Replying to: sls002 (Aug 19, 2008 6:14 am) I am not beating up the CTS...after all, GM has to start somewhere and the CTS is a great start. Now make it become an extension of your mind and there you have it! Sans edginess, I would be in one. The G is more inviting to me as 3-series alternate, however. Regards, OW

Replying to: circlew (Aug 19, 2008 8:29 am) BMW's primary design goal is to make their vehicles the best for ride and handling. GM is trying to build vehicles for everyone. When you try to build vehicles that most everyone will want, some compromises creep in. Cadillac is either going to have to focus on being the best sports sedan ever, or they have to be the best luxury cars. Mercedes does not have the best sports sedans, but Mercedes does have some odd vehicles that are very good. I think Mercedes has out done BMW's M cars. |

If you want a Driver's car, get the BMW. If you want a Luxury car, get the Lexus. If you want a cheap luxury car, get a Hyundai Genesis. If you want an American near Sport Car, get the CTS. If you want an American near Luxury car, get the DTS. CTS = Acura RL If you want it all, get the Mercedes. That's just how I see it, YMMV. |
