This whole thing about 'soft touch' dashboards etc - does it really, really, matter? Yes, the things you touch (gearknob, door handles, steering wheel) should be nice, but maybe I'm the weird one when I can honestly say, I really don't spend much time touching and assessing the softness of the materials in any of my cars!
Yeah, I have never understood the fascination either. To me the dashboard is just a piece of plastic to cover up all the wires and vents between the steering wheel and the windscreen. I can do basic no problem, but cheap and low quality appears to be beyond me.
Personally I think the new ATS-V and CTS-V look better than any BWM & Audi. I'm a big fan of BMWs, but their current design language is verging on utterly minging, perhaps with the exception of the M4; I still can't decide whether I like that or not. Interior is great in the Caddy too, with one exception - the steering wheel is bloody awful. The seats more than make up for it though, they're just lovely.
I'd encourage anyone to drive one before saying the German stuff is better too, the ATS-V is mighty impressive, and I can't wait to try the new CTS-V because of it. There's not many other cars I'll step out of a Hellcat for, and unless the forthcoming GT500 is spectacular a V-series caddy might be the only one that does.
