Yes, the lack of a manual is appalling, but what's wrong with being able to take more than one friend along for the ride (comfortably)? The look is awesome, especially in Black (was there ever a car more fitting as a road vehicle for Darth Vader?) The performance is great too (have you driven one? - trust me, it's a hoot). Sure, there are faster rides, but they are also a lot more money (I'll take a CTS-V myself and watch the Germans in my rear-view mirror.)
