BMW are really something else but i will never give up my ls1 anything for one. Even as torquey as the m5 and m6's are, they just dont have that muscle car feel that we have all grown to love.
i want to try out the 335d's, they are supposed to be pretty torquey for a 6.

M5 torquey? Powerful, yes, but torque is not their strong suit.
335d is a diesel, it should have tons of torque.
CTS is the size of the 5, priced like a 3, and cannot compete with either one directly.
3 series is your primer sports sedan, and while the CTS is a great car, it just too big and heavy to fight it directly.
The 5 offers too much over the CTS, from interior trim options to powertrains, its just a super higher class car, but the price dictates taht.
Not untill the ATS shows up, the CTS will remain a "tweener"
