I can't see the video here at works, but would the cars are 12 models. if so the Mecedes is now running a totally different turbo engine compared to the 6.2 NA that was in that test against the CTS-V. the new turbo (5.4 I think) is wuite a bit quicker, especially with the new power pack. I know The XF got a nice refresh for 12 and is supposed to get an additional 40 or so HP and an 8 speed auto sometime next year. I still love the CTSV, but it's performance advantage over the others is quickly disappearing.
