A lot of really nice cars on this list and all of these come very close in price to the MKZ. IMO the Lexus IS and Cadillac ATS will be it's toughest competition and if the MKZ's performance is compared to those two....MKZ will lose.

 

[Radon]

Not so sure about the Lexus IS as it's getting burned for it's looks right now. I feel the same about the exterior. The ATS on the other hand will be the tougher fight in the segment. The ATS is coming up strong to prove both itself with performance and good balance.

The Cadillac ATS is the seond car I am interested in at the moment but I still have faith in the MKZ to come out as the victor. I will have to arrange an appointment sometime next week to test drive the MKZ.
