Lag is undetectable in my GTI unless I'm under 1200 RPM or so.

That is a great car.  The engineering is exquisite.

The GTI is the best car I've ever had overall, fun to drive, good mpgs, pretty decent room inside, more comfortable than I expected for long hauls ...

I did like the CTS except for the wheels and tires.  It's gas mileage wasn't great and it had a stiffer ride than one might think.

Ohhh, max towing on the supercharged V8 is only 8,700 lbs?  I'm assuming that's more a matter of which body/chassis they're putting it into, and not the engine itself?

I'd guess it has to do with over heating as much as anything, but it could be chassis/brakes/braking/gearing ... tires?  Your 3.5 L is cream of the crop here, not only for towing.  Note that the 3.5 L hybrid has more power/torque and a lower rated towing capacity.

We've chatted before about how a hybrid Diesel might be a great combo.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY: 

Ransom E. Olds (1864)
Olds was a pioneer of the American automobile industry and the namesake of the Oldsmobile and Reo car brands. After developing an internal combustion engine and incorporating it into a car, he opened the Olds Gasoline Engine Works. In 1899, he moved to Detroit, formed the Olds Motor Works, and designed and produced the popular Oldsmobile. With its low price and stylish curved dashboard, it was the first car to be produced in quantity.

To be fair, 9000 lbs isn't all that heavy.  My BIL's 5th wheel weighs something like 13,500. His Ram 3500 can easily handle that without breaking a sweat.
