| M5 for sheer sexyness, comfort and performance. However, for modding out, caddy is cheaper for more horsepower. I almost purchased a CTS-V, but the cars had some inherent flaws in its design regarding suspension and balance. Similar M5 to CTS-V (modded or not), M5 would own it. My opinion.

| A buddy has a CTS-V and it's a lot of bang for the buck. However, heard they tend to have drivetrain problems over time. The M5 is way more refined and about 100 X more beautiful

| I guess the V's are having problems with tire wear. Tires are shedding at 10000 to 15000 miles. some have gone 20-25k miles but most owners are complaining about it. Must be those suspension geometry issues I mentioned earlier.

| I've been for a very nice ride in an 06 CTS-V 6 spd, being a muscle and bimmer guy I was actually very happy with it. Thankfully my buddy owns it so he showed me what it can do not what a sales man wants to show you. Although even after going for a spin in one I would much rahter have an 01+ M5, which is what my plans are now, no more caddys

| The CTS-V is no slouch it even handles, on the other hand M factor is M factor , i guess it depends on how many garages you have . For me at this point a M5 would fill a dream , I have never dreamed of owning a ax murderer caddy hahaha |

| silly....just silly..... The CTSV is a great car. It obviously has the HP, for the first time EVER a Caddie that handles a little, and its not a complete eye sore. The price is good. BUT there is nothing....NOTHING on earth that could make me buy an american car over an M5. Thats not a diss on American cars either, I just don't think you can top BMWs refinement, performance, or the way the car drives. M5 for me...but the CTS is still a great car.
