[SYD] Spotted Cadillac STS-V

[dustbug]

First thing, don't think this should go in UFO as its not an Opel....... but back to the point.

Was picking up my car on the corner of Liverpool St and Kent St in the city [SYD] and saw this monster grill looking thing, beautiful car and as it drove by, there was a sticker on the bumper saying "left hand drive".

Well after like 2 mins of googling, i worked out that it was a Cadillac STS-V imported from America.

HOOTTTTT!!!!

Anyone pick up on the back ground the V symbol is the same as the SS-V ?

Yeh was looking at that, very similar to the SS and Calais V models.

Supercharged Northstar V8 I think..

Saw an Escalade on the Cumberland Hwy on Friday :)

and the front grill assembly n front bar look very similar to that of the vz senators

Ive seen a few new Caddys around my work area, ive definetely seen an STS, looked hot and also seen a few Escalades, they gotta be the biggest Pimp My Ride car on the road!!! Too bad theyre all Toorak Tractors (literally!! :P)

its not exactly the same :p

the colours are slightly different, but it is true that Holden ripped off caddy's "V"

[btm]

looks a little bit like the 300C

[Vectracious]

I wonder if Holden will pull their finger out and finally bring them for sale here - look at the success with Chrysler with the 300C - I would so buy an STS or even a CTS over a 300C.

[MatsHolden]

Holden have got their Statesman and Caprice though. I remember Holden said if they did bring them out, they would be badged as Cadillac.

yeah saw the same one on tuesday going over the harbour bridge...
looked hot!

STS is much more expensive than a 300C

Isn't this the "dinging" car from Top Gear's review? :)
Also wasn't it the car that was in the main car-chase scene for Matrix-Reloaded?
