Nice read, and great ride to have in the stable. For all it's flaws I think that wagon is going to keep a tremendous value. I felt similar when I drove a friends CTS-V (though his was an auto/sedan) that it felt much bigger and the auto made the whole thing feel softer and sluggish than I'd expect. I also didn't think I could live with the tech on a daily basis anymore.
The new Caddy seems like it's fixed a lot of those problems at a bargain price compared to the current M5. Just hope they don't pull it out of production in 2 years for weak sales.
