Cadillac Axes ATS Sedan - Promises A Replacement

Yesterday, we brought you the latest evidence that Cadillac’s ATS sedan will disappear from the market a year before its coupe sibling bites the dust. While a message sent to General Motors initially proved fruitless, dawn brings confirmation that Cadillac’s smallest offering will ditch the four-door format at the end of the current model year.

How about making the CT5 the replacement for the ATS and CTS and putting the CT5 out at the ATS price?

There should NOT be a small Cadillac.

The ATS was basically a Cadillac clown car. I drove past a guy driving in his ATS 4-door today and the poor guy had the drivers seat pushed all the way back and it looked like he was sitting in the back seat. What a crappy car! Good riddance.

I agree. I just don't get why GM thought inhospitable rear seats were a good idea for Cadillac. The ATS could easily be had for 20% off which would have been a better starting price for how downmarket it was.

But I find the Jaguar XE equally disappointing.

I had a 2013 3.6 and loved it. Yes the back seat was tight but we only transported people in it 1 or 2 times. However as this was pointed out constantly and GM sells a longer version, the ATS-L in China its just stupid they didn’t build it here as well. That decision reminds me of old GM which seemingly made bad decision after bad decision.
