I find it funny too. It remind when the iPhone and iPad came out and that was one of the criticisms of those products.

When the iPhone came out? OMG fingerprints!

When the iPad came out? OMG fingerprints!

Have those issues stuck? Nope mostly everyone now has a iPhone/Android phone with a touchscreen or a touchscreen tablet.

But my iPhone does lag when it's cold out.

I don't have any issues with CUE in my dads ATS. I know how to use it, what to do is logical in my opinion, etc. Is it perfect? No, the zooming function( whether pinch to zoom or taping on the zoom in/out button) in the navigation is a bit slow, but the rest of the system is responsive with little lag.

There is a learning curve, but once you get use to it CUE isn't a huge negative as the media portrays it to be.

I also think people let their biases get in the way of assessing an interior. Whether it is because Cadillac isn't BMW so they bash the interior just because of their fanboyism or say the interior is crap( materials included) because the design is not to their tastes. Or you have Shocknawe who nitpicks every single small detail to death......

When I was looking to buy an ATS, I searched the ATS Forums and most owners said exactly what you wrote above. I didn't want CUE, but couldn't find a car without it. The ATS guys convinced me it is not that bad of a system and the benefit of getting it is the audio system is much better.
