If there is one car that General Motors' newly launched Cadillac ATS compact sports sedan has to prove its worth to, it is the model that has defined the category in every possible way for more than 20 years: the BMW 3-Series sedan.

And it is these two sport sedans that Motor Trend's Jonny Lieberman brings together for a driving comparison in the latest episode of "Head 2 Head". The cars of choice are the Cadillac ATS with the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and the BMW 328i.

General Motors may have increased its US sales in August by 10 percent compared to the same month in 2011, but last Wednesday it notified its dealers to stop deliveries of some of its most popular models.

Video: George Bush’s Cadillac DTS Limo Breaks In Rome!

Luckily, the Italian people made light of the situation and filled the air with laughter and snickers followed by applause and cheers when Bush got out of the car and just decided to walk the rest of the way. Ι’m sure the American people are pissed that others are poking fun at their president because it’s a privilege only they think they are entitled to.
