Have you driven the new ATS? I personally haven't, but I wouldn't judge it until having some cockpit time. They designed it to the portions of the E46 and benchmarked/tuned it as such. I think Lexus did something similar with their new IS development.
I think you are right we can't judge before we drive these cars. It's a gamble they took with tuning the car to the E46 specs. The ATS looks nicer though and I would not say its looks are polarizing. I would not say the same about the IS.
