oohhh pick the sand outta yer vag. The CTS-V is a better car, regardless of when it was made. All that matters is right here, right now (song lyric from fat boy slim). You beloved german automaker failed at producing a car that would beat the V in the same category this year. Its not like they didnt know it was coming...On another note, i imagine the M5 will get a boost in HP and such soon to again reclaim its crown.
