if they didnt spec one with CCBs the M would have still given them 2 other cars the same beating and come in at the same price point of around $75K

M4, the trap king!

BTW, the editing and production quality of these videos is sub par to windows movie maker... do these guys have like a $10 budget?

I suspect either the Caddy being 8AT or the M4 being 6MT would have closed the gap a bit but these numbers are telling either way.

Interesting that the RCF has both the least comfortable and the least sporting chassis.

Let's be serious here, if the M4 had a manual, 0-60's and 1/4 mile would have been the same or worse than the Cadillacs. The Lexus is a joke, Japan should stick to prius's. I'd be curious to see identically equipped ATS-V to M4. As much as I love BMW, the ATS has a better chassis and steering and American muscle powering it. I hope someone does a comparo at Nuremberg.

Lol a V6TT =/= American muscle. If the ATSV had an LT1 you might be on to something.

Another comparo with manual ATS-V.

Hopefully the Motor Trend test comparo has a 8-speed auto ATS-V.

Kinda odd that one guy states the M4 steering and handling is tighter and communicates better than the other cars (5:30).

Then one minute later they said the ATS-V handling and steering feel "really stood apart from the others." (6:30).

I feel like I have seen this before

BMW is the all out track beast, straight line rocket ship. Duh.

Caddy is a mix of comfort/track performance.

Lexus focusing primarily on comfort/driveability over all out performance.

From my experience owning and driving BMW's and Lexus F models, that is pretty accurate.

All are awesome cars though in my opinion...Can't wait to see next weeks video comparo' of the same cars...

After owning a caddy, I can 100% disagree with this. I did NOT find it comfortable at all. My mustang was more comfortable.
