When Bob Lutz offered a challenge to the world to take him on and Cadillac's highly competitive CTS-V, you would have thought this would be a Kodak moment for any major manufacture in the business of making competitive, quality products within this arena. Everyone from Audi to Subaru should have stepped up to the opportunity to make a name, again for themselves. Is it possible, being that Cadillac having nothing to lose and everything to gain in this challenge, and realizing this, knows that everyone else would be marginalized? For the most part, it was the likes of Mercedes, Jaguar, BMW and others opportunity to step up, seized the moment and commenced to put Cadillac's CTS-V and as Jalopnik satirically coined the name " Maximum Bob Lutz" in their respective places. When Jaguar backed out of the challenged, this sent a message to some and subconsciously others might be thinking as well, was this challenge Cadillac's to loose all this time? As of this posting, Wes Siler of Jalopnik has replaced the opted out Jaguar XFR for an Evo X MR to race at Monticello Motor Club on Thursday along with other CTS-V's from private owners. Well at the moment, Cadillac and the brain trust at GM, point one and everyone else, "no soup for you."
