The guys put the Cadillac CTS coupe against BMW and Audi to see if GM can compete on the German's home turf.

So true this is an amazing design. It gave me the same wow that the first cts provided in the early 2000's, nothing looked like that car. And all these years later the coupe has proven that it has its only special place in history. I wish the ATS was closer in design to this.

I have had a 2011 high performance 3.6 AWD Premium 6 spd. auto for a year now. I added black chrome wheels, red caliper covers, Cooper Zeon RS3-A tires, an Airaid cold air in take and a Borla exhaust. We've always had SUV or trucks for camping and fishing. It's just my wife and I, we just retired, and love this car. We get complements on it all the time. Looks great, sounds great and fun to drive.

Hey question for you, I have a 2012 AWD Premium coupe and have had issues with the AWD on an SRX same year with aftermarket wheels. Did you use factory black wheels, how is the vehicle holding up? I want to add black chrome wheels to mine but don't want to mess with the offset and ride height because of the AWD system, what did you use? Thanks for your time.

@AlternativeUses - The CTS-V is aimed more at the BMW M3, which means it's also up against the Audi RS5 - a car we don't have in the US... yet. Those are all 400+ hp monsters with price tags around 70k. This group is all in the 300hp range, and in the 50k range for price. That's why we grouped these guys together for this comparo. Thanks for watching. The BMW piece is a few weeks (not months) away. ;-)

I've driven Audi, BMW, Lexus, and I have owned this car in black for multiple yeas and it is a luxury muscle car. I got rid of my mustang GT to get this and I used it as my all year round car> It has the best AWD, the car gets looks and compliments every week. It is stands out from other cars. I NEVER got compliments on the Beamer or Audi..why? Because they look like every other car. I love this car. I will keep it as long as I can. To those saying it is ugly...I don't get it. But, I guess in to each their own. I think it has a great ass. I'm a 58 year old woman with class. I love this car.

We hope you watched the entire comparison to see the results and understand our reasoning. But, as we've stated before these were the top versions just below the high performance models (The M3, RS5, & CTS-V). If we included the A5 we would have needed a lessor version of the other two models as well.
@EverydayDriver13 жыл бұрын
@aceHADOKAN69 - Sorry to bring any confusion. They have 3 variations of the CTS. The base price of the high-end version we were in (Premium) starts at $47,000. The one we tested had options on top of that. You are correct, you can get into the CTS coupe base for $38,000, but it's pretty bare... it doesn't even have a full leather interior or bluetooth, for example.

I bought this car and I like the drive feel of it. Its perfect for people who want a two door but feels like they are in a sedan. Also if you are tall there is a switch to drop the seat down closer to the floor and you have your head space. Im 5 9 and have a 34 inseam for legs. the leg room is great. Hes right it never has that rockey feel. You could be doinh 75 and feel like you are swaying on an idle boat.

@asdfgoogle - Great catch. BMW pioneered the Sports Sedan segment with their 3 series - and then proceeded to make the 3 in every other variation: Convertible, Coupe, and Wagon. So, while they are all offshoots of the same major idea (Sports Sedans) - we are specifically focused on the Coupe part here.

The problem with Audi and BMW's is that everyone has one and they all look the same except the higher end line. Very boring if you ask me. This wins by far the best looking car award for 2011.

I think a lot of the reason why it is such a heavy car is because they are quite new at this and they finally have made something that can compete with the others. They will get better as times goes by and the platforms will lighten up. How come you guys didn't add In the Infiniti G37 IPL. I think it is a strong contender to the 335is with its beefier suspension and 20 or so more horsepower and a starting price of over 47k. Could you guys do a comparison between the G35 coupe and g37 coupe?

I stand up and applaud Cadillac for offering this with manual transmission. Unfortunately I may never drive one as it is way out of my $ league. Well, maybe a used one someday. If the Dodge Charger Hemi came with a manual transmission it would be my must have. Base price in Canada right now is $40,805 v6 auto $3,000 rebate applied. To get a manual transmission? $70,825 rebate applied. Ok, I'm sitting down again.

@c0nv1ct1337 When the CTS platform was launched in 2002, it was intended to compete with Mercedes E class and the BMW 5 series. Over the years, these cars have grown as have their smaller brothers whereas the CTS has remained relatively the same. Today, the E-class and 5-series are much bigger which is why it's usually compared to the Mercedes C-class or the 3-series BMW, although it's still a little bigger than them....except for this coupe version, maybe. Btw. the Audi S4 is just as expensive.
