I'm waiting for it to get an insanely fast Nurburgring track time.
Then I can laugh at both the Cadillac and BMW/Audi/Mercedes/Lexus fanboys when they try to defend their own favorite cars.

You do make a good point.
But, Motor Trend ___ of the year isn't anything to brag about for any manufacturer anymore, since they'll just hand out an award if they think a car deserves it. Usually it's something new from a manufacturer, like the Motor Trend Truck of the Year Toyota Tundra...I'm sure the Lexus IS-F will get one too (which is actually a Lexus I'm excited to see/hear)
It's got alot of horsepower.
However it is a bloody cow, if we can bash the GT-R for this, we can bash the CTS-V. Also...it does not look good, honestly. Interesting car though.

So?
The GT-R is still faster

I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
Hey, we're just being loyal to the Queen... and stiffing her on a gallon of milk.
Actually the octane ratings are different for a good reason. There are two good ways to measure octane. Rather than just settle on one or the other as Europe did, in the US it was decided to combine the two numbers to get an average value. As such the octane numbers are 100% scaleable. Two test samples of fuel may have the same rating using the RON method but not the MON method. As such the two fuel samples would have the same rating in Europe but a different rating in the US.

My only motivations for choosing this over any of its German competitors is that it will likely depreciate to my means quicker, and it comes with a manual.
I need someone to explain something to me.
I can see a lot of american V8 lovers are also fanatical about manual gearshifting, I'm not understanding the attraction when you have 1) unlimited torque everywhere in the modest rev range 2) meaty, clunky shift quality.
On a sporty Honda or something where the powercurve has significance I can understand it, I bet an Auto NSX is not quicker around the 'Ring than it's manual equivalent.
Horsepower wins races. Torque pulls trailers.
