This is shaping up to be a huge class contender. Even if I had the money for an E550, 550i, or S6, I think I'd throw my wallet at Cadillac for one of these instead. It's a hell of a looker.

Also, does anyone else see Lamborghini Veneno headlights?
The 5 series isn't a lightweight either.

The new 2014 CTS though is quite a bit lighter than the 5 series. This new CTS V-Sport is 400 lb. lighter than the competing 550i.

The front end of the new CTS is very good looking. The rear though is bland.

Don't really disagree with this, but the CTS-V is not 'comfier', it has the most uncomfortable seats I've experienced in quite some time. Standard or their Recaro's.

If your self-esteem needs to insult the new CTS so you can feel good about the F30, by all means.

News flash cars do not have feelings. Try and get some rest.
