I'm trying to be patient with my next car buying round.  I'm still looking
for an american made replacement for the SHO.  I don't know if it will
happen again in my lifetime.  It's amazing to me that with the massive
popularity of NASCAR, that there wouldn't be something out there.  I've
seen enough CTS' on the road that the styling is okay with me.  However
the reviews of the V model weren't completely flattering, and for $50K,
there are better choices out there as you say.
