2009 Cadillac CTS-V test drive
The CTS-V is the high-performance version of Cadillac's CTS sedan, and it's all-new for 2009. The old CTS-V packed a big 400 horsepower V8 and a manual transmission, a lot of hardware for a car its size. But the new CTS-V makes the old one pale: A bigger, supercharged V8 that pours out a whopping 556 hp, plus it's available with an automatic transmission. How does it all come together? Amazingly well, as it turns out -- read on. Pricing TBD (approx. $60,000 - $67,000, incl. destination and gas guzzler tax), EPA fuel economy TBD (approx. 13 MPG city, 19 MPG highway).
Toyota RAV4 Function
Most of the RAV4's controls are well-marked and simple to use. If you've driven any Japanese car built within the last quarter-century, you'll know how to use the lights and wipers. The climate control in the Limited, however, dispenses with the normal three-knob layout for quirky circular push-button pods that take some getting used to. Should you opt for the optional JBL audio system, you'll likely be disappointed in the sound quality if you like your music loud and clear, though it does include Bluetooth connectivity.

Who Should Buy This Vehicle
A family with two or more children seeking a kid hauler with the type of style that hides the fact mom and dad are driving a kid hauler. We think that'll apply to a great many.
