I wanted to know how well you thought cadillac (namely seville and deville) stacks up against the competition, that is, other luxuary cars. Here is a brief list of cars that i thought of off the top of my head, and all these are assumed to be latest model unless otherwise stated. There is going to be many cars with higher price, because i think that cadillac can compare with these
Lexus LS400/430
MB S class
Lincoln Town car
Audi A8
Jaguar XJ series
BMW 5/7 series
Infiniti Q45
Lexus LS 400/430
These are just a few that i have thought of, please include more if you think there are.
Overall, i think a cadillac is very comprable in the area of performance, although there are some where it is faster and some where it is slower. As far as comfort, I think that there is almost nothing better than a cadillac. Sure, there will be other "conveniences" (like power headrests and pointless stuff like that) in other cars, but overall comfort is second to none. The only thing i see them lacking in is build quality, although i have to say that they have improved over the past 5 years or so. I think that is what seperates them. Back in the 80s when cadillac made their "turn for the worst", I think that took a lot off their name. If you want to be known by what you drive and you have money, they see that in a lexus or BMW moreso than in a cadillac.
m3 is nothing but a 3 series with engine and suspension. According to you, if the cadillac came out with an sts that can handle well and have gobs of power then it will be considered a sports car when in fact it's merely a luxury sedan tune for some more fun. What about Audi RS6 station wagon? It handles like a dream and it has 450hp from factory, is that a sports car or a sporty car?
I stand by my statement that M3 isn't a sports car but m roadster/coupe is
weren't they the one that declared m3 as the winner because it had backseats and z06 won every single test conducted(title of the article was about performance ).
Anyways, I wonder if they can make the same comparison with the newer z06, where the new z06 produces more power in a lighter form

I think the problem/issue is that the M3 has no competition in the Sport Coupe category. Plus, no one in mid-life crisis is thinking that a sport coupe will help them look better with the girlies. So they have to call it a 'sports car' to get the old guys interested!
I think the Mustang Cobra and the Pontiac GTO, at least technically, are the M3's real competion.

They're coming guys. That's for sure. Holden has them in the pipe and I'm betting Lutz is already figuring out which brand will get the first version of it. I'm betting on Chevy but it MAY be Pontiac.
