What will you do with your M5 F10 when M5 F90 is now available ??

Is the CTS-V really that bad? It never gets mentioned.

If you look past the design elements and lack of fit/finish quality and lack of optional equipment, the CTS-V is a fantastic drivers car.

Enjoy the F10 for 3 more years. There will always be something better, but I keep cars until they no longer make me smile.

I'd say once F90's hit 70k I'll be tempted. IMO same car, but it does solve that ever-present traction issue.

The e63 just never did it for me visually. Deal breaker.

X5M, RS7, M6GC would all be on the list as well.

Next Generation Audi RS7 is rumored to have 700hp. Keep that in mind too.

Yeah, mine’s a daily. I wanted to go for an S65 but I’ll have the same traction issues I have now and you can’t really hear the V12 muffled by those turbos. The best part of that car is the start up whine whether the engine is hot or cold.

The CTSV just has a silly interior. I liked the old one, I definitely would have bought one if it was similar to that.

Good call. The V12's will be Maybach only going forward making the S65 very desirable (IMO), same with the M760 which is the ultimate sleeper.

This!

Porsche means business. BMW M is getting diluted and its time to move on to better things.

I still think the F10 looks better.
