Yes, but I beg to differ the results. Maybe it's because I fav European and Japanese cars over American, at least for the last decade or so

I will say that these cars are close enough in performance that if you don't look at the money the deciding factor really is just your own personal taste

Hasn't the BMW M5 been out for a while?
Cadillac had a car to compare to and build on...
In my opinion BMW is doing well competing with a car developed after it was developed

I'd love either car though

I only focus on one thing, I am not going to spend $40,000 more for a BMW, especially when the CTS-V looks better and IS faster than the M5.

It's only 40,000USD more for local Americans. BMW is king of the road. The M5 is a beast, I almost wet myself the last time it flashed by me on the highway.
