I agree, and have been saying it for a while:

-Just over 500 hp
-New CTS interior (minus the wood)
-Automatic optional
-Under $60k

Huge Winner for Cadillac.

It doesn't need 600hp to win the paper race with M and AMG- it needs proper suspension design and gearing so it can launch properly and beat them in a heads-up comparo. In order for these cars to take off, people need to see MT and C&D raving about the interior, acceleration and handling. Cadillac doesn't quite have the street cred to outprice MB and BMW yet, but if they do this one right it will go a long way.

More peak HP won't accomplish anything if the price is too high or the axle tramp isn't fixed.
