If you’re an automaker and you want your newest model to get attention, paint it red. That’s exactly what Cadillac did, but it used an understated shade of the color for its ATS Crimson Sport Edition. Inside, the baby Caddy can be dressed in one of four color combinations: Morello Red with Jet Black accents, […] More »
