With all the headaches and little crap that always needs attention... my 04 has and always will be my favorite car.
Ive had the thing since 07 and I don't ever think I'll sell it. It's always found a way to keep the love even when I've wanted to light the bitch on fire lol!
car guys/gals will always debate everything under the sun,but what it comes down to in everyone's life is what You (as an individual) are drawn to and how something effects your personal feelings.
Bottom line to my emo rant lol. The first gen is what has brought out the desire for the caddy team to build on what they started.
it is a special car

Given what has followed, including hi-po rear drivers from Dodge/Chrysler too, it certainly is a relevant car. It's exactly what the doctor ordered for an f-body guy that wanted more doors and refinement but liked the overall flavor. V2 and V3 just carrying on the tradition now. Classic? We'll see, but certainly relevant...and I love mine too.

When I had my M3 I told myself I would keep that car forever, I didn't do that. Now that I have this car, I will certainly keep it forever. No plans on ever getting rid of my V. In fact, I dream of the days when I will restore the V the same way our dads did with other classics.

If you wait long enough, even heavily-modded cars are sometimes worth more with "period" aftermarket parts.. So in 2057 be looking for my classified ad:
Hip fracture forces sale: 2007 CTS-V $64,000,000 OBO
(adjusted for inflation and rarity of course)

Great little article. Being a manual it certainly gives them some desirability right out the gate, less and less manuals are available in the performance cars. The design is great, not sure if timeless but it won't ever look bad. I get a mix of people thinking it's newer than what it is or that it's a grandma car. But some issues about it being a "future classic", there is the GTO and LS2 corvette. Sure it's the most practical of all but it will never break free and become a great investment because in the end, it performs similar to these other LS2 factory machines. It may be the first "V" but there is not much legacy behind the name, the second gen shadows the first so much I don't think it'll ever really stand out as a must have.

The thing is, rare cars like this are just plain cool. Especially if they are taken care of. People always ask me if my car is the new model. In fact, someone asked me if this was the new Cadillac Hybrid, I was in a wealthy neighborhood and the lady was thinking of getting one, she said my car was gorgeous and wanted one like it. Regular people have no idea these cars are old. I mean, unless it is parked next to a new model, then yea, but on its own it might as well be like the Ferrari F355, it looks great still as long as it is taken care of.
