CTS-Vs are 70+k. I don't really like the looks either, they are just so big and heavy. But you have to give it some props for being as fast as it is. The Nurburgring run most of been a nightmare, I can't imagine trying to push that much weight around. I like light weight affordable for me under 50K 2 seat rear wheel drive sports cars. That's why I own a 2007 Xifre SRT6 and a 1993 Mazda RX7 TT. Nothing like piloting a sub 300 lb car(RX7)! For the money of the CTS-V coupe I would rather buy a 1996 Porsche Turbo, the last of the air cooled cars they are amazing. Just my 2 cents.
