What may well be the first really legitimate American challenger to the BMW 3 Series has been exposed a few hours ahead of its official reveal this evening. At just 3,400 pounds, it is admirably svelte and it will be very interesting to watch how it actually performs on the road.

+Fulvio Gerardi Agreed. Give it a facelift and some styling please and then we'll see. But unfortunately, IMHO, the image and perception of Cadillac doesn't cater to those that would likely get a 3 series BMW (or similar C-class Merc / A4 class Audi).
The funny thing is, GM do produce some attractive cars. Look at their Australian Holdens as a prime example, which are sold in the US under local names for instance.
I want one…
I would like to test drive the 2.0 turbo, though I'm not sure the styling can really compete (especially the interior) with Audi. Exterior is fine, but let's talk interior. That touchscreen nav has an offensively ugly interface. The instrumentation looks… very American. And I really don't like the design motif of this angled sort of feather that repeats itself on the steering wheel, the shifter and on other elements of the interior. But maybe once you're in it, driving it, get to feel the shape of things it's better. Overall, I'm skeptical but curious.
