Hey I never said anything about it being bad because it's American made. I drive an American made truck and we also have an 07 Escalade so I'm definitely not a hater. Honestly I'm somewhat biased TOWARDS American cars. It's nice to see the locals do well and if I had to see one car maker be a huge succes it would unquestionably be GM.

I was already convinced the CTS would dominate it's competitors, and maybe my hopes were just too high, but I would honestly say the (new) A4, any 3 series with the premium package, and the IS have a nicer 'feeling' interior. Keep in mind I've spent more than enough time in each one to make an informed decision and I echo the advice to actually see it in person before you make your judgments from the pictures alone. It really is quite different when you're actually sitting in the drivers seat. Not bad.. just not AS good (but damn close).
