2016 Audi A6 2.0T Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh With a boost from 220 to 252 horsepower for 2016, Audi's turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine can accelerate the A6 to 60 mph in about seven seconds, a time that required a V8 not long ago. That said, the 333-horsepower A6 3.0T can do the same in under six. The... Comparison vehicle: 2016 Cadillac CTS |

2014 Lexus GS 350 F Sport Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh When Lexus introduced a direct-injected 306-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 in the 2006 GS and IS, many people took notice. Audi's, BMW's, and Cadillac's six-cylinder engines were only good for 255 horsepower. On top of its power advantage, the Lexus V6 was smooth and produced thrilling noises when revved. Fast forward...

2015 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh I've already laid out the pieces of the performance puzzle: heavy car, engines without boost. While the Genesis is quick even with the V6--following a hard launch, 60 mph should arrive in about six seconds, compared to low fives with the V8--it's not as quick as Audis and BMWs with...

The Baby Boomer's Executive Express! 2004 Cadillac CTS Pros and Cons Member2702 4 door Corvette indeed! Awesome acceleration with Nascar soundtrack under the hood. This car is the ultimate baby-boomer express, possessing the small-block muscle-car era DNA we grew up with. Add in the 6-spd manual trannie and you have a car that can crush all but the mightiest of all those... |

2014 Cadillac CTS Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Cadillac claims more peak horsepower for its turbocharged 2.0-liter four, 272 vs. 240 in the BMW and 220 in the Audi. In reality, though, the BMW feels at least as quick despite a combination of its lower peak horsepower spec and greater heft. (I've never driven the A6 2.0T, nor...

2013 Cadillac Sportwagon base model 2013 Cadillac CTS Pros and Cons Hauler The base v6 produces amazing performance through the 6 speed tap-shift automatic transmission. It moves the 4000 pound wagon as easily as my 66 Corvette that with an engine that has twice the displacement, and the corvette is 500 pounds lighter. |

2011 Cadillac CTS-V wagon Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Engines don't get more American than a small block V8 fitted with a supercharger. Kicking out 556 horsepower at 6,100 RPM and 551 foot-pounds of torque at 3,800 RPM, the 6.2-liter engine is more than a match for the CTS-V wagon’s considerable 4,398 pounds. It's got thrust (though the car's... Comparison vehicle: 2008 BMW 3-Series |
