You are right on the money. The BMW I've been driving is many laps ahead of any Cadillac or Lincoln. It is a 330xi and the suspension and steering alone are world class in it's segment. The same money would have gotten me a sub par product back in 2006. Comparitive reslae today proves it out along with the best handling car Ive driven. As I've only bought US cars up 'til then, so I was blown away by the build quality, precision and satisfaction of this car.
 
Wake me up when ANY US car beats the engineering of this package and I will bite again. Sadly, I have a long wait.
 
Put simply, make cars that blow away the rest of the world like the military equipment. Please!

If you can buy a Caddy, you can do better in a Bimmer!

repeating a broken record doesn't make it any more true, and even the Edmunds and C&D people have given kudos to Cadillac, so there...

Expectation of hack writers to espouse the truth is no more closer to it than Fox news or its ilk with the topic of the day...

I myself have always said that Detroit should beat the competition's next generation vehicles before they even launch, rather than beating the current generation (which will get old anyhow). My next car by the time I will be purchasing one will be a Alpha RWD Cadillac BTS with a 3.6 in the next 5 years. If it's not available by then, I may just go for the next gen Ford Focus instead.

I'm just surprised by the controversy, though I have to agree in some cases.

The truth is the truth. GM Ford and Chrysler are not the best.
 
Sorry!

Again, That gut knows reality. Simple as that. No need to complicate things. Go shopping and stay blind or see the light.

Thre has been a lot of discussion about the upcoming Caddy smaller than the CTS. I wondered how they could place a Caddy at a price below the CTS but now that we see what the 1 series is priced at my earlier premise will probably prove correct. The CTS will probably move up in price a couple thousand to $37k (selling gonzo at $35k base) and the smaller car at $30k or so.
 
In driving our sporty blue 135i, the questions I heard a little too
   often were, “How much for the car?” and “Thirty-seven…what?!” ($35k base)
