Gotta say this thing has some potential in the looks department. Can't believe there standard version gets brakes that large.

The ATS-V version should prove potent if the CTS-V is any indication.

The CTS-V is 2 years old and still a better performer than the new M5. So seeing an "ATS-V" outperforming it's class competitors is not too far out of the realm of reality.

i'll be going to S. Korea for 3 months in about 3 weeks or so.

in a perfect world, i'll trade in my 335 for an 09 CTSV sometime next February.

love those damn cars.

They're doing a great job at Cadillac these days. The CTS is 190-inches long but I've heard the ATS is smaller. If it's around 180" that'll put it alongside the 3-series and the MB C-series. All of which are too short to be true luxury cars, IMO, but it does seem to be the optimal range for the now-dominant luxury-performance compromise. The idea of chopping ten inches off a CTS-V is probably making 5-series designers extremely nervous.

(I'd also love to see GM try a serious, non-roadster, performance-oriented 170" platform, like the 1-series.)

It's okay, I find the vast majority of fan boys and brand fanatics have never even driven, or can't even afford, the cars they're bashing in the first place.

That looks really good. I thought it might just look like a scaled down CTS but actually it looks quite nice. Look forward to seeing it unveiled.

Stunning! Caddy is on the rise.
