We bought an ats with 2.0t last December and we love it. Just made a several thousand mile road trip last month and it performed as expected, excellent!

Even though Buicks seem seems to be getting better reviews , I would go with the Caddy. My grandfather and my elderly aunt and uncle had Buicks and I can't get that image out of my head. I have felt the same way about Lincoln. Just an image thing and probably not valid. Currently , I am driving my mother's Sedan deVille '05 and am surprisingly happy. It has the "famed" Northstar V8 and while bigger than my previous Accords, it is adequate for my 4-5K miles a year. I will unload it once it has expensive repairs.

I'm driving a 2016 Buick Lacrosse and love it. One comfortable, quiet ride.

I would go with the Buick since its newer and has lower miles.

I'd get a Regal GS.
I love it except for the fact that the interior only comes in black leather. Grrrr!!

I was surprised to find that my Toyota Tundra is made in Texas, however both the Ford and Chevy pickup are not made here (Ford = Mexico) (GM = Mexico)

Mexico bound? Ford moving two key models out of Michigan

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Silverado
Uuummm....Ford trucks are not built in Mexico. The F-150 and Superduty's are all built in the US. They just moved F-650/750 production from Mexico to Ohio, too. Lastly, the plant that is being vacated by the Focus/C-Max is getting new product there to take their spots so there is no US production loss.

Thanks for linking a 2-year old article - here is a new version:

Ford to invest $1.2 billion in Michigan plants

That being said, where a vehicle is made is not the only thing that matters. Your Tundra has far more foreign parts in it than an F-150 does not to mention those profits go back overseas, too.

Lastly, to the OP, honestly neither car is any good in my opinion. I'd rather have a nice/optioned-up Ford Fusion or something like that over either of those two. (And one of my cars is a Caddy so it's not like I'm a brand-hater.)

Of the two I prefer the ATS but that car is REALLY small inside - even the driver's area - and the performance is underwhelming for a sports-sedan unless you're talking about the ATS-V.

I'd get the Buick. For ride, comfort, and affordability.

Of course if status is your desire then pick the other one.

The difference is about $10-15,000, but the vehicles are the same with only cosmetic differences. Same motors, same mainframes.

Ford is retooling their Michigan ave assembly plant we're the Focus is assembled they wanted to move the Focus to Mexico because they don't make a huge profit on small cars. Taking the Focus place is the new Ford Ranger and the new Ford Bronco. The F150 is built at Fords huge Rouge complex in Dearborn Michigan. And their Kansas City assembly plant. Ford said Friday it is investing $350 million in its Livonia Transmission Plant to expand its lineup of transmissions and will add 800 jobs at the plant
