Finally, Cadillac ATS enters the stage with a mid-range premium model at the Detroit Motor Show 2012. So, are they willing  to scare names such as BMW 3 Series or Audi A4, with the new ATS overseas?

After the Americans have shown that they can raise the level of a BMW 5 Series, behold, now at Detroit in 2012, the new Cadillac ATS announces its claims in the mid-range through saloon, which promises to make fried days to the BMW 3 Series.

From a visual standpoint, the new Cadillac ATS seems to have many assets: a sporty front end and full of temperament, a dynamic and modern profile and the rear of the car gives strength and elegance. Overall, the ATS is easily identifiable as a Caddy - brand which remains one of the symbols of luxury on four wheels to Americans.
Inside, the new Cadillac ATS is not an avant garde as the exterior, but remains a strong sporty, luxury associated with its success and the taste for premium sedan fans. Counting on symmetry, the center console is dominated by central touchscreen display of 5.7 inches. Passengers have plenty of room, thanks to the wheelbase of 2775 mm, slightly lower than the 3 Series, while the total length reaches to 4.64 meters.

The main point for the new Cadillac ATS is, however, the dynamics of the car. Thus, ATS has a very light structure, the total mass weighing is over 1.5 tonnes, which represents a very good value in its segment. With rear drive, the engineers have set the machine after intensive testing on the Nurburgring, obtaining a distribution of loads on bridges of 50:50.
