Trying to compare a plastic GM interior to a foreign Audi leather?

Audi looks far better interior and exterior wise. Theres a reason it has a slightly high price tag.

to be completely honest, the caddy doesn’t look too bad interior wise…suede wheel, nice seats…

There is absolutely no reason to compare those two cars. They are targeting completely different demographics.

one for whites and one for…

im going straight to hell.

nice audi… but i agree that’s one of the better caddy interiors that ive seen.

I agree the comparison is not great but this was posted in the V forum so I figured I would pass it along
The old CTS-V was compared to the S4 on Top Gear, maybe they will compare this one to an RS4

Slightly? $157k, It is about double

I had an audi and the leathette sucked, granted mine didn’t sticker in the 6 digit range

i think the caddy looks sharper, and the performance is definitley noticeable

Nice looking car.

the audi interior looks bland and boring. the seats dont look like they have much support from that angle.

the caddy will be more reliable and faster too.

looks like a :tdown: to the overpriced audi.

i would drive either one, both are great cars for what they are.

caddy interior is definitely not too shabby. finally somewhat modern looking in comparison to other gm models. hate pop up nav though, and they really need to update the gauge cluster.

LOL i think the old RS6 was like 4000lbs… according to wiki this one weighs 4400lbs :frowning:

i’d take the caddy… it’ll get more bitches.

didnt know the cts-v came auto

seriously… the audi will get you more sausage :wink:
