Ok maybe more like towing. Wonder what the X5 lap looked like. ![http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/09/01-m5-trailer-630.jpg](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2010/09/01-m5-trailer-630.jpg) [ATTACH=CONFIG]16178[/ATTACH] > **[Spy Shots: BMW M5 prototype gets towed off the 'Ring](https://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/03/spy-shots-bmw-m5-prototype-gets-towed-off-the-ring/)** > > BMW M5 prototype gets towed home – Click above for high-res image gallery ---

I am sure it will be a sub 8 minute lap after the latest CTS-V shout out ---

So… is this thread a dig at the M5? Or a plug for the CTS-V? 😉 ---

Both were on autoblog a couple post apart, I saw one after the other. I found it funny that Caddy didn’t take a shot at BMW but basically acknowledge that BMW and others had provided the ground work to build super sedans. I think Caddy knows that BMW will beat their time but states that they will only get better which is exciting to see an OEM not backing down from the HP war to save a couple mpgs. ---
