Once you get your hands on a supercharged 556-horsepower 2009 Cadillac CTS-V, you know that you need a 500-hp 2008 BMW M5 with which to measure it. It's a matter of practical science.

Of course, there's a sizable price difference between the $59,995 CTS-V and the $86,675 M5, and we don't want to get our comparison results skewed by mere money. Maybe we should add the 507-hp 2009 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG to our science project. Trouble is, this Merc's $86,875 price tag still doesn't put the CTS-V under any pressure.

We had a better idea. We opted for the more nimble 2009 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. This compact sedan cranks out only 451 hp, but it weighs almost 400 pounds less than the E63, and its base price of $58,075 rings up about $2,000 cheaper than the CTS-V.

Is the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V a true benchmark in the super sedan category? Measured against the pure performance of the 2008 BMW M5 and the value of the 2009 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG, we knew the truth would come out.

@brightsun11 i think american cars are simple, yet so complex! I like however italian and english cars, but i just can't stand the german cars!

[brightsun11]

@alabalabanana i am not going to lie i still need a europen car. oh and i have one. american is just for sport

[alabalabanana]

@brightsun11 european cars are useless just because of the excess of the material that you don't need....like wood and other stuff...IT'S TOO MUCH

[brightsun11]

american cars are coming up in the world. 2011 mustang gt just as good as the bmw m3 and cadillac cts-v beating the bmw m5 and they are a lot cheaper to. oh the bmw m5 f10 is coming to cost what 100 thousand. the cts-v cost 70. m5 f10= dumb. cts-v=smart

@maestroadam no they aren't. cadillacs are plasticky and cheaply built. they have no class.

[maestroadam]

@Scudeyyy uh.... Euro cars are not nearly as reliable as Cadillacs. Your facts are incorrect.

[Scudeyyy]

@manuel21863 European cars are more expensive because they aren't filled with cheap plastics, would be much more reliable and no where near as vulgar. If you want to save money than good for you, enjoy your cadillac or whatever but showing everyone that you've saved money by driving one aint cool.

@Thebmwisthebest they also cost A HOLE LOT MORE than that carr u see in the review.... thats why GM is making a comeback cuz ero LOOSERS pay alot FOR alot less
