Yeah pretty much. Without access to its interior or the driving experience, the rest of the car is meh. I think I may prefer the CTS-V over the M5, but I'd really have to drive both to get a final opinion.

They were doing shakedown runs with the CTS-V's at Spring Mountain when I was there, in preparation for a large demonstration for a bunch of South American auto dealers.
The new cars got the diff's hot FAST, and they were very quick. That is about all the instructors said about them. They really liked them other than the diff's, which may have been just part of break-in, but I have heard they run hot. I considered CTS-V Coupe...but the ***...and I live in the south, and I just couldn't deal with the steriotype that car has around here.
