New Ride

Well the RX-8 is no more. My lease was up and I turned it back into Mazda about a month ago. I was able to get a company car, which I was pretty excited about, I had never had a company car before. I had looked at the new Mazda 6, Pontiac G8 GT and my old regional manger had a 08 Cadillac CTS with 5,000 miles that I could take over. After my girl and I talked about it we took the CTS. She will probably be driving this car as much as I do(with as much traveling as I do), and she loved everything about it. Before you ask how it compares to the RX8, they are very different, and yes I do miss the 8. This is the first american car I have had, and love it so far.

Great choice. I love the looks/style of the CTS. It seems to be rated well also.

i think what really made me like this car besides watching SCCA Speed World Challenge. Is Matrix 2, that car chase scene is probably best besides Ronin or Borne series i have ever seen.

+1 I was checking them out a CarMax when getting my truck appraised - very sharp. White is always nice.

Looks good. I just wish they offered one of GM's V8's in the standard CTS cars. You have to dish out a lot more dough to get one in the CTS-V.

I was looking at the CTS after I wrecked my 8, I just think I'm to young to be in a Cadi (29) The CTS-V is a different story but way to much.

Thumbs up

Congrats on the the nice car. It is so much better looking than the G8, I don't care what people say. Plus and friend of mine imports the G8 from Australia and says they are garbage, every 300/1000 have issues. Good decision.

Congrats on the new car. Do you ever plan on getting another sports car one day?
