I am sure most of you have seen the coverage of the new CTS-V which will be coming out in late 2004. It is the performance version (V-Series) of the the CTS sedan. I would imagine this gives some insight into the future of the XLR V-Series, as GM has also mentioned their plans to build one.
The CTS-V will also be dear to many of us Corvette owners, as it uses the same LS6 engine as the Z06. The car should simply rock.
Here is a nice article about the CTS-V:

The article claims that the CTS-V is a competitor to the BMW M3, and it surely is in price, but size-wise and performance-wise it is actually closer to the BMW M5. The CTS-V is supposed to be priced right around $50k, so the M5 is going to have some stiff competition (The M5 will have less HP and torque, weigh nearly 200 lbs more, and cost about $25k more).
Also, check Autoweek for some really nice photos.
