Pontiac Solstice and V8 Saturn Sky options to their lineup.
This car was #006 for 2005. The build included the following:

As mentioned, this car has the optional Mallett Wheels, of which there were reportedly only 25 sets
produced. Considered to be one of the best looking wheels for a first generation CTS-V, these one piece
forged wheels feature a durable finish and strong, light weight construction. These wheels alone still sell
for $2-3,000 on the rare occasion that they come up for sale.
- At just over 33,000 miles from new, this car is in excellent condition. The exterior has been very
well cared for, as has the interior. The interior is free from any rips, stains, damage, or excessive
wear. The exterior is very good as well, with the paint being in quite good shape, aside from one
small blemish on the front bumper, as shown in the pictures. Overall it shows very well.
Mechanically, the car is very sound:
- Runs great; no drivability issues.
- According to Chuck Mallett, this car put 438hp to the rear wheels after receiving its
modifications. That calculates to approximately 503hp at the crankshaft.
- This car was under extended warranty until early this spring, and so has always had any required service done in a very timely manner.
- Everything works on the car, exactly as it should. No issues or surprises.
- Car has had the oil changed religiously every 3,000 miles. Mobil 1 synthetic only.
issues taken care of in a prompt and through fashion.
- Window tint is 2% all the way around.
While under warranty, the rear differential was upgraded to the fourth and best
revision of the design, due to the original unit developing a slight whine as so many of the early versions are prone to do.
- Full dealer service records are available.
Current owner has owned the car since 2008, at which point it had 11,700 miles on it. It has never seen
snow, and has only been caught in the rain a handful of times. Very well cared for, always stored during
winter, etc.

SRX-replacing Cadillac XT5 spied for the very first time
Thu, 30 Oct 2014Cadillac has got big plans in place to revitalize its lineup, with new sedans, coupes and crossovers. And it all starts with this, the replacement for the SRX.
Expected to be called XT5 in line with the brand's new naming scheme, the crossover will be based on a scalable new platform called C1XX - or Chi, for short. In its shorter form, Chi is anticipated to underpin the XT5 as well as a new Chevy crossover and the next-gen GMC Acadia. In long-wheelbase form, the platform is slated to give us a larger Cadillac crossover as well as a new Buick Enclave and Chevy Traverse.
Power in the XT5 will be provided by a choice of turbo four or atmospheric six, potentially to be transmitted through GM's new nine-speed automatic.
Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
Is Lincoln MKC cutting into Cadillac SRX sales?
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The two big American luxury brands of Cadillac and Lincoln are on surprisingly similar paths at the moment with both divisions hoping to redefine themselves and grow popularity. They're still early in the process with no clear winner yet, but things might actually be looking up for Lincoln's latest model, according to a monthly sales analysis from The Motley Fool. It seems, at least early on, that the new MKC crossover might be taking a bite out of the Cadillac SRX's growth.
The MKC launched just a few months ago and has been getting a big marketing push from a series of oft-mocked ads starring the smooth-talking Matthew McConaughey. The luxury CUV has been the popular, new kid on the block with growing sales since its introduction. While smaller than the SRX, the Lincoln starts at a lower price and offers better fuel economy.
Through June, the SRX performed well with sales up over 20 percent on average through June, according to The Motley Fool. However, July and August saw things plummet with year-over-year drops of 7 percent and 37 percent, respectively. It still far outsold the MKC in terms of actual units in a given month, but the Caddy's continued growth has appeared to stagnate.
