  | Road and Track - Comparison Test: 2009 Cadillac CTS-V vs. 2010 Jaguar XFR                                  Different wrappers, same creamy filling: a supercharged V-8 and rear drive. When a Cadillac CTS-V and the brand-new Jaguar XFR arrived at our offices, it was obvious a proper road trip was in order. But not just any old road trip would do. We needed to take these two pinnacles of sports-sedan-dom on an epic adventure, somewhere they could stretch their really long legs. After all, the CTS-V and XFR pack some serious heat, armed with 500-plus-bhp supercharged V-8s, suitably stiffened and electronically adjustable suspension systems, big brakes, limited-slip differentials and properly sporting interiors. Since a run up the RV-bogged California coast simply wasn't going to cut it this time, Road Test Editor Jonathan Elfalan and I packed our bags, grabbed our sunglasses and iPods and headed northeast toward Utah, in search of wide-open spaces, beautiful scenery and incredible driving roads. A few scorched tires and a couple of speeding tickets later, we found all of the above. Plus a new super sedan king. 2009 Cadillac CTS-V - Points: 384.9 2010 Jaguar XFR - Points: 375.4 Full Test: Comparison Test: 2009 Cadillac CTS-V vs. 2010 Jaguar XFR M

| Wow a double victory snatch for the CTS-V over the XFR in the same day! I never realized how similarly styled and therefore looking these two vehicles really are!
