i got the new consumer reports with the sports sedan write up.
im a newbie by the way, hope you dont hold that agaist me. anyway so, in this issue there were 6 cars. the lexus won.
the main low point was that it, "lacks a sporty feel"
this is the sports sedans. i thought it funny.
they also tested the cts. it placed above the MB c230. but it was 11th of the 18th listed. this gets better. the lexus was bested by the hybrid honda accord and vw passat. the tl won overall. the 'ac.
they also made special mention that all models came with base engine and automatic tranns. the audi did well but said a lot of bad things about it. engine noise and ride and what not.
