Default Clarkson loves the CTS-V... openly

The manual version I drove will hit 191mph. And it accelerates with a verve that truly leaves you breathless. It also makes an utterly irresistible growl. Like an AMG Mercedes but more refined.

And now you are expecting the “but”. But there isn’t one. Maybe the steering is a bit too light, but other than this it handles beautifully when you have the Ferrari-style magnetic dampers in “sport”, and rides soothingly when you switch the knob to “comfort”.

Even more surprising is the interior. Trimmed by the people who do the Bugatti Veyron, it is — and you won’t believe this — a nice place to be.

Sadly, Jeremy Clarkson didn't know that Ferrari's magnetic shocks are made by Delphi, which was formed by GM. So it should be that the Ferrari has a Cadillac-style suspension.
