Surprising conclusion. Especially critical of the BMW.

The Caddy without a doubt for me!
My favorite car in this class

PS: That comes from a person that never saw anything good in a Cadillac model... until now!

Nostalgic for me. When I was a kid, my dad sold them (60's and 70's). They sure were boats back then, but they had style and a little cache to boot.

It will be interesting to see how the CTS re-design goes. They really need to improve their drivetrains to truly be competitive.

Oh, of course. I wasn't talking about classics
The 60s and 70s are long gone now and generic design is here for us

I will say I sat in all three cars at the auto show in Miami a couple of weeks back. The ATS interior is actually for the most part very well built and nice materials. The C class is solid and the BMW wasn't bad. what was TERRIBLE was the X1. The XI had hard hollow plastics everywhere. When I mentioned it to the BMW reps they said "so as you drive you are going to be feeling and knocking on interior of the car?" I didn't even bother to answer. The X1 was one of the most poorly built interiors of a German car I've been in.

Funny. But to be fair, MT,R&T and most of the other (if not all) American magazines have been smitten with bimmers forever.

CTS is coming to Europe this time so its just matter of time before we see comparisons. But intial reviews from Europe are promising for Cadillac.

Pfft... Spare me of this hypocrisy. In the end the 3-series still is the better car. Cadillac will be dead by the end of this decade.
