Nothing top about this reviewer; he’s a winey little bitch.

John Ward you are the one wining lol

Gawk gawk gawk

True. I found one in my area but it got snatched up after 3 days. Didn't even have time to head to the dealer to check it out.

it rare took me 6 months, but I finally found one.

You poor ogre...

Saw that a...

Same I’m trying to figure out if I should get a 550i an s6 or the ATS sedan

Totally agree. The gauge cluster does not match the rest of the car. Like you said, they need to take the LCD for the CTS, but make it standard on both models. It looks like it belongs on the car from the early 90's.

I sat in an ATS coupe at the autoshow and even though the exterior being so boring was a big turn off (why not just buy the sedan its more practical) the interior was a nice place to be. I would say based on rumors if you are interested in getting an ATS wait until model year 2016, rumor has it that when the next generation Camaro comes out it will debut with the new 2.0T engine and new 3.6L N/A engine. No doubt this engine will also replace the current 2.0T and 3.6L engine in the alpha ATS. I would also expect the 8 speed auto to replace the 6 speed auto at that time, only other thing is that yes the gauge cluster does looking boring. I think it is interesting that both the Lexus and Cadillac entry in this segment both have engines considered to be decent but not really up to the task in this segment. Honestly if you could get an ATS coupe with the 3.6L engine and a 6 speed manual then that would be a hard car to pass up on.

Yes they even kept this terrible gauge cluster in the ATS -V!!! but changed the cluster in the CTS-V. .terrible just terrible

Lexus has a pretty cheap looking LCD instrument cluster

Can you say "UNDER $40K"? I knew you could..... To get a V series for under $40K and be eating lambos and hellcats for breakfast in a ALL STOCK care is unheard of.

Good for buying used!

Cadillac says the connection is more stable and secure by using the car's WiFi signal. You'll be able to stream video or download files much better and the car will allow you to pair up to 6 devices.

If this has an external antenna then it will get much better reception to prevent data dead spot areas that are noticeably terrible to deal with when streaming audio. Lots of places I run into where it goes from 4g to 3g then 2g because of poor signal strength. Interior of car acts like a faraday cage. Would want to see some real world testing before speculating on this too much though.

They've stopped production of the cts coupe. Sedan is still going strong. No word if the coupe will be brought back for the new generation

Oh okay. That makes a little more sense. Thanks for the clarification lol

***** Yeah there won't be a coupe variant of the current gen CTS, the ATS coupe is the spiritual successor they're even developing a ATS-V coupe

I've heard Cadillac is going to drop this whole XTS, CTS, ATS, CTS-V, V-Sport, etc., naming convention and go to numeric system, a la BMW, but the top would be "6", not "7". No idea when it's going to go live.

+David C Schlesinger Been saying the same thing for years. Plus the wreath and crest why change. they have been losing sales due to terrible marketing and hit and miss fit and finish.

***** I don't disagree with your point. However, if a reviewer simply states things like, "the steering is nicely weighted and responsive", "the brakes are strong but feel spongy", "there's minimal body roll", "there's a fair amount of body roll", one would certainly think that a prospective buyer can get an idea of what the car is like. There is no need to continually name the 4 or 5 cars while commenting on each and every aspect of the car. At the same time, if a buyer uses reviews to determine a buying choice, then that's just a bad buyer. Personally test-driving cars before investing thousands of dollars is obviously the only way to make a true, right choice.

***** Not trying to be disrespectful, but that doesn't even make sense and, frankly, it contradicts your initial response. Sofyan goes into significant detail on his reviews (which is what I appreciate most from his work). Probably the only things he doesn't discuss is paint quality, LOL.

Ryukachoo God no. It would ruin the car.

Protector of the Republic how so? it's punchy, torquey, and the smoothest powerband you could as for. all the weight is really low so it corners flat, and the motors are pretty small so you can get really fancy with your suspension

Ryukachoo It's gutless, loses range like fuck, it's very heavy, it's suitable only for appliances, it's soulless, ruins handling and you can't get more fancy with suspension than GM's magnetic ride control. No thanks! It would make the ATS weight as much as a Ford F-150 and handle like that crappy Tesla.

Protector of the Republic you ousted yourself as having never driven a tesla by calling it "gutless"

Ryukachoo The Nurburgring time exemplifies its gutlessness. It's slower than a Ford Transit van.

DancinRandy54 i like this car a lot, you are right on that part though.

Bright Ivan Agreed. Big disappointment 3 times locked up and now acting weird.

Really, well SFB's I am driving the car and I feel that it is an issue. So get back in your Pinto and see if your AM radio is still working. DF

***** act whatever the fuck you want on the internet kiddo

Because he didn't have the 5.0.

+scully He wouldnt have laughed or smiled in a 5.0 or any other stang. Its a Mustang. Lmao

Agree.

Yes, the IS350 F-Sport is a better all-around car, but its engine might be the worst performer in the segment. It's acceleration times are the worst, well behind the S4/S5 and 335i/435i, and slightly behind the ATS and Q50. Only the TLX V-6 SH-AWD is slower, but only marginally. Not sure where the S60 lands. And I'm certain the new C400 will be close to best in class.

I agree. Lexus is way better when it comes to reliability as well. Extremely easy to maintain

senorgato70 the new TLX is .1 seconds faster to 60 at 5.6 vs 5.7 for the Lexus..... Lexus needs to really redesign their engine lineup.

VTEC kick in Interesting. Best times I've seen for TLX range from 5.9 to 6.4 secs. Best times I've seen for IS350 range from 5.6 to 5.8 secs.

So what, he does an excellent job reviewing vehicles.

Albone3000 he’s gay.

Well, whatever the hell that means to you. The ATS is the driver's car in the this segment. If you're a discriminating sports luxury car buyer, you'd go for the Cadillac.

***** Actually, I've driven the 4 series coupe and the ATS sedan. I'd only imagine this car being the same or better than the sedan. The 4 series, like the 3 series, has been softened to appeal to a larger market. The ATS doesn't have as good an engine, but it has better steering, feels lighter, and is more communicative with the driver. IMO, and in the opinion of most major car reviewers, the ATS is the driver's choice in the segment.

***** No, it's softer in almost every way. Even the sport package feels soft. If you have the ATS with magnetic suspension, that feels quite a bit firmer and more connected when it's in it's stiffest mode.

***** Like I said, they want more buyers. Sadly, most buyers want more luxury than sport. Go ahead and drive a F30/32 and E90/92 back to back. BMW has taken a step in a softer direction for all their cars. It's still sporty, but not like it once was.

If driving dynamics is top of the list, then why not?
