I think it's time for an upgrade.. Well I really love camaro's but I think I'm finally to the point where I want more of a luxury car. I don't want to give up the power side though, so I'm gonna pick up a CTS-V. I think this is a good balance of power and luxury. I really don't want to sell mine but it would be an excellent down payment for the V. What do yall think? Anyone else feel like the inside is a little outdated?

If you're going to trade for something more lux-oriented, get a Pontiac G8. I like it's interior a lot more than the CTS. My mom took me along with her for a test drive of an STS, and I liked it a lot more than the CTS. The CTS feels too small. The G8 overall is the better choice to me, because inside it's more or less the same size as an STS. The G8 and STS hold 4 adults very well. CTS... not so much. My head was hitting part of the roof in the backseat.

If you're going to get rid of the Camaro, get a G8 GXP, if you're going to keep the Camaro just get a G8 GT with the paddle shifters. My Grand Prix GXP is lots of fun, and I enjoy how different driving with paddle shifters is.
If you really like the looks of the CTS though, and don't care about a nice comfy backseat for adults, then you can't argue that the CTS is good. I just found that my average 6' tall body didn't like the backseat much because of my head touching the roof.

I have two CTS-Vs: check signature:
I have owned two T/As in the past, and this is by far my favorite car(s)
There are a couple Maggie'd Vs for sale in the CTS-V forum on here....one in Austin for 25K...looks unbelievable and makes 503 to the rears! CCW wheels as well. Well under 30K miles. G8s have a nice interior, but you can't go wrong with a V. There are some amazing deals out there....

I'd love a GXP but price will be a little steep for me. I think I'm going to sell the camaro so its time for a V. The only ones I'm looking at are maggie'd so I should have plenty of power.

bc the badass one is 35k and a supercharged cts-v is 20-25. i'd kill for the new ss though
Thats what I wanted to do, but I still havent yet. Still got my truck and pretty much at the moment just dealing with other stuff. My mind is actually not on cars for the first time. Maybe during summer, but the itch for a vette or beemer has really been that bad. So I will wait still.
