thats the joy of owning an american car!

depends on what bmw you compared the cts.

I always like the american car because its much more easier to find a shop that can work on your car compared to others. Also, its much easier for a DIY guy. Also, parts are cheaper. Ask the dealer hor much for a 5l40e transmission that goes on your caddy and then ask the bmw dealer for the same transmission.

Cost of insurrance is cheaper (in montreal though) 850$ a year full + hotel + chemical products delivery + 50k miles a year for my caddy fully vs 1600$ for a bmw 3 series of the same thing.

Also, and that one I'm not sure about it, since the CTS has a new body since 2008, I guess the previous generation took a drop + whats happening in the economy.
