I hate hate hate hate hate that thing. Just looks like an old granpa cruiser to me now....maybe the V will be better.

Might as well buy one of these

But on the flip side, maybe it will keep my cars value up higher if that thing actually looks like turd in person too.

all the 09-13 V guys are hating that thing lol

TanTop94 · Mar 26, 2013

^^ What he said. Hopefully they will make the V more aggressive looking..and less luxury oriented. They cant stray back to that after its introduction as the fastest production sedan yes?

Wow! I like it but...They could of gone with a different hood, too close to the camaro ss hood and its not long enough to work with that induction, now if they just take that system off, raise the cowl to about an inch and they could even good some vent slits on the side of the hood..that wouldnt look to bad imho.

Hmm, that rear end looks like the current CTSV almost lol, car looks sinister...probably because its slammed and all black but that front end looks plain to me, needs something more, maybe a lower lip/spoiler type thing.

Not really a fan of that hood scoop, looks like something id see on a neon some mexican just stuck on from pep boys lol

But overall, better than the CTS.

I think theyre trying to make the ATS replace the CTS, and make the CTS a bit larger.

The ATS-V is rumored to have the TT 420HP V6 thats gonna be in the regular CTS.

Maybe it will see a power boost but that little car should be awesome with that motor.

sn95jones · Mar 26, 2013

Agreed that hood throws it way off definitely needs a cowl hood!
I had no idea the ATS came in rwd or awd. Considering it's Cadillacs version of the Chevy Cruze it has the 2.0 turbo option or the 3.6 V6.
Just read the 2014 CTS will have a twin turbo V6 version, 420HP ftw

Yep, an ATS-V AWD with that TT V6 would be sick...I dont think anything has been confirmed regarding whether or not the V model will have an AWD option.

The great thing about those factory turbo motors is that its SO EASY to get more power out of them.

My brothers got a 2012 Ecoboost f150 and a generic SCT 93 octane tune without even raising the peak boost the thing picks up like 55 hp and 110 ft lb of tq.

Just insane. We installed the tune last night and I swear its a mid 13 second truck now. lol

Those ATS's are sick lol. New CTS looks like a smaller XTS imo.

yep, exactly, they seem to be pushing the CTS towards the XTS status and want the ATS to take the place of the current CTS.

98BlackGT · Mar 26, 2013

i got all excited and thought this thread was for me gotta be more specific on which Justin

sn95jones · Mar 26, 2013

So far,*GM has confirmed three new*new*engine choices for the 2014 Cadillac CTS. For starters, today's base 3.0-liter V6 will be replaced by a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder, but horsepower will be up by about seven ponies to 272. It's the second-gen "Ecotec" unit found the ATS. A 3.6-liter V6 remains the step-up option, but will see a slight output bump to 321 horsepower. The big news is a new twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 said to be good for 420 horsepower. According to the company, the twin-turbo 3.6 is a comprehensive update of the naturally aspirated V6 with new block and head castings, strengthened connecting rods and pistons, redesigned direct-injection system, and a new intercooler setup. The company gives an estimated 0-60 time of 4.6 seconds for the turbo V6.No official word so far, but our moles think the hot-rod CTS-V will switch from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 to the new like-sized small-block V8 that's on tap for Chevrolet's next-gen Corvette. Twin turbos may be used to achieve something near the current 6.2's prodigious 556 horsepower, but Cadillac might settle for less than that in light of escalating federal fuel-economy standards. We've heard talk of a twin-turbo 3.6 V6 for the next V-series, though that might be seen as a bragging-rights deficit that marketers might object to. We think they'll go with the twin-turbo V8. If nothing else, the revised engine lineup will put the CTS on par for power ratings and cylinder counts with the vaunted 5-Series and other premium-midsize cars.Some of those cars also offer hybrid power. Would the 2014 Cadillac CTS follow suit? Though a 3.6 V6-based system is said to be on the agenda for Cadillac's new 2013 XTS premium-large sedan, our spies haven't mentioned a gas/electric option for the CTS--at least not yet. Even so, it seems all but inevitable, again because of rising fuel-economy targets. Assuming it doesn't launch for 2014, a hybrid CTS would probably materialize a year or two down the road as another of those "delayed introductions" that automakers often use to renew interest in a product after the initial buzz has subsided.As mentioned, the 2014 Cadillac CTS will maintain tradition with standard rear drive and available all-wheel drive, but note that AWD may be a first-time option for the potent CTS-V. So far, GM has confirmed two transmissions for the 2014 CTS. A 6-speed automatic with paddles shifters will return, on both rear- and all-wheel-drive cars. The new twin-turbo 3.6 will mate to a new 8-speed automatic, also with paddle shifters. As of this writing though, there's no official word which wheels will be powered by the twin-turbo 3.6 or of the 8-speed will mate to either of the engines. What about a manual? Again, no word yet but a 6-speed unit is offered for the current rear-drive base-engine CTS and the CTS-V. Though the "take rate" is doubtless low, a DIY gearbox is widely perceived as a sports-sedan bona fide. For that reason, we expect the manny-tranny will be listed for the new 2.0-liter four and redesigned CTS-V, but not 3.6 V6 models.It's a safe bet that the 2014 Cadillac CTS will reprise most all current-model features, though some options may shift to the standard column in line with the car's move upmarket in size and price. Though today's equipment list is quite long, it's missing several items that are increasingly common among rival luxury brands, suggesting that Cadillac will fill at least some of the gaps. Prospects include lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control with forward-obstacle detection and/or low-speed automatic braking, automatic and/or variable headlamp dimming, parallel-park system, and electronic variable-tint control for the available panoramic sunroof. The aforementioned CUE infotainment system will be a Cadillac exclusive, and there will doubtless be a few other such features, though we can't imagine what they might be.
