Detailed review:	I had my mind set on becoming a BMW owner after testing Mercedes E class, S class, Audi A6 and BMW 525i and 740i/sports package, but after I took the CTS for a test drive those other cars quickly faded away. I was simply astounded by the way the Cadillac handles in city traffic, rural driving and particularly on the Interstate. This car feels very tight and solid and stays glued to the road under all driving conditions. Acceleration could be slightly better, but is certainly more than adequate. The automatic transmission is absolutely the best I've ever encountered. The howl of the 3.2 double overhead cam v6 under hard acceleration is beautiful. Although the car handles like a well tuned sports car and feel nice and stiff, the ride is amazingly smooth and comfortable. The brakes are fantastic. This is an extremely refined machine.
