Motor Trend's latest episode of "Head 2 Head" is a battle of the little luxury sixes, looking to see which of these $50,000 sport sedans, all equipped with automatic transmissions, can lay the largest claim to your money: the 321-horsepower, six-speed
Cadillac ATS 3.6, the 302-horsepower, seven-speed
Mercedes-Benz C350 Sport or the 300-horsepower, eight-speed
BMW 335i.
Host Jonny Lieberman doesn't just look at dynamics. He starts off with an assessment of each car's interior and its infotainment interface: CUE on the
Cadillac, COMAND on the
Mercedes and iDrive on the
BMW. A bit of a spoiler, CUE doesn't fare any better here

The victor and the overall ranking might surprise you. One of the contestants "goes around corners better than it goes in a straight line," one of them would have won the comparo if it were held a year ago, and one earns more mention of the word "rubbery" than you'll hear outside of a Kumho factory. Enjoy the episode
in the video below.
