the Indy area. A local dealer is giving away a free Aveo with every Trailblazer purchase.
