I think it looks cleaner since the grill is painted black. It gives it a more contemporary look instead of edgy which is what a regular CTS is and it makes it look less flashy. As i understand it the model we are looking at comes in about a year maybe two so it should be grown into people's mind by then. The wheels are so-so i personally don't like them, they wouldve done better had they stuck with the 17 chrome ones available now... the lights have gotten darker as well but the slope of the car makes it look mena for some reason giving it a M5 profile, while satying away from "fat" that plagues the M5... (it looks heavy) the M3 as well... but this CTS looks more agile from the pic. Probably looks way better in relay life though... can't wait...

The 5 spoke SS rims would look pretty good on it.

According to carpoint, the M5 puts out 394HP, 368lb/ft, and weighs over 4000 pounds compared to the CTS's 3500, even though the Caddy is slightly roomier.

If the CTSi really does put out 370+HP, it should out-perform the M5, provided it can handle comparably. And, it will do it for 20 grand cheaper.
