  • 2013 Cadillac ATS

    The new ATS has been a very successful car for Cadillac. In addition to racking up awards left and right (including nearly taking our 2013 Best Car To Buy award), the ATS has risen to become Cadillac's second-best-selling model behind the SRX, ahead of the larger XTS and CTS sedans. Soon, it may get a new coupe version to further stoke the fire. Rumors of coupe and wagon versions of the ATS have been brewing since before the car's official unveiling, but so far, little has come of the speculation. That may have changed last week. According to a report from GM Inside News, dealers were shown...
