Trust me, when people have to choose between power and space, if space is important, power never wins.
And as such the comparison is silly, because the M56 was designed for somebody who needs a bigger car.

I don't need to trust you, for the most part we agree, BUT those who buy 65k cars usualy own more than one vehicle!! If they are in the market for a luxury sport sedan than the CTS-V pwns the M56. To take your car to the track (like the M5) and the kids to school or coworkers to lunch (like the M5), than the CTS-V fits the bill, you are correct that the M56 has better rear space though. I have seen the dual nature of the M5 (track/street), the M56 I doubt would hold up on the track very well, even the video showed that, I don't think it even comes with a manuel transmission. I can only speak about the few M5 owners I have met, knowing them they would skip right over M56 and never even consider it.
