Cadillac builds really good cars, but they are not selling.

15 worst selling cars in the USA (2015), Cadillac holds 3 spots. Note that avg days to turn is telling a different story than total sales per month, it is telling you that the cars are sitting on the lots after being manufactured and delivered. The Mitsubishi Mirage at #11 is selling better than these cars. There are no bmw's, audi's, or mb's on this list.

Your point is that we are unfairly comparing the 3 series sales to the ATS. If I compared the ATS sales to most any other of its competitors, the point of the story would be the same: The sales of the ATS are really, really poor.

If it takes almost 1/2 a year to sell each delivered ATS to the dealership? Something is seriously wrong.
