I'm sorry. That's not the right Caddy to compete with the 3er and C-class. I think you meant this:You forgot a car:

Here in ireland the top 3 are BMW, Merc and Audi, then maybe saab and lexus. I've never seen a Cadillac near where i live, but there is some, and have definitly never seen an infinite anywhere in ireland. Do they not make right hand drive cars?
As for the passat all the ones available here are front wheel drive, which kind of puts them in a different class, although i know they are the same size.
TophaticantYou know what was kind of depressing YSS?
Today I saw my first new CTS that was good. It looked awesome in white IMO. One problem: It was BILLOWING smoke out the pipes.... I almost cried. The test driver was completely oblivious to it apparently and continued to drive along as if nothing has happened.
But I still think the rankings go as such:
1.BMW 335i
2.Cadillac CTS 3.6 DI
3.Mercedes Benz C350 Sport
4.Infiniti G35 Sport
5.Lexus IS350
6.Audi A4 3.2 Quattro
7.Lincoln MKZ
But I really do like the MKZ.... Its just not as good.

The IS350 also has:Yep. Because the IS350 is...
1.RWD
2.Has a better back seat (IMO)
3.Looks better IMO.
4.Is a fair bit cheaper than the 3.2
5.Is about as reliable as a Camry

The IS350 also has:
1. Undefeatable and highly sensitive stability control (VDIM).
2. A slushbox only.
3. Undefeatable and highly sensitive stability control (VDIM).
4. An interior of lesser quality.
5. Undefeatable and highly sensitive stability control (VDIM).
6. Lesser driving ability than the Audi before you're met with the Undefeatable and highly sensitive stability control (VDIM).
7. Poor driving manners; with a poorly damped suspension, slow-to-react paddle shifters, poor ride and numb steering.
8. The Audi is as reliable as an Audi. Which trumps "reliable as a Camry."
9. Oh, and Undefeatable and highly sensitive stability control (VDIM).

Toyota fan:
But, but, but you CAN defeat it! You just have to do a gazillion things that are a pain in the ass and then it will maybe work...
Hm, by comparison here's my list based on using those you choose as a basis...
1) Infiniti G35 sport
2) Audi A4 3.2 Quattro
3) Merc C350 sport
4) BMW 335i
5) Lincoln MKZ
6) Cadillac something-or-other
7) Lexus IS-whocares-50
You guys are awsome. Thanks for my daily laugh. Tor, that was a brilliant post.![]()
Well, I dunno about that. Lexus has proven, if the previous generation GS was any indication, that they can make a marvelous handling and riding sport sedan and then proceed completely murder it with electronic nannies like Mercedes used to do.Although, we seem to all agree that the Lexus and the Lincoln bring "teh sux" for the most part.
Eh? The Lincoln MKZ above the quite excellent '08 CTS? No matter how wonderful the new 3.5L V6 is, it by no means makes a "Fusion in a tuxedo" MKZ better than a purpose-built sports sedan...
My picks:
- BMW 335i
- Cadillac CTS 3.6 DIG
- Mercedes-Benz C350 Sport
- Infiniti G35S
- Audi A4 3.2
- Saab 9-3 AeroX (based on hype alone!)
- Lexus IS350
- Lincoln MKZ (afterall, its still a Fusion)
Again, the Mazda 6 will not be on the Mondeo platform when it is redesigned, according to both Auto, Motor und Sport and a few websites. At the very least it is no longer the sure thing we thought it was.With the move to the Mondeo chassis by the Mazda6, I assume the same for the Fusion and the MKZ in the semi-near future, although, Ford is really good at screwing things up, so you never know for certain...
Sorry for the double post but this deserves to be said:
During this weekends episode of top gear the BMW M3 beat the Mercedes C63 AMG by over 5 seconds, around a track in spain, all three of them agreed that the M3 was by far the best car but Jeremy decided that he would rather buy the C63 AMG because it was more "insane"!!
You know the Lexus ISF in GT5P (the demo) seems to be alot like the C63, its too powerful and heavy. Is it out yet in real life?
Lexus IS350, Infiniti G35, Cadillac CTS (not in that order).
No sense looking at either of the overpriced, bloated vehicles named in the title of the thread.
