Not to resurrect a really old thread, but saw this:

Gushing.
The stat that caught my eye was speed through the slalom. CTS-V? 46.2 mph. E46 M3? 46.0 mph.
FWIW, the article gets one thing wrong--comparably equipped, the CTS-V is actually about 3K less than a new E46 M3. CTS-V message boarders are reporting that some dealers are backing off MSRP now, as well.
Anyone who thinks I am not getting one of these hasn't been paying attention.
