Comments on: Video Review: BMW M5 vs. Cadillac CTS-V http://www.bmwblog.com/2009/04/27/video-review-bmw-m5-vs-cadillac-cts-v/ News And Rumors Covering The Auto Industry Sun, 21 Mar 2010 23:22:59 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Peter http://www.bmwblog.com/2009/04/27/video-review-bmw-m5-vs-cadillac-cts-v/comment-page-1/#comment-149233 Peter Thu, 03 Sep 2009 19:55:39 +0000 http://www.bmwblog.com/?p=12851#comment-149233 I will add, to my previous comment... You know why I own a Land Rover when they are known to break down alot? Because I CAN. To me, class is more important than reliability. If I wanted a reliable car, I buy Lexus. In my LR, I am noticed the moment I arrive. People are not afraid of a drive by shooting when they see my LR (Escalade anyone?) Plus, I do not care if it breaks down! I make a phone call and the dealer gets me a Rover in minutes. Try that on a Cadillac. Think about this, the CTS-V is faster than an Aston Martin.....hum, which one would I pick though? Again, it is called the “Price of admission” . It is the same reason Augusta National Golf Club exists, separation of the classes. The CTS-V is a wide leather seat in COACH Class. Sorry, I pay the extra and fly first class. I am sure any State University has the same education level as an Ivy League school,…Still, I know where I am sending my kids!. It is called..CLASS. The M5 and CTS-v are not on the same class. You get what you pay for.! I will add, to my previous comment…

Narrator's voice bugged the living s**t out of me though! Sounded like a cheesy dealership ad or something! Can't really argue with the results though, but then again as the video hinted at and others have said before, these cars are two very different animals. Either way, we'll see what the F10 ///M brings to this fight, especially since Cadillac's V is on hiatus (at best).... Yeah it was a good video.

There really aren't enough car review shows on TV here in the states, and the only one they seem to import is Top Gear whose reviews are highly 'editorial'. Supercars Exposed has fantastic cars but doesn't ever go into their driving characteristics. Supposedly the guy from that show will be on the american "version" of Top Gear. @Bobo: It was, and I agree, they typically aren’t.

Such a BRILLIANT review! Usually American video reviews are not quite good and sometimes plain boring (no offense) but one was perfect. WOW! Such a BRILLIANT review!
