Nice article in Car and Driver
Just got my new Car and Driver and saw the CLS55, STS-V and new M5 shootout. M5 is abit quicker than i thought it would be. both the CLS55 and M5 pulled a 4.2 second 0-60, and the M5 pretty much kept putting up better numbers afterwards. quicker 0-100, 0-150 and slightly better 1/4 mile time. the STS-V, although still very quick, falls behind both. interesting article, you guys should check it out 
Also tested the Dinan S3-R M3. 0-60 in 4.4 seconds and 1/4 mile in 12.9. not that impressive since a few other articles I read compared this coupe to the 911 turbo, but they do mention that the outside temperature was 100 degrees at 8 am and that the car should run much quicker in cooler weather. price was just under $100k, without better tests, i don't think i can justify that amount of money difference.
