Cadillac ATS anyone? First time spied in actual form. Didn't see an ATS forum but it's sorta the smaller brother to the CTS 
Thing's got potential... for a sedan that is. I just want it the annoying european sedans a run for their money!

This mule was caught on the test circuit and shows a body which maintains Cadillac's angular chiseled design. The ATS appears to be a sleeker CTS, with an upsweeping character line on the side which leads down to an aggressive flared front chin. The back and front overhangs look bulky and long in these pics, but that's likely due to the extra camouflage panels still attached. The C pillar shape is likely a decoy.
The front brakes looks to be impressive (perhaps 6 piston calipers) and ready to handle serious performance.

i wouldnt see why the duals wouldnt be in the 4 banger version. or the big brakes. Gm should look for ways to set this car apart and make it special. make the base version also have some sporty pack which gives you the big brakes, etc. it would be nice to see this car with some ecotec motors, even the v6 ecotec.

Cause when you add 2500 dollar brakes kit and dual exhaust/sporty options, you take the afforable 4 banger version out of the equation. Plus, the majority of people who would opt for the cheap version could careless about 6 piston brembos and 200 dollar brake pad changes.
Its the exact reason the Mustang is so popular and stayed around. More V6, base model cars sold and marketed to women and people who like the design but dont need all the performance of the top models.

you find a way to sell the most profit generating chassis, then get people to load the car up with as many options as they car afford. people mock the never ending options list that bmw/audi/mb have.... but thats where alot of money is made for the companies and the dealerships.
