Default New DD

The lease on my Ford Fusion Hybrid was up and despite the 40mpg and nice tech features I decided it was time for a little more daily zip. Found a nice 2014 CTS Vsport with the 3.6
liter twin turbo V6 with rebate. 420hp, 430 ft lbs. Has the MRC with tour, sport, track, and ice modes. 8 speed with paddles shifters. Configurable DIC with boost gage haven't really got on it yet but have seen 11 psi. Told the wife it was "just a V6" so no problems there. Very solid feel to the car. Actually feels quicker just to leave the tranny in D and let it downshift or up shift depending on the situation. The only giveaway that it's a Vsport is the "V" on the trunk. The Vette is going to stay on the battery charger this weekend.

Wow, that's killer! Did you do another lease? If so, mind sharing some general terms? Love the looks inside and out and that is some serious power for a DD!

At just about $900 monthly it's pretty far out of my willingness range... absolutely sweet car nonetheless.

Beautiful ride , caddy has really steped up but having said that I beleive they have priced themselves out of this market.

Id rather have a E class, 5 Series and also A6 before id get the Caddy.
( I actually end up getting a 2014 E550 MB) for a 4 dour. I did look at the Caddy as well.
