  1. The car and the video is so good I came back a day after to watch it once more. Importing US cars to Europe makes it quite expensive to the point where Corvettes for example are considered a rather exotic sports car here in the eastern part and some solid spec Escalade is $50k+ more expensive than brand new high spec X7/X5M or $30k more than RSQ8, but if I ever got to the point where I could comfortably afford importing some US cars, this one would make the list together with a C8 Vette and a Viper, preferably ACR. I've been in love with red CTS-Vs for a while now and although I prefer it's looks over the CT5-V, I would take the CT5-V over it every single time now. To me it looks like it's already more popular than the CTS-V, I bet the parts will be more accessible in the future and the option to get the manual is just a cherry on top. I'm all for automatic transmissions in daily commuters and the CT5-V would be a lovely one for that but one thing I do not care a tiny bit about when it comes to all the sports sedans & wagons is the launch, some sprints times and precision. This is why I no longer have interest in the Germans such as RS6, M5 or E63 because if I ever were to have my pockets so deep that I'd buy a boat of such size as a daily commuter, I wouldn't care about the precision and ability to beat basically every single thing from one light to the next one. The fun factor on the long way back home is the thing that matters to me. RWD + 6 speed manual in a nearly 2 tonnes American yacht with far over 600hp on board seems like a perfect choice that ticks all boxes for me (almost... I wouldn't want to drive it in winter if that was my only car though). Absolute beast and I'm in love with every single inch of it.
