Holy crap this color is amazing, I need it in my life!

So classy. I want all its supercharged LC3 Northstar-y goodness.

Yeah, these are good looking cars. My downstairs neighbor at the last apartment I lived in, had a CTS in that color. It looks outstanding in person.

I’m a fan of the first gen CTS-V too. Although, in my opinion, the STS-V feels more special because of the longer wheelbase and Northstar.

The strangest thing is that these older Caddys went through a phase where they looked terrible compared to most other cars. Now they are the standouts in the looks department.

I think the non-V trims of that era haven’t aged all that well, but the CTS-V and STS-V are still classy.

That’s what happens when a basic design language doesn’t change at all for over a decade.

Agreed, they had some great colors for the V cars.

Just looked them up and damn they’re expensive! And auto only :(

This was my top choice before I bought my S600. So classy. So good. I still want one...

I love them both, but the STS gets no love.

Something about the STS-V having a Cadillac specific engine makes it so much cooler too.

Until you step inside. Then it’s like a dungeon of cheap plastic.

Stealth Gray Metallic. My G6 was the same colour.

And the tires even have a bit of sidewall. Nice!

Agreed. Just wish there was a stick option, not because its more fun to drive but more engaging which is especially nice mated with a V8

This one’s about 19k, which certainly isn’t cheap.

Agreed, I love the LC3. 469 hp out of a supercharged 4.4.

Wow, it looks much bluer on the STS.

I knew a guy that had one of those. The blower whine on it sounds amazing!

That is similar in color to my first GTO which was Cyclone Grey Metallic.

Yet so cool in that sweet blue gray.

(and fake wood, and early 2000's displays.)

Early 2000's GM performance cars are becoming my biggest lusts. I want a 6.0 GTO and a C5 Z06 too.

Well there’s a reason why Chevrolet calls the same paint “Blue Granite Metallic”. Personally I think it looks more green than blue.

I almost bought a C5 Z06 instead of my GTO. I am happy to have the back seat, but less thrilled to not have more trunk.
