Why get all worked up? It's a form a flattery that they like to compare against the BMW. I can't remember how many times someone came out with a "BMW killer" for either the 3-er or 5-er and year after year it's the same story.

Cadillac is still a GM pos, not a refined Bimmer... however the new cts-v gave the m5 a good run, and bang for buck its unbeatable...
The CTS-V is not f*cking around. It has the fastest production sedan "ring" time for a reason.

Actually the CTS-V won the two comparos against M5, I have read. Faster 0-60, 1/4 mile, braking, skidpad, slalom, laptimes.

I actually really like the CTS, especially the V. If I ever bought an American Car I would buy a CTS.

BMW is a drivers car.
Caddy is for Russians or old people.

"Is it a BMW", no, it just performs better than a BMW.

I would much rather drive a car that is bursting with class.
The CTS-V has class. But come on your talking about a BMW.
BMW = THE PERFECT MATCH OF CLASS/STYLING/PERFORMANCE

When I think of American cars I think of misguided application. SUVs with independent suspensions, V6 engines, sport cars with solid rear axles, 3-4 speed automatic transmissions, and the list goes on. I realize the CTS isn't in that category but the Lincoln LS is still fresh in my mind of recent 'BMW killers.'
