+1 to GM

They built two amazing performing cars with the CTS-V and ZR-1. The CTS-V has the fastest ring time for production sedan. The ZR-1 did it in an amazing 7:26.4.

They both are very comfortable on the road too, with their magnetic ride control.

Even Clarkson loved both cars on Top Gear. Usually he has absolutely nothing good to say about American cars.

Talking about efficiency a lot of plus power but a little difference with the M5. Great car for a brand associated with people that call it "We be toys"

... and the Recaro seats are amazing), and you have a pretty convincing all-around vehicle in this class.
LOL reading the article: "Even more surprising is the interior. Trimmed by the people who do the Bugatti Veyron, it is ? and you won?t believe this ? a nice place to be. The seats are by Recaro, the leather is hand-stitched and the graphics don?t appear to have come from Amstrad circa 1984. You would swear you were sitting in something European."

So let me get this straight. Jeremy made a big claim here, that the people that rim the interiors for the Veyron are the ones that did it for the CTS-V. AND ALL HE COULD SAY IT WAS "a nice place to be"??? I mean come on, i expected biblically, epic or their such adjectives. So after all this "praising" of the interior and how well the Recaro seats are stitched and all that stuff he says "You would swear you were sitting in something European" Like what a Renault Formula 1 edition Clio or Megane?

People are often attracted (myself included sometimes) by the low price for what it promises to deliver. The same can be said about the Corvette but i think in the end something has to give since we live in a world where economic principles apply.
