That one doesn't have the comparison in it, it just talks about how they'll publish it on the 25th. Full article here:

Nice read.

The CTS-V has come a long way. Unfortunately for mortal men, so has its price.

I'm going to take a wild guess, everyone at the BMW boards are saying how R&T are anti BMW.

And, it's still $20k cheaper than the M5.

But, don't fret, mortal men will be able to afford one in a few years anyways. Cadillacs have crappy resale value. Even the fast ones.

dont forget its a 3 year old m5. im sure the next version will be even better. not trying to take away from caddy as they have really improved their image over the last few years. they tore up the tuner challenges when they first came out.

Yeah, BMW has had 3 years to perfect that model.

And how can R&T be biased towards caddy? They brought their own driver.

Track times don't lie.

I don't think MSRP has been announced yet.. has it?

All I could find with a brief search were rumors of a $62K starting price. That's pretty good value, right in C63 AMG territory.

Rumor is that the next BMW is a 3 cylinder hybrid.


Is 500hp not enough? At some point, manufacturers are going to have to cut back. But for now, you can't really speculate on the "next M5."

I don't know if it's been announced, but GM always seems to be right in line with the "rumor MSRPs."

It's a killer value. Cheaper than buying an old CTS-v new and supercharging it.
