What do you love about the Cadillac CTS-V? If you answered "the motor, duh" you can probably skip this. If you answered "the sweet Recaro seats, microfiber steering wheel and the giant V-series spoiler" then this is up your alley.
Cadillac has just announced the Touring Package for the Cadillac CTS Sedan and Sport Wagon and the CTS Coupe. "The new Touring Packages give CTS buyers access to some desirable V-Series elements, in a more-approachable format." The CTS Sedan and Sport Wagon come with either a 3.0 or 3.6-liter V6 while the coupe is only available with the 318-horsepower 3.6.
The touring pack on the 3.0 runs $2,065 and includes 18-inch pearl nickel finish wheels; dual exhaust; dark finish grille; HID headlights; V-series spoiler/tail light (not on wagon); suede seat inserts, steering wheel and shifter; midnight Sapele wood trim and metal pedals.
Add it to the 3.6-liter CTS and you're out $2,810 but you get the bitchin' Recaro seats and 19-inch polished wheels with either all season or summer performance tires in addition to everything else.
Starting price for the 2012 CTS is $36,790 for the sedan, $39,590 and $39,890 for the Sport Wagon.

Sounds good to me. Not many places you can use 550+ horses here in Georgia.

Add the Camaro or Corvette [ normally aspirated ] version
of the V8 and this makes my shopping list...

Give the wagon a manual trans. and I'm in.

Give me a CTS-V V8 with AWD, not RWD!

@transpower:
The M3, M5, C63, E63, and IS-F all revert to RWD from their civilian counterparts optional AWD set-ups. There's a good reason for this.

The most desirable aspect of this package to me is the seats . . . I'll pass.

Cool, but then again, I just finished building my CTS-V wagon. I'm glad they offer it in Blue now. Now I just need to stumble into $69,890. Or find somebody who is willing to buy one, and sell it to me in a few years. Man I want that car so bad. This package is cool for the V-6 cars though. Let's it stack up against some of the sportier German cars a little better.

I'm usually not too thrilled with strictly appearance packages but the interior upgrades make it more appealing.
