The CTS-V is just another masterpiece that proves that we are more than capable at producing a world class car.

I still (currently) admire and respect the E60 M5 the most as the King of Sport Sedans despite what reviews say...

I would like to see a test of all 4. In past tests the M5 did a 4.1 0-60 so its performance can match the best of the new ones. We all know the M5 handling is there. The M5 does quite well for a 6 year old body style.

I can't wait for the F10 M5 as well. Everyone will miss the V10 but the market demands the torquey V8.
