#6 of 15 What about...? by sabastian Dec 03, 2008 (10:49 am)
I understand IL's logic in including the C63, but if you are going to test one of the smaller sport-sedans (that compete closer to its price point) against the CTS-V, why not include the M3 (which already beat the C63 in a comparison test). Sure, throwing the Caddy against two BMW's would have seemed odd, but I've seen the IL editors explain there way out of much weirder pairings (R8 vs Cherokee SRT-8 anyone?). The normal CTS has been compared with the 335i, so why not in this instance?

"So there you have it. My favorite wasn't even in this test." Neither was mine. I'll take an M3 sedan with 6-speed manual.
#8 of 15 nice try by thom2 Dec 03, 2008 (9:02 pm)
Nice try to boost GM's reputation when the company is about to tumble. Looks like GM wants to do some back door dog barking to save some face, but unfortunately no one is buying it. Replies to this message: aintmisbehavin (Dec 05, 2008 6:43 pm) thom2 (Dec 06, 2008 7:21 am)

Too bad they can build a car that will out perform your Euro sedans without breaking a sweat. Go Caddy, maybe that is why they are winning everything.

Replying to: lovecars5 (Feb 06, 2009 6:03 pm) I burst out laughing when I read draw007's post. Accusing the Caddy of being overpriced when comparing it to a MB, a German Chevrolet that's optioned out for the U.S market then priced for the gullible??

Toyota should follow the C63 and stuff V8 the Corolla, then MBZ would have a car to compare to. C63. The Germans won't even use that ridiculous little car for a Taxi. LOL
