I like those big, fast, 4-door saloon cars. CTS-V, M5, AMG Merc. 0-60 speed is fine, but it's nice to travel in comfort and safety well into triple digit speeds. You may never actually do it. . .but it's a nice option to have at 2am on a Monday morning between, say, Austin and Stillwater.
I wanted one since they came out in '09. I'm not a fan of the V2, so I budgeted and saved and sacrificed and paid......cash. I'm a huge fan of Dave Ramsey. Time to "live like no one else". And yes they make the sedan in manual transmission, I think there are two on eBay now. Mine's a 6 speed auto.
