Prowertain
The 3.6L naturally aspirated V6 makes 355 hp and 284 ib-ft of torque and moves this car very well. The power delivery is smooth with 0 to 60 time around 5.5 seconds.
The GM 8 speed transmission shifts smoothly and seems to be in the right gear most of the time. At times there can be a harsh 3-2 and 2-1 downshift that seems out of character for a luxury car.
Interior and switches

The MSRP on this CT6 was around $68k.
