Most Fun New Car Under $75,000: 2009 Cadillac CTS-V

Rocketing down the back straight on the infield course at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California, the supercharged V-8 roaring, tires squealing, silly grins on both of our faces, our passenger turned and said simply, "We're in a Cadillac." Specifically, we were in the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V, a 556-horsepower luxury sedan that would handily outrun most sports cars. It's sexy, sophisticated, great to drive, and is exactly the kind of car that you knew Cadillac could build if it were allowed to. At a starting price just less than $60,000, it slips easily under our price ceiling, and into our Editors' Choice awards.
