Having driven the current crop of "super-sedans" I'd say yes, this car is that impressive. I'd rank it at the top just above the RS6 as a complete and ferocious package. The M5 would be near the bottom of the list - its tepid V10, sloppy design (interior and exterior) and pathetic SMG transmission proves it to be the most lackluster M car ever released. Well done Cadillac.

The M5 is 5 years old...And has sold more units than all CTS models combined. This car is not even close to the RS6, and it's not even in the same category as either the M5 or RS6 or E63, it's more like an M3 RS4 or C63 or IS-F. Personally i would put the RS6 at the top, E63 next, M5. This car is a 82,000$ engine, that all it has to offer, it has a decent stereo system which you can never turn up past half or the doors and dash will rattle, leather feels cheap, has absolutely NO metal accents inside, all cheap chinese plastic that has been painted to look like chrome or aluminum. So far i have yet to see a GM product where i cannot spot the trunk being off centered. They still have the same problems as they have always had, they create on paper an amazing car, but when it comes to assembling it and materials they cheap out and end up with a car that looks good in renderings or in real life from 20ft.

It's too expensive for GM to make it RHD so it'll be LHD. They would have to change alot of things which equates to an expensive bill

If that's the case then they won't sell any over here. How manu Corvettes do you see on UK roads?

The CTS-V has always been a damn sharp looking sedan. This one isn't here to play around, it definitely has an edge so far. Low price, great performance and IMO, great looks. It brings new meaning to the term..."Caddy".

Well, hardly any Bristol but like Xanavi23 said, it's has a low price tag and it's powerful so it should sell "well"

If im not wrong buyers of this will save at least 20K and thats very conservatively speaking. In times like these, price counts when you have a car with more hp.

I love the look of this caddy i would take one over an ugly RS6 any day but deciding between this & a M5 or E63 would be a bit tougher. But at the end of the day the Caddy's combination of looks and grunt would be unbeatable not to mention the sound of a S/C V8.
