One of the cheesiest designs I have seen lately. Will suit the 65-year-old ricer boys just fine.

 ::) or 47 year old men like me who can afford them.

Well, then GM are onto something here  ;) Oh, and I didn't mean insult anybody with my comment. It is obvious that I am just not in the right demographic as the car does not appeal to me.

Thanks for pointing me to the TATA thread, safristi. Unfortunately, I have generally very little interest in poor design jobs, be it from Delhi or Detroit.

For rrocket:

A larger, cast-iron differential housing replaces the previous CTS-V's Achilles'-heel aluminum differential (known for its tendency to fail under hard use), and it contains a mechanical limited-slip unit. Presumably these changes will eradicate the axle hop that plagued the last car.

It appears that the housing has been the source of the problems with the wheel hopping . That will make a nice vehicle with this problem cleared up which will be very hard to beat in this class of car. The V has been quite a car in its own right but this improvement will only make it better.  :)

Hopefully that fixes it....I still can't believe they ever let it go to market with the bad wheel hop the 1st time around...
