[TSM330i]

I like these cars and I like what they've done with them.

Looks like they've improved on everything from the CTS-V and ATS-V.

The standard manual is just icing on the cake. Yes, I love manuals and if I were in a market for this type of vehicle, I would highly consider it. I have two cars that are manual (GTI and C2). The driver involvement and control is worth it to me vs. 0-60 times. Blasting to 60mph gets old after a while. I would much rather heel & toe going into a corner and perfectly hitting the apex and accelerating out.

Yes, the Cadillacs will get trounced 0-60mph because they don't have AWD. I'm fine with that. They don't weigh 4,500lbs+ either, which will help with braking and handling. The price point is really good too with so much potential and fun.

If you're worried about 0-60mph - go buy a Tesla. They're automatic and AWD too and will trounce anything in acceleration save a hyper exotic.
