The LTZ is just a Malibu with the CTS engine crammed in there, and then made EVEN CRAPPIER than it already was by detuning it by another 50 horsepower. A 3.6L V6 generating 250 horsepower is pretty lame. I mean I guess if you give a small car a 250 horsepower engine, it'll probably manage 0-60 times in the 6 second range, but in this case it's still a Malibu, just with a monstrous chunk of metal out in front.

Ugh. There are few cars I loathe as much as the Chevy Malibu.

Well no it isn't detuned... the engine is the regular 3.6 that is also standard in the CTS, but the CTS offers as an option a 304 hp model with direct injection

Nope. Not even those.

I don't care if your faster, I don't care if your cheaper, I don't care if you hate it. It's a frigging Camaro and a blast to drive!!

What it comes down to is German autobahn engineering vs. the outdated American brute force approach. Don't get me wrong, the CTS-V is one heck of a machine, I've driven the previous model and it was pretty dang fast for a Cadillac. The BMW just has that level of refinement and european flare that the Caddy doesnt. If it was between a used M5 or a new CTS-V, I would take the Bimmer- but thats just me. But the big question "When you turn your car on, does it return the favor?" Thats for ya'll to decide.

No, it cuddles me into relaxing leather, blows AC air to my ass and back and quietly purrs.
