I hope GM is looking forward and not just at the current model year 3-series...by the time the ATS comes out, BMW will more than likely have already leapt ahead with a new 3-series and GM will look like an also ran before they even start one up.

For instance: GM's CTS-V barely beats the current BMW M5 on the track and in a straight line...however, BMW is launching the NEW M5 already and it will most definately leave the CTS-V looking like it is stuck in park. Twin Turbo V8 with a projected 578 HP, 530 lb-ft of torque, 0-to-60 in 4.4 seconds and 188 MPH top speed. (the V-10 in the current car is 507 Horse and 390 ft lbs) .

GM USED to lead the world...now it follows. And it drives me nuts.
