Why should I also consider these?
Loyalty counts heavily in this crowd, and the BMW M3's reputation brings a legion of fans with it.
This is a hotly contested field, and each of the three rivals has also been completely redesigned in the past year or two.
Lexus's IS-F has a 416-hp V-8 engine and eight-speed automatic transmission, which gives it a technical edge on the M3.
Then there’s the new Cadillac CTS-V, which might actually be the most fun to drive of these sedans, with especially communicative steering and great body control at the limits.
The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG may be faster, but it doesn’t have the same frisky feel of the Cadillac or Lexus.
