The only reason this might be close is that the Caddy is used.
If the Caddy checks out mechanically, get the CTS-V. The TL is essentailly a nice Accord, not a bad car, but not a baaad assss car either. The Caddy has style, though I am not entirely fond of it, and it has that baaad assss Corvette derrived V8.
Good luck.

Sodium cooled exhaust valves, hollow intake valves, and other goodies now found in the extremely awesome LS7.

thanks for all the kind words to everyone. I ended up purchasing a Acura TL, 6 spd w/Nav, Black w/Grey Interior for the out the door price of $33K. I know most ppl liked the CTS-V, however the dealership told me they just replaced the rear differential which is a huge problem w/the CTS-V. This made me leary of purchasing the car as I did not know if this would be a recurring problem or not. Anyhoo, I will likely keep the car only 3 years max and get whatever new model cars are out in 3 years, maybe mitsu evo X?? I sent PMs to those interested in the wheels and extra tires. I'm thinking $200 for all 4 wheels w/TPMS and $100 for the 2 extra tires (I paid $120), does that sound like a fair deal? Honestly, IF I had extra money, a dealership in the area is selling a 05 Vette for $44.5K w/Nav and 10k mileage....if only!!

Dank I had an 04 CTS-V and it was spanking new. I had nothing but problems with it. Had the engine mounts replace at 6k. The car is fast as hell but many problems. I also have a Deville, Escalade and a 350z, oh do not forget my RX8. Out of all my cars the 350Z and the 8 are the least of my problems. The CTS-V was always in the shop. Just imagine all that power, something has to give. I sold it and got 38k for it. I personally never buy GM. I love my 8 and the Z. You might wanna wait for the new 8 or how about a G35? Acura is good but does not look sporty. Corvette---too costly.

Good for you. The Caddy's a car for senior citizens.

I'm familiar with that area and you're right, it almost never floods there. I think the last time it did was with Hurricane Agnes back in the early 70's. As an indicator, my sis-in-law who lives out in Front Royal said that in the recent rain, in a 4-day period her rain gauge measure 17 inches of rain!
