GM's sport sedan (Cadillac ATS) is coming! Here she is in testing runs - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

06GTO · 03-10-2011, 02:16 AM

Anyone else excited by prospect of a small sports sedan by the general? Always been a fan of the CTS (especially that CTS-v) but it's been growing bigger and bigger. I think the ATS will be the perfect size, maybe even for me to trade in the goat for

CTS will grow bigger with the 3rd gen, too.

I know engineers are people too...but come on...a sunroof in a test car? These guys are getting spoiled. Probably has leather and heated seats, too.

Kidding...give them lay-z-boys for the offices if they keep turning out these wonderful products. Thanks GM.

The lower portion of the front bumper has me intrigued.

Kind of a dumb question... actually, this is a dumb question... but why must the car be covered up on a test vehicle. I mean, we know what vehicle is under the cover? Is this just because emblems, logos, and name branding cannot be displayed to the public until the car is relaesed for production?

Normally it's to hide body style hints so it's original for that vehicle, and someone else doesn't come out with it while you're in testing.

ATS = Alpha

6th Gen Camaro = Alpha

Say "Hello!" to the next Camaro platform...
