Checked out a few cars yesterday. Just for fun.
First went to look at the new Infiniti Q60. A very wonderful car it turns out. GM has nothing that competes with this car. The ATS coupe is not in the same league as far as the interior and overall refinement. Visibility is much better than a Camaro too. But it suffers from two problems the Camaro has. No rear seat leg room and if you can believe it, a smaller trunk. Golfers need not apply. I did not get a chance to drive it though so a full impression could not be made. But it is a very nice car in the showroom.
Second went and looked at a Cadillac CT6. I'm a sucker for a full size sedan these days. This may be the most wonderful car GM has ever made................but it doesn't feel like it. Tons of features and tech available and very comfortable. Did take a test drive and it just...........wasn't........ right. Our ATS feels more taught and buttoned up on the road. And for some reason the trunk! It's far smaller than the SS. Where the SS can swallow a golf bag sideways between the wheel wells the CT6 can't. A really great car. But doesn't "feel" like it will sway a MB or BMW buyer to me. But I would be really happy to have an AWD 400 HP sedan in my garage and for the price of a CTS V-sport you can have a much nicer car in most regards. I hope it does well for Cadillac. Now with that rumored 4.2L TT V8 under the hood...........
