According to GM marketing (for what it's worth) the ATS-V with a manual hits 138mph in 15 seconds. By comparison Car & Driver clocked the M3 manual at 130mph in 15.6 seconds. I'll await independent reviews to see if this acceleration advantage holds true in the real world.

I was just looking at some Caddys and I was a bit shocked at the prices, I'm a bit out of touch on these. My first thought was I can get a Beemer or MB for that much and in the long run it'll hold value better. Am I right in this assumption? I checked on Autotrader and frankly there aren't a whole lot of used Caddys in the area as we are heavily saturated with imports in Vancouver.
I do know that in my previous career working with European cars they were stupid expensive to maintain so it may be better to take a hit on future trade in and spend less on up keep. Anyone here have first hand experience to share in this?

Dollar for dollar, feature for feature the Cadillac is less. There are however some features offered by the Germans that Cadillac doesn't offer. Not to mention huge negotiating potential with Cadillac right now as inventory is piling up.
