Really? I am surprised. You must be getting the blue rinse Audi drivers in your neighbourhood. Not representative of the whole marque....  Seriously, I find most S4 guys drive pretty fast - though not as overtly or in-your-face as those reckless teens driving integras with fart can exhausts prowling up and down Westheimer where I live ...

The CTS-V is an awesome car. Saw the silver one in person at a local dealership, really has strong road presence. The combo of that LS-6 and such a fundamentaly good chassis (The V6 CTS thing beat EVERYTHING else in this month's R&T comparo, including the new 5-er and the E class) that it basically 0wnz j00 8)
And for the record, there's a CTS in Milwaukee (my home city) with a Buick Grand National motor in it that runs 11's in the 1/4 mile. Very impressive car

I have the article in Gm High-Tech Performance about that car, they end the article with the question does the owner have more balls for tearing appart a 40k brand new car, or dropping a 15 yo motor in it. Lol either way hes pullin a 11.42 at 121mph, on a full 1/4 track not a lame 1/8th track. 436ftlbs torque, and 419 hp, and the guy claims to drive it often. If you guys want ill try and scan it. Either way a hot caddy.

Along with the cts-v chrysler is going to have it's own performance sedan. If you read this month's issue of Motor Trend it says that Chrysler will be realasing a 300 series called the SRT-8 which will have the 5.7 liter hemi bored out to 6.1 and it will be producing 425hp.

Honestly though, if you're in the market for a super sedan, you cant beat the Germans. I'm from Oz and even though we build cars of similar, or even greater power, but they still are not up to an E55 or M5.

Actually that's a stock C5 interior... and you can get one right now new off the lot for about $37,000 here in Houston - so your point being?
The "$50,000" Z06 is selling for about $45,000 at current discounts (new car price) and the interior is all black (or black and red) and quite purposeful looking.
Again, why compare a 2 door coupe to a luxo sedan?

Well RC45 its selling at 45k , but it was AT 50k , and as most American cars they look incredible shit ! , a friends dad has an Impala , a car that cost the same as a C-Class for example and the interior is simply horrible , and that is A MAYOR problem with american cars , i think Cadillac new cars are way better ...

Not quite.
An optioned Impala is a $28,000 car - the entry C-sedan is about $33,000 - a mildy optioned C-class sedan is a $38 - $40,000 car.
http://www.chevrolet.com/impala/#ss
http://www.mbusa.com/brand/index.jsp
The Impala is a generic family sedan - a 4-door shit-bucket grocery getter - sorry if anyone thought otherwise.
The C-class is a Mercedes-Benz.
No one said the US shit-bucket family cars are good lookers.
