The strange issue with the CTS-V is what is its competition - the M3 or M5? I would think the Seville STS-V would be M-5 territory, but...
My order:
1) CTS-V
and C63 AMG - I like both cars very much. However, I think both cars are very different.
2) M3-four door - this, really, is a no brainer. A good solid track record for over 20 yrs. 4 doors helps. But why 2nd place? Because I see so many around town; they're as ubiquitous as the Mini Cooper S.
3) G8 (the performance version - whatever it's called). A dark horse, but I like this car too. The $$$ difference would be the final determiner.
What should be remembered for any one of these cars is two years from now on the secondary market, they'll all be a third less. That is the time to pounce, IMO.
