Looks and styling aside, I have a bad feeling that the Caddy will eat the M5's lunch. It is much harder setting the bar than it is to beat it. Here is what I am thinking....
Car is lighter which should make a big difference. The M5 just feels like a big heavy boat which goes fast in a straight line.
With GM's Electromagnetic shocks, I have a feeling it will provide a superior handling. There are more and more supercars licensing this technology from GM.
Horsepower. With GM's massive engine department, they can easily grab any major HP block and put it in this car. GM has always made huge horsepower and I don't believe that BMW will be able to keep up. BMW just does not have the fleet or the size to build one off any more.
Hopefully the next generation 5 series does not get even bigger and use the weight savings they are planing to justify the larger size with similar or slightly lower weight.
