CADILLAC STS-V

[Guest Josh]

The 2006 STS-V, debuting in dealerships this month, is Cadillac’s most intense expression of performance and luxury. The 469-horsepower STS-V is the most powerful production Cadillac ever, delivering advanced performance technology with an added element of hand-crafted elegance. Expert craftsmen assemble each supercharged Northstar engine by hand from start to finish. The interior features hand-wrapped leather, olive ash burl wood and kinetic aluminum trim.

That's not a flattering shot of the STS-V, IMO... Ugh... Looks terrible in it...

[Ultra Magnus]

Its a nice car but the wheels could be better or maybe not wheels that match the paint.
