    Is There A Smaller Cadillac In Store?

    The smallest Cadillac currently is the new ATS sedan. But that could be changing.

    “The (compact) ATS sedan is not as small as we could go at Cadillac,” says Dave Leone, vehicle-line executive for the ATS. “The ATS is only the first entry. The ATS platform is scalable, so we could go smaller or larger.”

    The ATS is 7.7 inches shorter than the CTS, but the platform could be scaled down even further, possibly spawing a competitor to the BMW 1-Series, Audi A3, and Mercedes A-Class.

    Leone went onto to say, a smaller ATS would “a legitimate entry in the largest segment in the industry, the small, entry-level luxury market.”

    I don't think I could fit a full sheet of plywood or pegboard or anything that large in my Jeep. Anytime I've needed anything large moved I've rented a truck or had it delivered.

    At that rate, I'd be renting a truck every other month to bring home (or from one house to another) a couple 4x8 sheets of something. Not cost effective... I might as well give up on DIY.

    Just got back from the auto show today. All I can say is the show was centered on smaller cars and smaller engine. The product on display was getting smaller and smaller in every MFG display.

    The large SUV's were in the back and the Small were out front. Even the luxury MFG were featuring the smaller cars. From Benz to Cadillac were featuring the smaller cars on the turn tables. Even Cadillac did not show much on the SUV's

    The MFG's are just setting the stage to where they want the sheep to go.
