maybe there's some overlap.
although the overall performance of the CTS-V might eclipse that of a M5,
I just don't see anyone cross shopping between the two.
I see an M5 driver more concerned with the car being a status symbol than anything else.
Most M5's that scoot around here in Los Angeles, are driven by mild mannered middle aged drivers.
CTS-V prob caters towards a limited niche in the among performance enthusiasts, not unlike the M3, IS-F, c63, RS4, etc.
Prob more of halo car than a money maker.

CTS really is a 5 series competitor size wise. People cross show the 3 Series with the CTS though because of price. The CTS undercuts the 5 Series price wise by boat loads.
GM knows they really do need a true 3 Series competitor though and have been kicking around having a car on the new Alpha platform but the economy has slowed down the release of it. I've talked about this car on here countless times.
