Automobile Magazine Comparision of e90, G35, CTS in August issue
I read the previous thread of Road and Track review of E90 where there were a lot of unimpressed posts and even a few praising the G35 over E90. Just got a chance to scan all the car magazines last week @ Barnes and Nobles and came across the comparision of the E90, G35 and cadillac CTS in Automobile Magazine. And the winner is ................ the E90. G35 has the best bargain, best 0-60 in 5.8s, but E90 has the most rewarding driving experience, the best lap times on the race track (although straight line 0-60 in 6.1s). Cadillac is getting better but still needs a lot of improvement. Damn! when can our American cars beat these imports? Anyway, in the end it all comes down to what matters to you: handling, styling, prestige and power. Magazine reviews are helpful but could be subjective.  | | Reply » Automobile Magazine Comparision of e90, G35, CTS in August issue |
I have not driven the CTS so I cannot speak about its driving characteristics but I recently finally sat inside one and man is that thing @#*@&( ugly.
I mean, I am one of the people who sorta likes the exterior design on the new Caddies but the inside of that CTS, wow. I wouldn't pay a cent to sit in that cockpit.
Anyway, good to hear confirmation of what we already knew. The E90 is still king of the road. Or its class anyway

I agree the interior of the CTS is just overall poor (you can tell it's american)

I browed this issue while at the mall the other day. Good results overall for the E90.
Funny remark that stuck in my mind is that they called the E90's turn signal lever "idiotic". I think these reviewers feel that they have to say edgy things here and there and with such strong authority to give the impression of confidence and competence.

Personally I like the new turn signal operation, specially the single tap for three blinks to change lanes.
