BMW and Audi have sized themselves out of my preferred size range, and with the even larger new C and upcoming B9 A4, I really don't see much choice for reasonably sized four doors with three pedals. If Caddy can just get their engines right, and work a little more feel into the manual box (and add the ubiquitous 8s ZF), they should win a lot of sales. A 2GC would go a long way towards getting my interest back in BMW sedans, but I suspect it's a long ways off.

I forgot about Infiniti, a brand I used to think best understood how to compete with the 3er, but they've just gone off the crazy French deep end.
Have you actually seen and driven the new Q50? Its a fantastic car...
