What is happening with ATS is it is being replaced by an evolutionary product that will not carry the same name. To some of the press, particularly the broader press that is NOT car-centric, “Cadillac is dropping the ATS”. To those pressers who dig just a little deeper...”Cadillac is discontinuing the ATS that is built on the Alpha architecture. Its replacement will be a new vehicle, following the new Cadillac naming convention. This replacement is expected to be built off of the improved Alpha 2 architecture”

Nothing's wrong with it really. It's just a luxury car and luxury cars depreciate like hell to begin with, plus ATS has found its way into rental fleets which never helps resale value.

Thanks for the comments guys. I guess I just expected a Caddy to hold it's value a little better than that. Saw a lot of complaints on the 2.0T, something about piston failure, and the Cue/touchscreen was garbage. I just noticed the CTS's are in the same price range as well for used. Looks like I'm gonna drive one of those today as well.

Any other suggestions are welcomed in my price range. Prefer something with all wheel drive. |

Forgot about Impalas, I'll take a look.
EDIT: That's got to be one of the ugliest steering wheels in the business. |

XTS? Everyone likes to dump on it because it's supposedly reminiscent of the "old GM's Cadillac" just because it's FWD based, but it's an excellent car.

I finally settled on an 08 G8 GT... It wasn't a manual transmission like the GXP or SS i wanted, but the cost was justifiable. I paid 16,650 private party for my first G8 GT about 3 years ago with 72k miles on it. I sold it a month ago for 14k with just under 100k miles on it. Paid the loan off on the car, and had about 8k left in my pocket. I just picked up another 08 G8 GT last week for $6500 w/ 132k on it, but only 30k on a brand new engine. drives like a dream, its a total cream puff too Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is if you like the SS, consider a G8 GT, you can get one of the lower mileage ones for your price range, buddy of mine just paid 18k for a 09 with 60k miles on it. With the money you'll save on the G8 GT vs the GXP or SS, you can spend some cash on mods and make it just as fast, or faster if you're into that kind of thing. That's how I was able to justify it lol |

For sure I test drove the heck out of a 15' yesterday with only 23,000 miles. Only wanted 17k for it. Seemed like a good car. I'm just trying to weed out the lemons and increase my chances of getting one that lasts. Also eyeing CTS's now since they are going for around the same. But I like something a little smaller.

XTS and Impala are basically identical in dimensions, cabin and trunk space, etc....Same platform and drivetrain, I believe...Cadillac offers more luxury appointments of course, but pretty sure they are almost identical otherwise....
XTS offers FWD and an AWD version, though...V-6 Impala does not have start-stop or cylinder de-activation... |
