2014 BMW 528i vs. 2014 Cadillac CTS 2.0T: Cadillac goes for the German's jugular - New York Daily News
Case in point: BMW’s ubiquitous 5-Series sedan – which for decades successfully fended off rivals from Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Lexus and Infiniti – has come to be seen as the industry’s definitive mid-sized luxury sedan. Then there’s Cadillac, which, long ago, claimed to be the “standard of the world” back in its heyday. Yep, prime BMW territory. While the 5-Series boasts strong sales and a great reputation, it enters this fight at a slight disadvantage. The current 5-Series was introduced as a 2011 model, and is the largest, heaviest, and most conservatively styled 5-Series in its four-decade history. The 2014 Cadillac CTS is all-new from the ground up. Five inches longer, with a longer wheelbase yet considerably less weight than its predecessor, the CTS is now sized and packaged as a proper mid-size luxury sedan. Since it was smaller—and cheaper—in its last iteration, some people may have a hard time seeing the CTS on par with the 5-Series, but trust us, now it is. With its long, creased nose, bold grille, dramatic vertical LED lights and crisp, tailored... If there is a way to measure sedan “swagger,” the Caddy wins, hands down. Something the BMW boasts, at least for 2014, is variety. Source: www.nydailynews.com
