Popular Luxury Cars on MSN - MSN Autos

Here is a link to an MSN Autos article of the most researched luxury cars on MSN. Not surprised to see the benchmark BMW 3 series & aging 5 series (which I have still not adjusted to the styling after all this time). The redesigned Mercedes-Benz C-Class that I did a test ride review on earlier. The all new Cadillac CTS, a car that has fantastic styling ques, but I'm still not sold on the build quality. The Acura TL, a Honda accord in a tuxedo with astronomical torque steer. The Lexus IS, well.. just so little to mention about this car that I'll leave it at this... it's probably reliable. The infinity G35, hmm.. I have always been a Nissan fan.. but I'm sorry.. if I offend any G35 owners, I can't stand this car. The obnoxious drone engine noise, the cheap silver painted plastic trim parts....I have driven the older coupe version of this car and just couldn't stand it. I really wish Nissan would revert back to their old quality control standards. And finally the bread and butter Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and techno showcase Mercedes S-Class. Basically your standard Luxury car shoppers list. Although I am surprised Audi didn't fall on this list somewhere. Without a doubt, when the 2009 Audi A4 is released, it will hold a spot all it's own!

2008 Cadillac CTS Review - MSN Autos

2008 Cadillac CTS Review - MSN Autos

As a follow up to my first thoughts on the 2008 Cadillac CTS I posted earlier.. Here is a link to a good first review from MSN Autos. It seems GM is finally catching on and developing suspensions from testing on the Nurburgring (first was the new Corvette Z-06). The base 3.6 liter V6 engine in the 2008 Cadillac CTS pumps out 263hp with a beefed up 304hp direct injection version available.

The more I read about this new Cadillac CTS.. the more excited I get! I'm really interested to see the CTS V version that is sure to follow. Cadillac seems to have really done their homework with the 2008 CTS, but how it will stack up against it's European rivals remains to be seen.
