    It doesn't. Toyota unlike Honda (CRZ) isn't trying to attract an enthusiast buyer with their stretched Prius.

    Smartphone? Pic Upload app? I do not understand why there are no pics in this thread. My Passat thread had 40 pics during the purchase process. This is a CTS-V! Come on!

    I could pay off my house and worldly problems for the price of that car. I just cannot fathom how people can spend that kind of money on a car. And even if I was going to drop $60K, it sure as hell wouldn't be on a Cadillac

    60K can pay off your house?? either you live in a Bounty Box or you've been making mortgage payments for the last 25 years.... at least I hope so anyway!

    He lives in Plano Texas. Houses have gotta be cheaper there.

    and for god's sake, this is a miserable thread without pictures.

    and started off with a freakin' letter of the alphabet?

    ga ha ha ....

    Why don't I just start a pictureless thread entitled
    Gimme a "C"
    ?
