Cadillac ATS-V vs. Lexus-RC-F

I sat in my cousins ATS a while ago and the dash/ radio controls felt really cheap and looked cheap as well. The one they tested in this article looks like the same kind of controls, I wonder if the feel of the controls has changed. I was pretty disappointed with the interior to be honest. It looked really tacky.
Sat in a Orange Lexus RC-F at the Washington DC car show, 1st thing I noticed is that a lot of the controls seemed backwards and would take a while to get used to and the goofy laptop like finger pad in the middle was awkward too.
That RC-F is pretty damn heavy too.
Id be surprised if any magazine review put the American car ahead because ALL magazines are anti-US vehicles it seems.
I like how the US cars usually cost less, have more hp, not all the time but often weigh less and still they get hosed in the reviews. Other than cost, HP, weight the rest all comes down to personal taste anyways IMO!

I sat in both. The Lexus is very comfy and the materials all feel spot on. But as mentioned, that laptop style finger pad is goofy and would take getting used to.
I do prefer to Caddy in both inside and outside looks, but the interior definitely falls a little bit short in terms of fit and finish. Materials are very nice however, they just seem to not be put together quite well in certain places.

Looks like the consensus is that Cadillac needs to spend some brain power on improving the "cheap" interior.
I wouldn't take a Lexus (glorified Toyota) unless it was given to me. Then I would cringe every time I had to look at it before getting in. I'd tint the windows so nobody could see me in it.

Good fuck my 08 Navigator gets about that..... X2 on the not impressed on mileage but Id give no fucks especially once I hammered on the gas. Plus I daily a car on E85 anyways who am I to bitch about mileage LOL!!!
Many of the GDI engines are facing the issue. Normally the fuel wash from port injection would clean the valves as the fuel entered the combustion chambger. with GDI the fuel goes right into the cylinder and only carbon and impurities get attached to teh valve, this builds up over time. I hear the last gen cts's and camaro v6's (same engine) were having the issue to a lesser degree as well. Most aftermarket band aids is the addition of a catch can to the exhaust gas system.
Am I the only one that thinks all modern Toyota/ Lexus interiors are just utter crap? The one from the RC-F is particularly offensive. It looks like it's 25 years old.
Show me a 25 year old car that has an interior that looks like that.
