is it me or has GM just reinvented there Aztec body style. it looks cool but also bulky at the same time .I'll have to see one in person to really decide if i like or dislike. maybe its just the red on that body style that gives me the old AZTEC feeling. like just a trim package update from a now gone pontiac div. designer.

This is going to be my "skinny" car when I graduate college and get a job. I had always wanted the non-coupe version, but after seeing this one in black or even silver, I want one. For very little money spent, these beasts can be pushing over 700HP. These cars are awesome! And if you wait until they're a couple years old they can be had for less than half price with fewer than 20k on the clock.

My son wants an older one and he says they can be found for ~$15K now.

...and no, doesn't look ANYTHING like an Aztec but looks pretty typical of many sportier cars out there now. I think they're kinda cool.


Only 2 valves per cyl?

Due to designs, a lot of these cars now all look the same to me. Maybe I'm just getting old (which I am), but cars use to have personalities. Now the all look the same.

Top Gear loved it, IIRC...for performance...not much else. i can't imagine getting the high-end CTS-V for $15k used though...maybe just the standard CTS...

It looks Almost like a performance coup...so no, Nothing like the Aztec.
