if you want performance you might want to look at the new cadillac CTS-V it has 400 HP its a V8 corvet Z06 engine. i think 0-60 it was 4.7 sec and it handles better than an M5 the price of the car sould be $47K http://www.imakenews.com/autospies/e...e000144018.cfm

You have to be joking about suggesting the man should buy the Caddy, right? While the numbers look impressive, it's STILL a caddy with all of the wonderful inherent GM reliability issues.

Mercedes can't really call out other manufacturers on reliability right now, unfortunately.

But again, we're talking about a paper car. And where does that article mention the M5?

I don't see this doing very well for Cadillac. Their demographic are AARP members and rappers...neither of which buy fast cars.

First the SL "killer" and now this...best of luck to Cadillac. More competition benefits the customer.

Im not arguing but come on its not like bmw and mb are reliabil. and i might be wrong but i think the CTS is a german designed car i know the cadillac catera was a german car it was made by opel a german company and the z06 engine is a very good engine. Im just saying that he should look at it because it dose have inpressive numbers and a nice $$ price. and i would like to say this again Im not here to argue

Xpeed

thats true but i guess they are trying to change that image

both the s4 and c32 would be a great car overall. there was one motor mag ..motortrend? that did a comparison of the 2 already the c32 was faster in the 1/4 but out of the hole the s4 was ahead. testdrive ofcourse

Comin from an a6 2.7T I have no choice to be a lil bias. I loved that car and still do. I have been reading nothing but good things about the S4 but coming from the audiworld forums it's a given. I haven't driven the S4 so can't say anything but on paper I have read that the C32 is a little better. All I can say is test drive jus my 2 cents

in motor trends comparison test between the new S4 and the C32 the C32 came out both quicker to 60 as well as 1/4 mile.

C32 v S4
4.77 v 4.99 0-60mph
13.24@106 v 13.44@105

The S4 does handle better in the slalom with 68mph. C32 ran the slalom with 67.3mph
