2009 CTS-V vs 2008 BMW M5

I really applaud Caddy for making such a large car handle so well.

"Monticello, New York — Un-precedented. That is the only way to describe this showdown between BMW's legendary M5 and Cadillac's all-new CTS-V. That Cadillac and BMW accepted our invitation to pick the drivers and pit their cars against each other at a neutral site for hot laps and winner-takes-all bragging rights speaks volumes to where these companies are in the sports-sedan hierarchy........"

Good read! I really like that new cadillac. If they were a little more willing to budge on the price, who knows what I'd be driving right now. That V is just a beast! Glad to see the Bimmer held its own though.

And on a side note, I'm in the wrong line of work.

I've got a current CTS-V and have to say that they were a great bang for the buck at the time... Caddy is moving upstream a bit now with the current model and really challenging the European sedans. It'll be fun to watch and we'll all benefit from a little competition.

Prev gen was fast, but the interior was absolutely abysmal. The new one has the first-rate interior to match. Bravo, GM!
