Yea it's probably really fast, that's super. I'd still rather drive a 10-year old M5 than some chromed-out plastic-filled box........That interior is just horrific...pop-up nav screen = FAIL

Edit: The F10 M5 will have chunks of this car in it's stool when it is released by the way. Love it or hate it, I'll take the twin-turbo BMW V8 8 days a week.....

Will they be building CTV's 4 years (or 3 years from now)....it clearly is a great car...but GMs commitment to the program is very tenuous..

Also....where was the challenge in 2006 when the E60 was released...

Yea, call me a "fanboy" that hurts. I will say I have actually driven a CTS-V for the better part of a day and can firmly say that the M5 is superior in almost every way, as is the AMG.

Drive, handling, interior, seats, transmission are all lacking in my opinion. The fact that they put some turbo action on a big V8 is not exactly awe inspiring.
