Having trouble finding an E coupe with Distronic Plus, though I've been warned that is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Started checking out the ATS coupe, but noticed it had similar dimensions as the C coupe.

Wondering if anyone here had some seat time in both the ATS and the Mercedes and could offer some comments.

 

the 2018 E Coupe and ATS aren’t in the same class. As you mentioned, C Coupe is an ATS competitor.

 

CTS maybe, ATS no.

 

I’ve been a passenger in an ATS sedan uber. Space was kinda tight. It felt about as nice inside as an Infiniti.

 

I just feel that Cadillac and Lincoln brands have a long way to go to be included in the same conversation with most other luxury brands. I think of Cadillac as an expensive comfortable car with some performance options that can only be afforded by those with money. Some of those performance options will outperform most of its European and Asian competitors. What they seem to lack, under that ego inflating crass exterior, is a sense of refined and timeless style that allows its owners with an the opportunity to live out an image. Albeit most of us don't live out that image day in and day out.... but for a moment, when that memory counts, you'll find that opportunity in the Mercedes....

 

Lincoln's exteriors have become more tasteful of late, but Cadillac...strictly for the gangtsa rappers.

 

You said it, not me. Ha ha.
