Sorry, but GM has a lonnngggggg history of putting form over function. The Gen 5 Camaro is the one that is most appropriate for this forum. The old CTS coupe was a joke. The ATS rear seat accommodations are absolutely horrid compared to a 3 Series or A4. I've been in too many of those discussions and watched the styling guys win.
Agreed. I would take a 2015 SS Sedan with a stick over any Cadillac product right now. None of the Caddy performance cars have AWD, the ATS-V did not get a V8, and the CTS-V has lost the manual transmission, not dropped enough weight, and the price creep is ridiculous.

As far as the SS Sedan, I don't like buying a 2008 car ( G8) in 2015, and spending $50k for the SS Sedan which is basically just a Camaro sedan is laughable. If I could buy a SS Sedan with a stick and a Camaro pricetag, there would be one in my driveway right now. If GM wanted to ask $47k for the SS Sedan, they needed to at least make the LS7 or LSA the only engine.

Crossing my fingers that the 2016 Camaro is worth giving up the 4 doors and rear seats that the SS Sedan offers.
