It's just 4 tenths of a second faster than the 5-series and 8 tenths faster than the E-class to 100km/h (62mph). And the Merc has a much higher top speed, 236km/h (147mph) versus 225km/h (140mph).

Interesting information.

I would however disagree that 4 tenths and 8 tenths is not much faster however.

The surprising thing is the vast disparity in fuel economy.

Isn't the CTS gonna have a diesel engine in the future however? It almost seems vain as I think it'll be hard for the Caddy to get the cachet that the other two companies have.
