Its impressive no matter what but after seeing the pics I still like the looks of the M5 more. I find the edges of Caddy too sharp. Not bad tho for the price.
But "Overall, still victory to the CTS-V, but just" Haha the CTS-V won in every catagory, 0-60 0-100 and 1/4th mile... too bad... Now lets see some turns... If I recall the CTS-V was just as good... in turns...

If you really love BMW, you would never buy a Caddy over a M5. I dont care how fast it is. The only factor in my opinion would be cost. Id drive a 550 sport all day before I drove a CTS-V...

Another of my partners just bought a 2010 CTS-V. Holy hell that car is fast. RUTHLESSLY fast. Inexplicably fast. I have driven many, many cars and it is the fastest I have ever driven... by a bit.
Anyway, i have the opportunity to buy a 2010 6-speed manual CTS-V, brand new at a price that rivals what i paid for my 535 AND GMAC is offering 0% interest FOR 72 months. FREE money for 6 years on a car that pretty much trounces the e60 M5 in EVERY measurable category. Not to mention the fact that I can buy it at probably a $40,000 discount to the f10.
My wife thinks im nuts, because she loves my e60 and thinks its a "prettier" car. I agree. The BMW is a better car, but DAMN.

The only reason a cts-v is faster than a E60 M5 is because,BMW sets the benchmark . It took some years for GM to catch up if you will. When the new F10 M5 comes out it will take GM some years more to catch up. Again a true BMW enthusiast doees not consider a GM to replace a BMW. WTF !!!
