ATS Coupe put on hold.

So i was browsing by subscriptions on youtube and this came up.



This kinda sucks but i do understand to make a better product but not to increase share value. How is this supposed to compete with the 3series bmw. Well just gives me more time to save for ATSV coupe

This is a mistake, I would atleast still offer the coupe version. Granted a wagon would only sell in Europe assuming Europeans would buy the ATS. But here in the states it should atleast be a sedan, coupe and a V variant of both versions.

As long as they don't put the V on hold I'm fine.

Cadillac spokesperson just said essentially that MotorTrend is full of it.

I want a coupe. No, maybe the sedan. No wait... a convertible would look sweet! :seesaw:

Wait, did somebody say wagon?

Coupes don't sell all that well, and convertibles fare far even worse.

And they never comment on anything unless it's worth it...

I wonder who MotorTrend's "sources" are...

Supplier scoffing:

"BMW's going to put their next model, after they see the ATS coupe, on hold!"

What did little man hear?

"...ATS coupe on hold!"

**scurries out of the building to call MotorTrend**

Well close to mid decade is a decent time to wait i guess but still i dont think that anything should be put on hold if u wanna compete with the 3series. The more i look at the ATS the more i am loving the look of it. Car and driver had a underbody pic of the ATS turbo model that was quite interesting.
