2014 Cadillac ATS Coupe - First Look

[Tre-Tre]

Holy, will there ever be an article about a gm product that wont bring up past flops? Sonic=aveo, ats=cimmeron(30 freakin years ago!!!!)
Why dont we hear about the hyundai pony (Excell) when talking elantra?? Its been less time between than the cimmeron! What about the 00 taurus that spit up trannies religously and was like a fish bowl inside. What about the broken frame toyotas when talking about the tacoma?
For once i would like to see a Gm car review without bringing up 30 yr old products, next we will hear about the Vega when the compact rwd chevy comes....

Exactly my thoughts, it gets exhausting hearing the same crap after every all new car intro. Well said.

too timid, there is no way a Cadillac coupe would be that bland...

I agree. Far too soft, too timid and way too bland. Lets hope this isn't even close.

It's absolutely fine. Chill. Have you seen the ATS? It's far from soft, timid, or bland.

[ne_one]

Yep! Saw it a few years ago at a media event at the design dome along with other vehicles that all have debuted.

Very cool. Apart from the ATS coupe are there any remaining vehicles that you saw that are still coming?

It's actually a very close illustration to the final product. It's not a big departure like the CTS coupe and those expecting more than the illustration are in for some disappointment.

Personally, I rather like it in these P-Shops.

Do you know if the current CTS Coupe will live on for a while after the current sedan dies? The coupe is so popular, and gorgeous, I'd hate to see Cadillac go without it until the next CTS COupe appears,

I'm assuming there's going to be a year without a CTS coupe.

2013: ATS, CTS, CTS coupe
2014: ATS, ATS coupe, CTS
2015: ATS, ATS coupe, CTS, CTS coupe

That's my guess. Hopefully, there's a pair of convertibles, too...

[V8GMT360 Guy]

If they release it, looking like that, in a V version I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

I already did the ATS Coupe chop some time ago in multiple colors even....The NAIAS Caddy ATS as Coupe

[EldoFan]

@ MonaroSS - You've outdone yourself. The ATS coupe looks amazing in that shade!

I'm a big fan, however 'conventional' this may end up being as well. With that said, I'm more concerned with the powertrain + interior, hoping they don't disappoint.

This. It looks extremely bland. The CTS coupe is downright sexy...I don't get any of those vibes with this.

I like the smooth frameless door glass. Would have sexed up the sedan big-time to have used frameless there.

[BBDOS CV8]

It's only a render - but if it does look like this, and performs and is equipped and interior designed halfway right then they may actually have a winner in Europe and Asia.

Th big 'If' still is, are they going to market it properly, set up a proper distribution/dealer network worthy of the name. If thy do it properly with this product, it will still take a while, but they actually have something worth pushing, like they've never had previously.

[T'Cal]

I like it better than the CTS coupe, which looks way too chunky in back for me. I hope the production model looks as good as the chops.

Why would anyone buy a coupe that looks just like the sedan, but missing two doors?

How can they do opera windows and a cabriolet top with this?

They should just build a hard top convertible--the coupe wouldn't be missed.

Too long. It looks like you just covered the door handle and smoothed the skin. The ass needs to move up closer. And speaking of colors, Cadillac needs to open up its color palette to richer tones like this one.

I like the smooth frameless door glass. Would have sexed up the sedan big-time to have used frameless there.

I so agree. The fewer the pillars, the better, in my book. Do I recall a possibility for Omega as being B pillarless?

It doesn't and it probably won't look like a 2 door sedan. It's a photoshop, not a god damned masterpiece.

Who said anything about opera windows? They can probably do a cab top on it because it's not a retardedly inhibitively steep rake in the roofline like the CTS.

No thanks, plus they want to keep the ATS light, so a hardtop is hardly the way to do that, I'd think.
