Again, no one has answered me, why do you need 300+HP in your normal daily driver.  Good heavens, my 200HP Camry will go 100MPH (probably).

CTS-V Stationwagon with 556 HP.   I want one, too bad its a GM product. 

So it'll never happen,  In 1985 I bought a BMW 325 through a BMW/MB/Buick dealer and they arranged GMAC financing.
I was 5 days late ONE time and they ragged me every month to see if I was going to be on time for the next 36 months
in a row.

I'll never spend a dime directly with them.

Perhaps one day I can find a non ragged out used one.

Only decent replacement for the Magnum Hemi R/T, which the Mopar idiots stopped making,
I wanted an SRT-8 the next time around.  Bummer.

I looked at the MB wagon a couple of weeks ago, 240 hp.

and the sporty one isn't imported into the US at all and the CLS SW may not be either and anyway,
the price for that thing is ridiculous for what's a work car for me ( 25K a year ).

Mike, this has nothing to do with your car!!!  But, my question is why is there such a to-do about horsepower in modern non-sports cars?  The carmakers fall all over themselves to show that their "Camry" or whatever has 300Hp; or 400Hp; or 500Hp!!  The Cadillac CTSV has what 5-600 HP.  Who cares!  Who you gonna race at prime traffic, stop&go time!  -Bill
