According to the data of Carpoint (MSN Bill Gates shit), the CTS is quicker than Accord V6. In addition, the CTS beat the Accord in all categories.

Cadillac CTS - V6 3.6L (255 hp) 5A + ABS
6.71 sec 0 - 60 Time
15.15 sec 1/4 Mile Time
94.40 mph 1/4 Mile Speed
139 ft Braking 60 - 0

Honda Accord sedan EX - V6 3.0L (240 hp) 5A + ABS
6.84 sec 0 - 60 Time
15.34 sec 1/4 Mile Time
95.70 mph 1/4 Mile Speed
144 ft Braking 60 - 0

I leave you the pleasure to prove me the opposite. :D

Well - considering the CTS is a GM product - it is destined to devalue like a mutha fucka and be frought with issues... ;)

So if I was in the market for a V6 family econobox, the Accord is the obvious winner.

I would not buy a V6 CTS for love or money.

As I say - the only redeeming quality of the CTS-V is the engine... nothing else.

I really don't like those STS's and DTS's and grandpa mobiles too much, and I hope they don't subject poor Europe to them...

Me, this is again simpler, I would not buy the CTS, nor the Accord.

In this category I would take the Infiniti G35 Sedan, 3.5L 260 hp V6, with the 6-speed manual. :wink:

I don't know that chassis is quite well sorted.

Well - yes, the handleling goes hand in hand with the engine tuning - what I am getting at is that GM produces shit by the truck load... and that all around, GM cars general suck - in quality, resale and looks.

There are a few exceptions to this rule... one of which I currently drive, and one I will get in a couple years...

Other than that they are the Wal-Mart of the car world... selling as much shit to as many people as quickly as possible.. :P

from what i got off car stats the Accord is quicker.

I guess it would depend on the driver, conditions etc. alot of my sources say teh CTS.

This is what is has come to?

Bench-racing an Accord against a Caddy.... ;)

i have a 90 sedan deville, :P

so what the hell is this!?! its not even an STS. lol... its still a CTS body, so whats the point of it?

actually that is the new STS they are making all their vehicles look similar now if you haven't noticed and whoever mentioned an ETC-V they haven't made the Eldorado for a year or so now. And RC45 the transmission is a good quality in the CTS-V

I don't remember saying it wasn't - ;) but even the Tremec in my car was subject to GM cost cutting.. they substituted the steel shift forks for cheap aluminium ones...

did you change them out or leave them? you said the only redeaming guality was the engine, so I figured
