The trouble with being a fast gun is that some young gun's always trying to outdraw you. The latest two to challenge BMW's sport sedan supremacy are the Infiniti G35 and Cadillac CTS. "Cadillac!" you say. Wipe off that smirk. This is serious. At first, the Infiniti and Cadillac seem an unlikely combo: one Japanese, the other possibly Martian. But both are trigger-happy―and the BMW 3 Series is as flinty as ever. As proper sport sedans, all are front-engined and rear-drive, with traction control when things get slippery. The BMW's 225-horsepower inline 6-cylinder matches up with two V6s―the 220-hp Cadillac and the torquey 260-hp Infiniti. For now, the Infiniti is available only with a 5-speed manumatic (that is, you can select gears manually or let it shift for itself). We chose Cadillac's 5-speed manual―the first Caddy stick since Maude died―and, to be different, BMW's 5-speed manumatic. Then we lined them up in the street and stood back.

机译:快枪的麻烦在于某些年轻的枪总是试图让你失望。挑战宝马运动型轿车至高无上的最新两个是英菲尼迪G35和凯迪拉克CTS。 “卡迪拉克!”你说。擦掉那个假笑。这是严重的。最初,英菲尼迪和凯迪拉克似乎不太可能组合:一个日本人,另一个可能是火星人。但是,两者都令人高兴— BMW 3系和以往一样轻巧。作为合适的运动型轿车,所有车型均采用前置发动机和后轮驱动装置,并在路面打滑时具有牵引力控制功能。宝马225马力的直列6缸发动机与两辆V6匹配,即220马力的凯迪拉克和扭矩达260马力的英菲尼迪。目前,英菲尼迪仅适用于5速手动变速箱(也就是说,您可以手动选择档位或让它自己换挡)。我们选择了凯迪拉克(Cadillac)的5速手动变速箱,这是自毛德(Maude)死后的第一支凯迪(Caddy)操纵杆,而宝马(BMW)的5速手动变速箱则有所不同。然后我们在街上把他们排成一排,然后站了起来。
