Also most Cadillac dealers are much nicer than regular Chevy dealers. My local Cadillac dealer is known for very good service and treatment of customers. Not like BMW's don't depreciate either and don't have some bad dealers as well.

I test drove the F90 M5 back to back with a C7 Vette and it was far from "numb as possible", quite the opposite. The consensus, of the 4 of us that drove the F90, was that it was scary fast. There was a GTR there that my buddy, the owner of the C7, drove and he was still dumbfounded by the F90. I didn't know the GTR owner well enough to drive. it Will be purchasing a F90 after winter. C7 was great too. |
F90 is fast, but in my opinion, the engine and exhaust don't have much character, the steering is hopped up on novocaine and while certainly capable, its limits are too high for street use, and a large amount of owners outside of forums will rarely track it and the engagement and handling were just okay. Great on the straights, okay in the corners. The CTS-V has a much more engaging and communicative chassis, as does a C7 Corvette. They may not be as fast in a straight line, but I'd give that up for a better handling vehicle.
