I think both will release tunes with more output within the next year and then top off both their lines with boosted V8 models to spark the M vs V wars.
In case there's any question of how GM is positioning CT5, as well as whether or not there really is a CT4 (still a few non-believers) here is a slide Cadillac showed the press (courtesy of AutoBlog).

That's good info, Martin. Still, I don't see the point of positioning cars in a segment that appears to be dictated by BMW and calling a dog TT v6 a performance option....Segments aside, compared to what could be in the CT5, its a gyp. Any Cadillac shopper can see it's not worth it.
