bullshit in my opinion

Anyway, I hav read quite a few reviews where ATS kills F30 in the performance/handling area, where BMW 3er ruled for decades... |

It's good that BMW has tougher competition. (I don't think Infiniti and Lexus will just sit back either) It'll be like a reality check for them. They better make a fix if they wanna keep the 3 series as "the 3 series." Last edited by MattMD; 11-27-2012 at 09:28 PM.. |

It sppears that Cadillac has come up with a car that is a legitimate competitor in the segment.

Their auto tranny is their Achilles heel. Have a much better unit, and who knows, the tables might be turned. Or at least it'd be even closer.

I saw the same thing. Interestingly enough, supposedly MotorTrend did a review of just the BMW vs. the Cadillac (no Mercedes) and the BMW won... quite odd.

I think it has to do with what's important to you (the car magazine reviewer).
That slants your view of which is better. Both cars apparently approach the "sports sedan" concept slightly differently. The BMW--more power, bigger, bit roomier, a bit better cruiser. The Caddy--essentially an e46 with a craptastic automatic transmission and a somewhat underwhelming engine.

Or BMW will just continue down the Audi route.

i just read the article and all the comments, i think just the fact that they said the caddy steered and handled better made me put it on my test drive list. hopefully the ats-v will be available when my lease is up, i cant/wont drive an auto. i just dont like the direction bmw is going in, or any other auto maker for that matter, im not a fan of electric steering, i dont like the electric throttle my e90 has.

Biggest surprise for me: trunk volume of the F30 is 17 cubic ft. The Caddy only has 10. So the Cadillac handles better while the MW is cushier and has a bigger trunk. How's that for crazy? I'm going to put on some white sneakers and head down to the local Denny's for the early bird special, who's with me?
