The ATS, which tested at the demanding Nuerburgring racetrack in Germany, will be built on a new rear-wheel drive platform, but will also come in an all-wheel drive version.

GM will build a diesel version of the car, which will go on sale in the late summer. The company did not disclose pricing.

GM will make the car at its Lansing Grand River assembly plant in Michigan.

Someone explain to me what is not to like.

Hopefully they learned from the Cimarron. But with GM you never know.

What took so effing long!?

Audi, BMW and Benz have been doing this for years!

Then again, the same braintrust that eliminated Pontiac in 2009 (just when things were starting to get ‘good’ again), probably thought, back in the 80’s, 90’s, 00’s, that refined, sporty, AWD compact sedans weren’t worthwhile to build.

First Buick and now Cadillac have finally seen the light. Please don’t let a bunch of drag-racing baby boomers trying to relive their youths screw it up.

That GM is a government and union owned company that fleeced the American people for more than $9B. THAT is what is NOT to like.

Plus, comparing any GM car to a Mercedes or BMW is just foolish.

I drove a 6 speed VW in Germany back in 2008. The engine ran smoothly and I could not tell it was a diesel. And drove at 130 KM for most long drives that week, delightfull. As I was in the Heidelberg-Frankfurt area, 130 KPH was the max speed for the Autobahn.
