This is the problem with brand in this segment diluting their performance brands (M-Sport, S-Line, AMG-Line). Sometimes the dirty trick works.

That's not a CTS-V. That's a CTS V-Sport. The new CTS-V hasn't been sold yet. Still, props to the mom who DDs a 420 HP RWD Cadillac.
sm70- why not Duesenberg?

That sort of thing is where it gets a bit fiddly. The M235i is like an S3 compared to the [apparently imminent] M2 and RS3, if you like. Rather than just being a normal model with some trimmings and ///M badges, it's a whole model that's a kind of stepping stone between fake M and proper M.
I think...
If not then it (and the M135i) is the exception that proves the rule.

The other car I really like and would love for a winter/commuter car (when I had a 60 mile a day commute) is the Audi B7 A4 avant S-line.
I actually would prefer one of these to a proper B7 S4.

I didn't think so! Thats why I was so excited!! So confusing. A 991 GT3 showed up later to make up for it.

Yeah, Cadillac names are pretty damn stupid. Like I said, its still pretty cool, its just not a true CTS-V. A 991 GT3 more than makes up for that!

I'm curious how they are going to differentiate the badging on the CTS-V? Because it seems the V-Sport model has the same badging as the previous CTS-V...

My guess? They probably keep it the same. I think the aggressive looks of the new CTS-V will be enough to differentiate it from the CTS V-Sport. Either that, or they might just get rid of the CTS V-Sport as a whole, since it really won't serve much of a purpose after the new CTS-V is released.

They have different badges, the VSport has a red and silver stripe running next to the V, where as V models have the crest inspired colour scheme.
Also, if someone is labeling cars on badge alone they need to turn in their oppo card, especially when the V and VSport are pretty significantly different on the exterior aggressive standpoint.
Did he actually see a Dino too? Maybe it was a Dart and he read the badge wrong. womp womp.
Also, not saying people should know the difference between V badge styles, but come on, put a V and Vsport side by side and play spot the difference.
