It's over priced for the assumed value of the car, which is why the ATS and CTS aren't selling. If people don't think Cadillac products are on par with the Europeans, they won't pay European type cash to buy them.

Exactly my point. Even though they have a solid product offering; Cadillac sales were down last year in a segment that was up. The new CEO purposely set their prices higher to be in line with the market segment. IMO they need to lower their prices to bring more attention to their brand; similar to what Lexus did years ago. Earn the buyers first then charge the premium as the brand and reputation is established.

Car loans and student loans. Hope you all like them, we are all going to "pay" for them. Third fiing bubble in my lifetime, it's getting silly.

GM had it's shot at being the "under priced" luxury brand and it didn't work. Now the only play left is superior product at competitive pricing.

Not a 2016, but tail lights look good tinted.

See any similar pieces? (x-pipe, frame etc.)
Motor Trend is testing the ATS-V this week. Carlos Lago posted this and some other pictures to Instagram.
https://instagram.com/p/0qGqm5BYUo/?taken-by=clago6 I found the unknown hollow piece! Looks like the ATS-V rear suspension link in the Instagram photo. I do see some similarities in the teaser pictures and I love the underpinned aero panels. Expect a review on the Motor Trend YouTube channel sometime soon.

It's freakin' absurd that GM thinks it can sticker-price a 2.5L ATS above a 320i. Sure, they CAN do it, but no one should be shocked when ATS sales are pathetic (and, sadly, they are). The only way GM beats the established players (i.e., the Germans) in this segment is by offering MORE car for LESS money. If you try to offer "JUST AS GOOD" for the SAME money, you lose. And that's what's happened to the ATS. If the 2.0T had been the base engine in the ATS, and it had started at the magic $30K level, I honestly think that the ATS could have been a major success for GM. Alas, it was not to be. |
