Default I pick the 300 (or Magnum). Seems to me the Mercedes hardware is MUCH more sorted out than Caddy.
Only downside is the lack of a manual tranny.

After reading about rear wheel hop problems on the Caddy, it reminded me of a quote I heard soon after the Daimler/Chrysler merger. The Chrysler folks were said to be relying on the "rear wheel drive expertise" of Mercedes. It really seems to be paying off in the 300 and the Crossfire.

Oh, and the Dodge/Chrysler is about $20,000 less, so I get the Magnum Hemi and a used Miata!

CTS-V. The 530 hp I could get with my extra LS6 parts would help me deal with the cheap interior.

Default If I had to choose...
...between Miss Piggy and Bart Simpson's mother, well, I think I'd become a priest.

By analogy, in this case I think I'd get a bicycle. HPH

If they can't get 350 HP to the ground, what would 500+ do for you?

Midrange power, top-end pull, coming out of corners. The V is no street racer and wasn't meant to be

300C if I had to choose. CTS-V is a bit cramped and I AM SICK OF SHIFTING IN NYC!
