Cadillac picked up a serious task: beating the BMW 5 series. Well, as funny as it may sound, to my opinion - they've succeeded. A lot of power streams through the back wheels, just like a 530i. Strangely, however, Cadillac gives you the pure driving pleasure, while the Bavarian car filters the fun through all sorts of electronic equipment.
BUT. If style is what you're looking for, the CTS doesn't add as much as the German saloon. Cadillac CTS' cabin design is exaggerated. There's far too much plastic inside, nothing gentle or refined there. It seems like the engineers responsible for making the car's chassis did a great job, while Cadillac's boss forgot to tell the cabin designers: 'Hey, Cadillac has changed strategy'.
Lastly, I must admit the outer design is stunning. It's impossible to drive this car without making some innocent necks hurt...
