^haha nope not surprised. There are some things about the Accord I still prefer like the overall simplicity, the V6, the gauges, and the mechanical handbrake. But the ATS is more fun being RWD and near 50/50 weight distribution, the red/black interior is pretty special, materials/fit & finish is on another level, etc. But I think the cars share a lot too actually, and I love driving both for different reasons.
Pretty sure I am the only person on this forum, or maybe ever, to go from a Honda to a Cadillac haha. But Cadillac is not the brand it used to be, and Honda, and every other Japanese car company for that matter, just isn't making anything I want these days so it was time to look elsewhere. I just hope the ATS will prove to be pretty reliable.
