A couple years ago I saw a statistic from one of the auto analysts that 30% of 2008 CTS owners were former BMW, Mercedes and Lexus owners or leasees, mainly because the CTS performed just as well and had a lot of features standard that the imports you would have to pay extra for. Also, I want to say back in 2007, I was invited to a Ride and Drive event held by Road & Track. The three manufacturers were Cadillac, BMW and Lexus. Each had a sedan and crossover there and you were allowed to take all of them out on a course they had set up. Many of the people there felt the Cadillacs (STS and SRX) were just as good or better than the BMW and Lexus counterparts.
