Good win for Cadillac and their V-Series models. Some pretty impressive performance numbers from the GS-F. The Audi looks too plain Jane next to the Caddy and Lexus.

Powerage: With Luxury Sport Sedans More Powerful Than Ever, These Three Bridge The Gap

It’s not much of a stretch to say the horsepower wars have gotten a bit ridiculous these days, especially when it comes to big luxury sport sedans. In the early 2000s, cars such as the Audi RS 6, BMW M5, and Cadillac CTS-V made 444, 394, and 400 horsepower, respectively. Nowadays, their descendants churn out 552, 553, and 640 hp. So what are enthusiasts to do if they want a luxury sport sedan without the impending fury of 640 hp a toe away?

Thankfully, a handful of other cars fill the gap—all with badges signifying some of the performance potential of the top-of-the-line models but without the price tags, fuel economy penalties, or inevitable domestic squabble after you’ve gone through your third set of tires in just as many months. These three “compromises” represent two of our old favorites and one newcomer.

From the article it sounds like the GS F with an adjustable suspension with a Comfort mode may of edged out the CTS VSport. As it stands, reviewers loved the GS F, and the performance/ fun to drive factor was tops. Still 2nd place ain't so bad for a first effort.

I believe it stated in the article that if it wasn't for the price being so high the GSF would've been first

Nice write up on the GSF Saw a USB one on the road a couple of weeks ago in NJ, Looked and sounded fantastic.

RNM GS3

For that money - I would get a Charger Hellcat or even the standard SRT.

Out of those 3 - GSF is my pick.

GS-F is really good at what it's intended to be. However, they need to step up the next one to finally compete with real performers in the segment.
