I think the headlights need to be longer and stretch all the way to the end of the fender

:sarcasm:

Seriously though, what's going on with those headlights?

That's not a cts "v" it's a v sport. The V won't be out for at least a year and I'm sure look a lot more aggressive.

I didn't notice the car in the first video until 1:00.

The only thing that gives me the slightest bit of hope is the radical difference between the second generation CTS and CTS-V:

They really softened up lines on the car. I looks huge. Like a 7 series.

The front is a little weird but interesting. I don't care for the rear, very plain.

Are they watering down the "V" by putting v badges on everything like this car here that really isn't a "v"?

300c is spot on, the beauty of these cars has always been the sharp lines. Turning it into a run of the mill sedan is going to take it back to grandpa status. V1 and V2 may be the end of a good thing sad to say it.

I was next to one yesterday on the road...didn't look as long as it does in this video. Actually look much nicer.

Some footage I found on youtube.

I like the new interior, but the exterior is just not doing it for me. I have a feeling I will be holding on to my Wagon for quite a while.

Get rid of the extra chrome trim, put a mesh grill on it, round tips out the back, get rid of the corporate-idea-of-bling wheels, lower it and it will look badass.

At somewhere in the 3,700-3,800 lbs area, a 600-ish hp Gen 3 CTS-V is going to rock.
