And some say the same about BMWs, especially Porschephiles and even some Mercedes fans.
Cadillac has come a long way, and now they're offering a 668-hp sedan in a manual. Let's see BMW top
that.
And GM engineers have built cars with an excellent chassis over the last 5 years using the maglev shocks, so their Vs tend to handle really well too, as they're quite balanced.
I actually think performance wise, manual vs manual, the V's may outperform the new Ms - dollar for dollar. The CT5V is more akin to the new M3 in dollars (once you option them equally), not the M5...and that makes the CT5V a compelling alternative.
So then it will come down to interior quality and aesthetics. I think the Caddies look pretty good, but I'm not a fan of the interior. But anyone that is, I think the Caddy will go toe to toe with BMW's new M models.
