sorry america, but u cant beat german cars & german technology, i might be faster than ///AMG or ///M3 in straight line, but in corners NO CHANCE, german car will remain better than american cars anyday
@SergeantVeteran big sarge they may just go with whats selling. the big barrell of oil burner v8s arent as popular any more. a turbo v6 is what the youngings want to buy and that is the target area of this "small" cadillac. the Grown ups have the cts-v. but a turbo of that vvt v6 3.7 could easily produce horsepower in the 420 range. thank you for your service.
I thought the XTS was supposed to compete with the 7 Series, and the CTS was supposed to compete with the 5 series. The CTS is about the same size as the 5 Series, is offered in manual, has about the same power, yet costs almost thirty grand less than the 5 Series.
@Lufthansa631 You would be correct, on all of your points. CTS will be more directly able to fight 5 series they say after it goes through a refresh/redesign soon.
@RossEnzo That confused me as well since XTS is a FWD/AWD car not a RWD/AWD sport sedan. I think they are a little off there. I think XTS is more the 7series and the next CTS will be more directly competeing with the 5 series.
@Bigtruckseriesreview this guy " bigtruckseriesreview" is a straight fucking loser. I always wondered why he goes ALL OVER the youtube videos on Cadillacs and leaves a negative comment every time. You are definitely too poor to own a Cadillac, and judging by how you spend your time- you're fuckin pathetic.
I think they should wait until the 2013 BMW M3 comes out and use it to build the ATS-V like they did with the CTS-V and M5, and like Ford did with the Boss 302. That way they ensure they get the right combination of weight, power, balance, and fuel economy
@boramkiv i agree!, and i'm pretty sure that that's exactly the way it's gonna be. they'll wait for the M3 first, and then dish out an insane V for the ATS.
Dear me! The car is LESS than 3,400 pounds! THAT'S BARELY HEAVIER THAN A ZR1! I cannot wait to see the ATS-V coming out to compete with the Corvette Zo6. And the V4 versions should be incredibly fuel efficient for it's kind. GM is releasing one of the best cars it had in decades, aside from the Cruze of course. If it was not for the Cruze, GM might have been bankrupt fully.
these cars just won't sell good in europe. These things are overloaded with plastic and cadillac always had weird handling. I believ they are improving, but I think they have a VERY long run before being able to compete with BMW, Audi, etc.
@LegendofStalfos Sorry but GM is still designing/building crap cars.The ATS' styling is decent,I'll give them that but its still GM junk.I'll stick with Audi thank you very much!
@SuperRegal79 Do have any proof that they're building crap cars other than your own biased opinion? And the same could be said for Audi considering they're not exactly the most reliable brand out there
@SuperRegal79 your username is regal? a Buick car name? GM is bring out the best they have had in years. Im sensing a lot of bias since you apparently miss your '79 regal
What I don't get is why does everyone call the XTS "GM's answer to the BMW 5-series". Isn't that what the CTS is for? So that would make the XTS a BMW 7-series competitor, wouldn't it?
He's wrong about that, the CTS is already supposed to compete with the 5-series. Why they developed the front drive XTS when the entire Buick range exists is beyond me. I guess they slapped a luxury body on the Impala platform to act as their flagship until they have a true full size rear drive luxury car like the S-class or A8, which apparently is still a few years down the road.
That is a badass looking car, but so far it's just a piece of artwork, it doesn't have any sort of drivetrain under it. If their full size flagship car is heavily based on it, it will be one sweet ride.
@Blackgam3r The ATS, CTS and XTS are not based on any Chevrolet models. Where did you get that information from? Each one is completely different, inside, outside and under the metal.
The rest of your statement is just about right, although the XTS is somewhere in between the 5 Series and 7 Series.
@Elmo187 That's true, but even when using a similar platform, the XTS is a whole lot different than the Malibu. Moreover, the CTS and Malibu aren't based on the same platform, nor do the ATS and Cruze share a platform. The current Impala has almost nothing in common with the XTS.
The size comparison makes sense. Everything else, not so much...
@AutoTribute The upcoming next generation Impala will be based on the XTS's stretched Epsilon II platform. Funny thing is, the only thing not staying faithful to the Impala name is that it'll be FWD. This thing will be 202" in length alone. That's 2" longer than the current Impala.
GM should have kept the Zeta platform around so they could use it for the next generation Commodore and Impala, while keeping it away from the next generation Camaro.
@Blackgam3r The ATS IS NOT Cruze based. It's based on a new platform called the Alpha. It's a smaller RWD platform that will be used for more RWD models in the future, including the next generation Camaro.
The CTS IS NOT based on the Malibu's platform. It is based on the Sigma platform, which is under most of GM's RWD offerings. It is RWD, not FWD.
The XTS is based on a stretched version of the Malibu's Epsilon II platform, which actually will be seeing duty under the next generation Impala.
It would be nice to see the ATS-V have AWD and a launch control like the GT-R, the V should also have some 8 way power adjustable/ temp controled rear seats
lighter.around 3400 pounds supposedly . gonna be building the camaro on this platform (iffff thats still in the picture) ..so i see nothing but SICK things coming.
This actually looks like a solid contender from GM in this class for the first time ever!
Lately the C class cars from BMW 3 series, and the Audi A4 have been getting FAT and sloppy in the handling department, we may have a surprise here when it comes to the most nimble, best handling car soon. I would have never thought it possible. But it is good because the Germans need to bring back the handling !
for some reason, i've always thought of this as the 5 series competitor and the CTS as the 3 series. i guess my eyes are very good at determining sizes of vehicles in pictures.
Not bad. Can't wait for the comparisons. Although you know the journalists are going to favor the 3 Series. But give kudos for Caddy for really going for the throat. It will take generations to prove themselves against the Germans but this is a start.
2003SCT ist ein TROLL 2003SCT είναι ένα TROLL 2003SCT là một Troll 2003SCT은 괴물이에요 2003SCTはTROLLです 2003SCT պետք է թողնել մարդկանց, մինչեւ որ նա մենակ ընտրանին սխալ անձի գնալ trolling իրենց մեկնաբանություններ
Until performance numbers are established, I don't think BMW has anything to worry about. As improved as this car may be, I doubt it is going to have a chassis a good as the 3 series. No turbo 6 cylinder option would count me out.
@c3vzn XTS is in its own class? You mean the class that BMW, and Merc already have with the 5GT and CLS? GM is still playing catch up and these models are all grotesque.
@c3vzn Haha you're funny. None of those will compete on the track. Look how top heavy they are. All looks and "Specs" on a sheet that wont mean shit when it comes to the drag race, or circuit. Nice try
I purchased an STS for my mother and I used to own an ESCALADE EXT until I swaped it towards and S550. CADILLACS ARE NO MATCH FOR GERMAN CARS.
thing is, they have enough exterior STYLE to make their own marks in the segments. Buying a Cadillac is buying a name and a style rather than buying performance. If you want performance, you have to buy a V-series or a Chrysler SRT model. Cadillac's interior quality PALES in comparison to Ze Germans.
The only thing I like is that it is RWD. Problem is, not many people can afford to buy a car that is this small. When people splurge, they splurge for a car that can do everything they need it to do. Hopefully Chrysler will make the 200c concept and give it RWD and a sub $20,000 price tag.
STUPID, STUPID, STUPID. I bought my mom an STS and trust me - the only place Caddy can rival BMW may be in mechanical problems. My mom just took her car in to have the heated steering wheel fuse and rear defogger checked.
I'm interested in the XTS, but, why the hell is Cadillac building anything smaller than the CTS? The CTS is already small. They need larger cars - LIKE CHRYSLER. Chrysler isn't having trouble selling Chargers or 300's.
@bigtruckseriesreview Because the CTS is a BIG car in the rest of the world, the 300 and Charger altough cool cars are almost exclusively sold in USA unfortunalty. I wish for Big Cadillac's aswell, tough the world can't fit big cars anymore...
@bigtruckseriesreview Because they're trying to take on BMW. It's not that Cadillac is having trouble selling their current models, but some people aren't content with just "not having trouble" selling their vehicles. Cadillac isn't out to be good, it's out to be great.
I own an SRT8 and an S550. I used to own an EXT and a 300 Limited. Cadillac is NO match for Audi, BMW or Mercedes in ANY WAY. The only thing making Caddy stand out is the polarizing exterior style. Their INTERIORS ARE SHIT. I considered buying a V-Coupe CTS (video on my page) but ended up buying my mother a fully loaded STS. Her STS is probably the best interior Cadillac currently has despite being geriatric. Problem is their electronics systems are worse than iDrive.
@bigtruckseriesreview Last time I checked CTS-V is doing a damn good job of beating out E63 and M5. My father has a V6 CTS and I agree there's some plasticy materials in there, but I still really dig what Cadillac has done since '08.
That's cause #1 The people buying Cadillacs are mostly old (older) so they don't need all that power and #2 Young people aspire to own a BMW or a Mercedes Benz. Cadillac hasn't produced a "must-have" car for my generation since the $75,000 Escalade and NONE OF MY GENERATION CAN AFFORD THAT.
Not to mention CADILLAC HAS SHITTY INTERIORS compared to the Germans. In fact, I'D RATHER SPEND MORE AND GET A JAGUAR XF/ XJ.
@bigtruckseriesreview haha ya right, how old are you anyway ? Arguing on youtube and capitalizing things, grow up, rookie. Californians want this car, not big series fag truck reviews
@bigtruckseriesreview Man just listen to yourself, learn to appreciate cars more without going into situations with the predisposition of "american cars suck" The CTS, and all of the new model Cadillacs since their face lift are genuinely good cars whether you want to admit it or not.
I'm not sure how old you are, but I'm 33 yrs young and I see a lot of geratric 80's yuppies that still think bmw and mercs are cooler that compare their cars to 10yr old older cadillacs ... I live about 10 mins from all three dealer lots, and $75k is how much a new beamer or merc cost (or more). And for the price of coach builder($10k tops) for more posh I'll still prefer Ferrari Magnaride handling w/more bhp in the new ATS(v too...?) any day for around $30k
I'm 33 years old too and come from a family that only buys American - typically Ford because their father worked for Ford many years ago. I personally hate Fords cause they are too small so I buy Chryslers.
Benz and BMW starts around $40K for small cars and make their way to $100,000 for the large sedans. My S550 cost $110,000 after taxes and dealer fees (loaded). A V8 Eclass or base CLS class is about $75,000.
Magneride handling isn't as good as an E/S/CLS suspension.
@bigtruckseriesreview Yeah you are right! *slaps you with my sarcasm slap* Magnetic Ride Control or MRC (not "Magneride) is so inferior to an E/S/CLS suspension system that Ferrari decided they didn't want to use the best so they used a version of Magnetic Ride Control instead on their car. *rolls eyes* Please shut up. I'm 28 and you sound a decade younger than me. Want me to prove it? Here goes: "I personally hate Fords cause they are too small so I buy Chryslers." #WTF?
@bigtruckseriesreview You love making stuff up, don't you? You did this quite a lot when you were on Autoblog. That and spam the crap out of your channel.
@bigtruckseriesreview You've been all over the ATS videos commenting negative bullshit. You don't like the ATS, yet you're spending your own free time spamming it's videos for the past 3 days, what's up with that ?
@bigtruckseriesreview You have issues with your eyes and you must have worn the feeling out of your hands if you think the STS is the best interior from Cadillac in recent years. We didn't even have the interior of the Chinese market STS and I'm appauled you made such a statement. I'm glad you admit Cadillac's "polarizing exterior style" has your attention. As far as you owning an EXT and making a case against Cadillac with it shows you to be a non-factor... #NEXT
palpitations in the corriders of munic ????? not bloody likely!! BMW 3 series is a true GLOBAL car that sells by the shipload!!! and Unless Caddy starts selling these ATS globally .... i dont think BMW is going to be all that worried
Hmm, I still don't think this car will sell well in the EU, no matter how good the technique is this time around. In this segment people look at the badge first and at the car second and Cadillac still has a pretty bad image here (thanks to pretty much every previous Cadillac). Lexus never really sold well here either and their cars are very good as well, same goes for Infiniti.
@flatblackstrat No, Cadillac never said the CTS was a C or 3 competitor. Every magazine that tested the vehicle did. Cadillac intended on doing what they did which was offer a closer in size to the 5 series sedan at a 3 series price.
Btw, I can't believe people like this man have my dream job. He failed at 1:25secs. The General's corporate V6 is 3.6L, NOT 3.7. Oh, and according to the presentation (can't believe I wasn't their and he was and missed this) the 3.6 is good for more than 320HP in this application. #Boom
When the CTS-V ripped the M5 a new one, only thing haters had to say was: Well its still an overweight pig. Now that the ATS is here and is lighter (dep on conf) I see those same people trying to throw salt in the comments here in a different way! Lol Get over it. The ATS is here to slap some faces. Starting with the 3!
@caddyman07 it beat out a car that went on sale since late 2004 as an 05. when the CTS-V went on sale in 2009. so it only took 4 years to come out with something competitive for a car that retired one year later. they're basically a generation behind the M series. so what's next, BMW comes out with another M5 and i am going to imagine that Caddy would just turn the boost up on the supercharger and call it a new model?
Ugly to expensive = GM will failure and sales aren't good already with Cadillac as it is the same with Buick franchise. Oh well not surprising GM fails at pretty much everything anyway. So how many more jobs did you cut and how many workers pay did you cut to get this vehicle in production? Did you also send the jobs over sea like most of the cars you build I know for certain that most of your engines and transmission aren't built here in the USA that's for sure.
@soyntgo4it Wow...its you again. Its amazing how you make Ford-loving comments and then go onto new GM car videos and make disparaging comments that can be said of Ford also. lol. We get it:You hate GM. Then again, I don't know why you make positive Ford comments as I remember you talking crap about them on the Land Rover video. I guess you are just confused as all get out or just have "lots of opinions about stuff" lol You ought to learn the difference between the word 'to' and the word 'too'.
@2003SCT I don't know why I'm commenting cause I'm just feeding the TROLLS. Umm how did I crap on the Rover video and why are you stalking me? You need to find better thIngs to do than stalk people on YOU-TUBE. I don't have to explain anything to you or what I do. So go screw yourself and mind your business.
@soyntgo4it Stalking you? lol. I read a number of comments made on RoadFly and InsideLine video subscriptions and like a moth to a flame, you are there making retard comments. I know you don't have to explain anything to me..most of your incoherent babble explains volumes by itself.
@2003SCT Ce que je fais aux trolls qui me gênent. Je vais écrire dans une langue différente de simplement les faire cesser et de repenser leur éducation les plus n'arrive pas à comprendre ce que je dis donc ça me fait rire que votre une personne stupide et nous ne pouvons pas fixer stupide. J'ai vraiment besoin d'apprendre à cesser de nourrir les trolls ughhh
Shocked at this guy comparing the XTS to a 5 series beamer. Know your stuff brother there's a lot of people that wish they were in your position don't drop the ball like that.
@Sampson712 The XTS is in the same segment as the 5 series, mid sized luxury. They don't have to be identical cars to be in the same segment. Now is the XTS a competent competitor to the 5 series?..... No.
@flatblackstrat Kinda confused 0:34 didn't he say ATS suppose to compete with 3 Series so then CTS suppose to compete with 5 Series so (XTS 5 Series)?
@ron20102002 Sorry, it is confusing. But basically this will be the 5 series competitor until the new CTS comes out which will actually be a real 5 series competitor I hope. I also made a mistake in my classifications, I didn't realize how big the XTS was. It's over 10 inches longer than a 5 series. It's a full size luxury vehicle. But it's more of a price bracket than a matter of size, just like the current CTS competes with the C class and not the E class.
@Sampson712 It was always a C class competitor, just larger, value option. It was never put in the same buyer segment as the 5, E, or A6. The new one on the other hand will be more of a real E class 5 series competitor since it will will get a bump in size. Also how do you figure they treated it as a 5 series competitor? It is a compact executive car while the 5 series is a midsize executive.

So, what happens to the CTS if this competes with the 3series and the other battles the 5series...where does the CTS fit in?
MrLook555 1 month ago
Not bad. Can't wait for the comparisons. Although you know the journalists are going to favor the 3 Series. But give kudos for Caddy for really going for the throat. It will take generations to prove themselves against the Germans but this is a start.

If they gave the standard ATS an available TT V6 with 330-350 hp and a V variant with 450+hp, Munich might get a little skurred.

Until performance numbers are established, I don't think BMW has anything to worry about. As improved as this car may be, I doubt it is going to have a chassis a good as the 3 series. No turbo 6 cylinder option would count me out.

Let me clear things up:
ATS will compete with the 3 series.
The CTS competes against the 5 series.
The XTS is in a class of its own in between a 5 and 7 series.
And a new RWD flagship will compete against the 7 series.

@c3vzn XTS is in its own class? You mean the class that BMW, and Merc already have with the 5GT and CLS? GM is still playing catch up and these models are all grotesque.

LET ME RECLEAR THINGS UP FOR YOU.
I purchased an STS for my mother and I used to own an ESCALADE EXT until I swaped it towards and S550. CADILLACS ARE NO MATCH FOR GERMAN CARS.
thing is, they have enough exterior STYLE to make their own marks in the segments. Buying a Cadillac is buying a name and a style rather than buying performance. If you want performance, you have to buy a V-series or a Chrysler SRT model. Cadillac's interior quality PALES in comparison to Ze Germans.
bigtruckseriesreview 1 month ago
The only thing I like is that it is RWD. Problem is, not many people can afford to buy a car that is this small. When people splurge, they splurge for a car that can do everything they need it to do. Hopefully Chrysler will make the 200c concept and give it RWD and a sub $20,000 price tag.
bigtruckseriesreview 1 month ago
STUPID, STUPID, STUPID. I bought my mom an STS and trust me - the only place Caddy can rival BMW may be in mechanical problems. My mom just took her car in to have the heated steering wheel fuse and rear defogger checked.
I'm interested in the XTS, but, why the hell is Cadillac building anything smaller than the CTS? The CTS is already small. They need larger cars - LIKE CHRYSLER. Chrysler isn't having trouble selling Chargers or 300's.
bigtruckseriesreview 1 month ago
@bigtruckseriesreview Because the CTS is a BIG car in the rest of the world, the 300 and Charger altough cool cars are almost exclusively sold in USA unfortunalty. I wish for Big Cadillac's aswell, tough the world can't fit big cars anymore...
CDTbossy 1 month ago
@bigtruckseriesreview Because they're trying to take on BMW. It's not that Cadillac is having trouble selling their current models, but some people aren't content with just "not having trouble" selling their vehicles. Cadillac isn't out to be good, it's out to be great.
Sampson712 1 month ago
@Sampson712
I own an SRT8 and an S550. I used to own an EXT and a 300 Limited. Cadillac is NO match for Audi, BMW or Mercedes in ANY WAY. The only thing making Caddy stand out is the polarizing exterior style. Their INTERIORS ARE SHIT. I considered buying a V-Coupe CTS (video on my page) but ended up buying my mother a fully loaded STS. Her STS is probably the best interior Cadillac currently has despite being geriatric. Problem is their electronics systems are worse than iDrive.
bigtruckseriesreview 1 month ago
@bigtruckseriesreview Last time I checked CTS-V is doing a damn good job of beating out E63 and M5. My father has a V6 CTS and I agree there's some plasticy materials in there, but I still really dig what Cadillac has done since '08.
Sampson712 1 month ago
@Sampson712
NOT IN SALES IT AIN'T.
That's cause #1 The people buying Cadillacs are mostly old (older) so they don't need all that power and #2 Young people aspire to own a BMW or a Mercedes Benz. Cadillac hasn't produced a "must-have" car for my generation since the $75,000 Escalade and NONE OF MY GENERATION CAN AFFORD THAT.
Not to mention CADILLAC HAS SHITTY INTERIORS compared to the Germans. In fact, I'D RATHER SPEND MORE AND GET A JAGUAR XF/ XJ.

I'm not sure how old you are, but I'm 33 yrs young and I see a lot of geratric 80's yuppies that still think bmw and mercs are cooler that compare their cars to 10yr old older cadillacs ... I live about 10 mins from all three dealer lots, and $75k is how much a new beamer or merc cost (or more). And for the price of coach builder($10k tops) for more posh I'll still prefer Ferrari Magnaride handling w/more bhp in the new ATS(v too...?) any day for around $30k
agentwo975 1 month ago
@agentwo975
I'm 33 years old too and come from a family that only buys American - typically Ford because their father worked for Ford many years ago. I personally hate Fords cause they are too small so I buy Chryslers.
Benz and BMW starts around $40K for small cars and make their way to $100,000 for the large sedans. My S550 cost $110,000 after taxes and dealer fees (loaded). A V8 Eclass or base CLS class is about $75,000.
Magneride handling isn't as good as an E/S/CLS suspension.
bigtruckseriesreview 1 month ago
@bigtruckseriesreview Yeah you are right! *slaps you with my sarcasm slap* Magnetic Ride Control or MRC (not "Magneride) is so inferior to an E/S/CLS suspension system that Ferrari decided they didn't want to use the best so they used a version of Magnetic Ride Control instead on their car. *rolls eyes* Please shut up. I'm 28 and you sound a decade younger than me. Want me to prove it? Here goes: "I personally hate Fords cause they are too small so I buy Chryslers." #WTF?

Hmm, I still don't think this car will sell well in the EU, no matter how good the technique is this time around. In this segment people look at the badge first and at the car second and Cadillac still has a pretty bad image here (thanks to pretty much every previous Cadillac). Lexus never really sold well here either and their cars are very good as well, same goes for Infiniti.

When the CTS-V ripped the M5 a new one, only thing haters had to say was: Well its still an overweight pig.

Starting with the 3!
caddyman07 1 month ago
@caddyman07 it beat out a car that went on sale since late 2004 as an 05. when the CTS-V went on sale in 2009. so it only took 4 years to come out with something competitive for a car that retired one year later. they're basically a generation behind the M series. so what's next, BMW comes out with another M5 and i am going to imagine that Caddy would just turn the boost up on the supercharger and call it a new model?

Ugly to expensive = GM will failure and sales aren't good already with Cadillac as it is the same with Buick franchise. Oh well not surprising GM fails at pretty much everything anyway. So how many more jobs did you cut and how many workers pay did you cut to get this vehicle in production? Did you also send the jobs over sea like most of the cars you build I know for certain that most of your engines and transmission aren't built here in the USA that's for sure.

ron20102002 1 month ago
@ron20102002 Sorry, it is confusing. But basically this will be the 5 series competitor until the new CTS comes out which will actually be a real 5 series competitor I hope. I also made a mistake in my classifications, I didn't realize how big the XTS was. It's over 10 inches longer than a 5 series. It's a full size luxury vehicle. But it's more of a price bracket than a matter of size, just like the current CTS competes with the C class and not the E class.

@flatblackstrat Cadillac has always treated the CTS and CTSV as a 5 series competitor.
Sampson712 1 month ago
@Sampson712 It was always a C class competitor, just larger, value option. It was never put in the same buyer segment as the 5, E, or A6. The new one on the other hand will be more of a real E class 5 series competitor since it will will get a bump in size. Also how do you figure they treated it as a 5 series competitor? It is a compact executive car while the 5 series is a midsize executive.
