If the M5 isn't a competitor to the V2, I would like to know what is. The size, purpose, and available features common to both is so close that the two are pretty much different interpretations of the same car.
The newly refined V is very much in the company of M, RS, and AMG.
IMO Lutz (ex BMW guy) made the V2 expressely to suck the doors off an M5 and steal its customers.
Absolutely no question whatsoever - the CTS V comparison target has been, and will continue to be, the M5 - speaking of which - the bet has gone to $1000 on the M5 board.
Indeed it has.. $1000.00... BMW is surely at that stupid "ring" RIGHT NOW and they won't leave UNTIL they best the CTS-Vs time. So 30 days is plenty. Or, they're NOT at the "ring" and won't be until the NEXT M5 starts testing... So I have no doubt I'll win that bet if he takes me up on it - which he won't. The CTS-V is a better performing car than the M5 - and the sooner people can admit it, the better of we'll all be.
My favorite quote from this forum's "My Cadillac's penis is bigger than your BMW's penis because it is cheaper" debate... T Bone "You will have better luck flipping Lexus people....probably similar demographic to would-be Caddy owners."

This guy reposted my earlier comment almost word for word, so who's the closet M5 owner here?
My E60 has M5 wheels and it may not be a twin-turbo xi.
Where is my Vader packaged AWD V2? What the hell, make it a LS9. I'll pay extra.
U da man, Sal. Can't wait to see his response.
