We've been waiting years for this and now it's finally here. No, Middle East peace isn't upon us, but the ongoing battle to de-crown the BMW 3 Series as the best premium sports sedan may have finally been accomplished. Cadillac's all-new ATS is perhaps the Bimmer's most formidable foe to date, and Motor Trend's Jonny Lieberman has put the two in a head-to-head matchup to determine a winner. Now, Cadillac has a lot riding on the success of the ATS and the shame of failure simply isn't an option.
