Jezza liked the CTS-V?

So pigs are now cleared to land at Heathrow? I'm amazed. FWIW, it is an absolutely amazing machine.

The CTS-V base price will be $62,000 in the US.
If you look at the cost of a Corvette Z06 in the US versus what's being asked for them in the UK, I'm guessing that the Caddy is going to be nearer 57k than 47....
