Cadillac ATS with Spoiler Pics

[Murrow]

I hadn't seen one with a spoiler until I visited the dealer today in Newport News, Virginia. They had two -- a White Diamond and Black Diamond. I'm not a fan of spoilers in general, and I certainly wouldn't spend $480 for this one, but it was better integrated than many others I've seen.











They also had one unit without CUE.



I got a look at the Caramel interior today, which is what I thought I would want, but while I liked the color of the leather, I didn't really like the striped pattern of the wood. I also saw the red interior for the first time, and I liked it a lot. They had one in Light Platinum/Brownstone, which I liked better than I expected. I've never been a big fan of black interiors, but the aluminum accents were nice. The Light Platinum/Jet Black was the only combo I didn't see.

There are definitely a ton of ATS build combinations, and I've found some interesting combinations at various dealers. The base model without CUE that I saw today had the 2.0 and Black Diamond paint as the only options, which I thought was interesting. There was also a pretty expensive 2.5 Luxury with with sunroof, extra-cost red paint and the optional 18" wheels (this one had been on the lot for a while based on its October inspection sticker). I'm surprised at how many 2.5s I've seen with premium, $1,000 paint. The way I see it, if I'm trying to economize by getting the 2.5, the last thing I'm going to spend $1,000 on is paint, considering there are no-extra-cost paint options.

Over on Cadillac Forums they were all over that spoiler. I don't understand it. The CHMSL is the spoiler on this car. I wouldn't dare tack that thing on my ATS, anyway.

Ew. Looks like a dealer tacked on add-on to add more money to the price.

There's a dealer by me that orders every Camaro on the lot with the dealer installed duckbill spoiler....I will never buy a car from them.

Not liking that at all, does not go with the design that well.

They REALLY like exterior modifications on that site, I suppose because so many members are (or were) youngish guys buying used CTSs who want to put their stamp on their car. I noticed that inclination in myself after buying a used Deville.

With Cadillacs moving towards using the CHMSL for lip spoilers I fail to see how this is worth it at all.

Now what I am interested in is the spoiler for the '14 Impala. That will be interesting.

It doesnt look that bad in pictures

I guess each to his/her own

The white car in the photos above, and many other cars on the lot, had dealer-installed pinstripes. Yuck! ! On my current car, I made the dealer remove the stripes, and on the car before that, I made them remove mud guards. If I wanted that crap -- and I don't -- I'd put it on myself.

I think that an actual spoiler that attached outside the CMHSL and actually was about an 1-2" above it would look much better. With that spoiler it just looks out of place with the light being so large. Its weird.

Wow, the ATS looks amazing in White Diamond. I have a lot of trouble paying $1,000 for premium paint, but this would be worth it.

I removed the pinstripe off my car myself, it's amazing how easy they come off.

[V8GMT360 Guy]

That spoiler looks like utter crap... the CHMSL by itself is all the car needs.

And yeah, modern cars like the ATS don't look good with pinstripes either.

Suttle Motors Corp in Newport News on Jefferson Ave. I used to work there as a tech. I now live in Naples, Fl and am a tech at a Cadillac store here. We put the spoilers on almost every ATS we get. Its a GM accessory. I personally like them, as do most of our customers, as we have no issue at all moving ATS's. We do not however, but pinstripes on any of our stock units.

You must work at DeVoe Cadilac. I used to live in Fort Myers.

The rear end isn't all that pretty...
