2013 Cadillac ATS Set To Bow At Detroit Auto Show

[Autoguide.com]

Cadillac's upcoming BMW 3-Series competitor is set to take center stage at this year's Detroit Auto Show according to Mary Barra, Senior VP of global product development for General Motors.

Speaking to the Automotive Press Association (APA) today, Barra disclosed that GM will debut four global concept or production vehicles with one of the four being Cadillac's new ATS.

The 2013 ATS will be Cadillac's entry-level compact luxury sedan, featuring rear- and all-wheel-drive options making it a perfect competitor to BMW's 3-Series, Audi's A4 and arguably Mercedes-Benz's C-Class. The ATS's production should begin this summer and will be built alongside Cadillac's CTS sedan, coupe and wagon in Michigan.

Cadillac has high expectations for their ATS, doing plenty of testing out in Germany including on the Nurburgring. They plan on making it competitive with the best vehicles in that segment, if not better.

Hmm... nothing mentioning the ATS-V, that is the ATS model i'm looking forward to seeing at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show if it ever makes it. Even if the ATS-V doesn't make it, seeing the end result of all the testing and developing Cadillac has been doing on the ATS will be something i can't wait for !!!
