    Spying: Cadillac ATS Coupe

    By William Maley

    Staff Writer - CheersandGears.com

    April 24, 2013

    It has been speculated and talked about for months on end, and it now seems to be real. New spy photos released yesterday show that there is an ATS coupe in development.

    The photos reveal a mule looking like the current CTS coupe running around. The indication that has everyone believing that its an ATS coupe; the proportions. The mule appears to be using a short wheelbase, not a long one like you would see on the CTS coupe.

    We'll be keeping a close eye on this story and report if we have any new updates.

    I have hopes for this. It appears to be a fastback, but the ass end is not as high and obese as the current CTS coupe.

    My expectation is for the ATS coupe to be quite conservative: more of an A4-to-A5 roofline change than something radical. A CTS coupe (or an Omega-based Eldorado) should be where the styling envelope is pushed in a more dramatic way, IMHO.

    I agree, keep the ATS a bit conservative and go after the bulk sales just like BMW has done with the 3 series and then let the CTS family be radical. After all for those spending north of 60-70K they tend to like to stand out more.

    the renderings and mules I have seen are boring, I know that is what BMW does, and I don't think the current CTS coupe look is right for the car either. But I would like to see the ATS coupe be something besides uber conservative.

    Before I get all worked up I think I may just let them pull off the covers and see this before I get an idea of if I like it or hate it. I might just do something silly like even wait till I see it in person to better opinion.

    Watched a CTS-V coupe roll slowly by me at a local car show today- still looks awesome. Hope the ATS coupe steals a bit of the swagger the CTS coupe does so well, and doesn't come off boring/generic like a 3-series 2-dr.

    Saw a brand new Black AWD ATS today on the way in, still had the paper in the window and no plates. I think it was probably bought this weekend and the one thing I really liked about it was the 3rd light Trunk lid spoiler. It really makes the car look good. :)

      I'll never forget the times I've gone across the pond on BA 747s...or on trips to Hawaii where I walked through the open air concourses and they were parked close by, where I could them up close and huuuuge...love those those bigguns.

      I think they knew all along and were in denial.  I think that there are a lot of stupid people in our country, but it would surprise me if that many are that stupid.  They needed something to pin their hopes on, like some sort of Anti-Christ, or a scapegoat.  If anything, it could be the beginning of the ending of a very bad era. One very good sign is when Google Maps will show the inscription Gulf of Mexico ... again.  About two weeks ago, the wind blew off a baseball cap I was wearing.  That meant I had to grab my U-Dub baseball cap, which is kind of obnoxious, since it's all purple.  In no time flat, I found a large variety of Gulf of Mexico baseball caps online and for great prices, so I will be ordering one in about a week.  When I was on the ship that sailed out of Tampa in April for that repositioning voyage, there was a human p. o. s. up by the pools talking to someone and wearing a Gulf of America cap.  I wanted to say something, but I held back.  I thought that tacky people took short cruises to Mexico and the Caribbean, but I guess they cross oceans, too.  Money does not buy class.  Coincidentally, the perfect example of it is Agent Orange.  Merry Christmas to those who celebrated as such or happy holidays.  One of the things I will be celebrating with is a new Gulf of Mexico baseball cap.

      Good morning ... ... I think I'm dreaming ... That it's (still) so incredible, that I'd like to be on one, and that I'd like to be somewhere warm and/or beautiful. While probably meant for the Airplanes thread, I thought I'd make it a general share

      This is good to see that high school educated people and those with no education at all are waking up to the fact that Idiot47 has been lying the whole time now that life is tough for everyone. Donald Trump’s approval rating flips with least educated Americans

      This has gotten to scary now that the Gov of Idiots in DC are no longer even trying to hide what they are doing, just going ahead and stealing Americans DNA to build a database to abuse the citizens. Trump's DNA dragnet: The law that turns us all into suspects
