The 2019 Cadillac CTS-V is a great example of getting the best of both worlds, serving as a practical companion during the week and turning into a track-day weapon on the weekend.
Pros Supercharged V8's powerful acceleration World-class ride and handling Superior support from optional sport seats
Cons Ride may be too rough for some Tech interface may frustrate Small trunk Less luxurious cabin than those of competitors
The 2019 Cadillac CTS-V is arguably the greatest American performance sedan ever, and we will miss it dearly when it's discontinued after 2019.
Pros Immense power Supercar-like moves Raucous exhaust note Sharp steering
Cons Last-generation fit and finish Poor crash test scores
The Hellcat-powered Durango is all-new for 2021. However, the hugely powerful SUV is only scheduled for a single year of production. While the company pulled a similar move with the highly hyped and limited-edition Challenger SRT Demon, we hope strong sales and enthusiast interest will prolong this devilish Durango's life.
PROS A three-row SUV with 700-plus horses, as quick as a 797-hp Hellcat Challenger, surprisingly deft handling for its size.
CONS Precipitous price tag, miserable fuel economy, omnipresent supercharger whine can get annoying.
PROS Stupefying acceleration and speed Excellent infotainment system Theatrical exhaust sounds
CONS Novelty can wear off in day-to-day use Frightening fuel consumption Still feels outdated
Pros Large touchscreen tech interface is one of the best in class Strong V8s provide exceptional towing ability Real off-road capabilities with 4WD and low-range gearing
Cons Fuel economy is below average, especially with the V8s Many of the latest advanced driver safety features don't come standard Bigger and bulkier to drive than rival crossover SUVs
