Cadillac ATS, What's what.

Everyone, but the Germans seem to like the all new Cadillac ATS. Even Top Gear liked it! They hate Cadillac! The Sedan model is GM's first real attempt for Cadillac to compete with the BMW 3-Series. The new ATS comes with a natural aspirated 2.5-Liter 4-cylinder, a 2.0-Liter Turbo 4-Cylinder and the original V6 from the CTS.  By now, your already know there going to make a V model, a coupe, a wagon and a convertible model. I've done some searching on Google and i've found rendering for all of these except the convertible. Yesterday i showed you the rendering of the V model from Top Speed.
I absolutely hope this is 90% true. The next M3, which would be the main competitor for the ATS-V will have a twin-turbo V6, so obviously the ATS V will also have a twin-turbo V6. That doesn't sound like much does it? To make it sound right you have to remember the Porsche 911 Turbo has a turbo-charged 6 cylinder engine as well.
I'd perfer the same supercharged V8 as the CTS-V but that's staying in the CTS. This artist rendering a new top grill, similar to the CTS-V and a more smoothed out bottom grill. This rendering has been given a more aggressive V style front bumper with smaller fog lamps. Around the side a small lower body kit has been added for looks and maybe aerodynamics.

Now, what about the coupe?
Here is another artist rendering(s) of what the ATS coupe would look like. The bottom 3 are the most likely to be close to the actual production model. The front door has been enlarged and made longer. The rear door has been removed (obviously) and new rims that are un-realistically large. The coupe would have the same engine options as the sedan, and the V model

What about about the convertible? It's just a coupe with no roof, so just imagine the bottom coupe rendering here with a folding automatic soft top.

What about the wagon?

Exactly same as the sedan, except amazingly this rendering looks better then the normal sedan! That's just my opinion though. Only difference is the trunk has been replaced by a wagon, as it is a wagon..
Here's the rear end!
God, that just destroys the CTS wagon looks..
