2014 Cadillac CTS 3.6 vs. 2014 Audi A6 3.0T, 2014 BMW 535i xDrive, 2014 Mercedes-Benz E350

White paint slathered small, unadorned cinder block structure squat during southern Ohio Car and Driver comparison test behind the pig-cracklin's-and-beer store in rural gas station service. Somehow, I never noticed this building on previous trips. It has a central glass door flanked by two small windows. All windows are blacked out. Establishing a handwritten sign taped to the door open, he said, and warned of alcoholic drinks and no smoking is permitted.

When the heart is pure, naturally assumed that some kind of sex shop for people not yet discovered the internet. Or maybe it was a Satan-worshiping sewing bee clubhouse. Or Satan worshipers might be a sewing bee costume NSA station in the clubhouse? So, sunflower seeds and Twizzlers hand, we pushed the door. Now, I have children enter Dexter Lake Club with its own history, and everyone has a moment where you want to imagine the stunned silence Animal House scene. He seemed only Otis Day and the Knights had no or dancing couples. I've discovered that you can look like a raccoon digging trash behind the garage had about 12 instead of eyes staring at us in a way. And Tuesday afternoon sun streaming through the door now, except this one-room structure, only light came from our left and right walls covered with video game machines. Finally, in the back of the room I'm standing on a small platform friendly hey, well, guys, "he called out! Come on." He turned back to the machine gamblers.

"Oh, well ... uh ... uh ... we should go with you ... ... thing."


What shows on the status of this medium-sized luxury sedan market? And now the third generation Cadillac CTS, straight-up is likely to struggle to compete with the German-inspired rooms? Not much, you (as tested $ 65,228 average price) If you want to look at these four tools, you're probably going to want to stay out of cinder block building behind the gas station outside.

We hopped on our Radiant Silver 2014 CTS (spoiled polished 18-inch wheels), and will be back with the rest of our group will meet again in Hocking Hills, into the jet. They have an average adult male human 11 feet moving (named Aaron) for a walk-inch caterpillar is equivalent to trying to figure out how much you will have to engage.

That was our competitor's park. Our choice of rear-wheel-drive CTS moderate engine motivation took a 321-hp 3.6-liter naturally aspirated V-6. There are slightly above the previous CTS familiar 3.6-powered version. Our test car stickered for $ 67,075 in a way that is both useful and pointless features, brings a big load Premium trim levels wore. With the same engine can be found about $ 55,000 to less wealthy CTS.

the other three cars Cadillac last decade or so had established the trio were followed. First up: the reigning champion comparison test, 10Best award-winning and all around nice car Audi A6. We moderate its engine options, 310 hp, opted for an A6 with supercharged 3.0-liter V-6. Audi substantially unchanged last year, vehicle only in this test. Even equipped with the optional adaptive cruise control and a sports package, among other things less expensive, $ 62,745 and comparo test carries the lowest price.


Clockwise from top left: Audi A6, Cadillac CTS, Mercedes E350, the BMW 535i.
BMW 5-series: Next time it was finished bogey model for Cadillac. In particular, the face-lifted-for-2014 535 rear driver asked. This is not available, we have 302 hp, four-wheel drive 535i, acceptance turbo inline-six. His M Sport package ($ 3150) and thanks to a pair of expensive convenience bundles, 535 stole our priciest competitor as $ 67,600.

German trifecta to finish, we like BMW, has been face-lifted 2014 Ours, Mercedes-Benz E350, "sport" version of the new curved nose, "luxury" model was not wearing a demure face caught. This by no window sticker, hood ornament Alterman-satisfaction, but it is moved, it came with a "lowered sports suspension." We try as you might sport suspension we could not find any evidence. But with a lot of leather seating and infotainment features, our E350 came with a relatively reasonable $ 63,490 price tag. This is supported by the 302-hp 3.5-liter V-6.

This contest is not lost for a comparison test already Audi Lexus GS350 would be appropriate. That was the only Cadillac against Germany. And unfortunately, we often numbers and uppercase letters with a real name-just a mess we find no competitors.

We fancy with their fancy colorful animations, dual display panel screens, video-game machines in the form of bricks that bear some similarity CTS gas station drove away we noticed. Coincidence?
