Very well informed product specialist! He answers without hesitation and explains in detail. Awesome!
Those that dislike American cars have to admit cadillac is doing it right. These things look great and I'm sure they'll perform great also. Now that the ATS-V is revealed we have an idea of what the CTS-V is gonna look like, I can't wait I'm freakin pumped!
first V's that i would actually consider buying over a german sedan, if the price is right
Cadillac is doing it right? LAUGH MY FUCKING ASS OFF
OMGKainz Care to share what they're doing wrong as far as the cars go? I won't disagree completely,some of the stuff de Nysschen is pulling at corporate (see changing the name scheme, moving the headquarters, etc.) doesn't strike me quite right. But if Cadillac keeps producing cars like the ATS, CTS, and their respective V-series entries, they're going to have a very solid base from which to poach market share from the Germans.
TheIrishSpectre i can't speak for this 2015 line yet but in the past looking at old ctsv's and escalades the quality of a car that you get for the price you pay is ridiculous. you pay the same price for a high end Mercedes you can be sure it will last a whole lot longer and the quality of European cars are way better american cars for example, the gear box on a 2006 ctsv makes me want to kill myslef compared to a c63 amg
Im a die hard bmw fan and agree this car loos very promising. Might have to test drive one when it gets here. Im still waiting for the C63 and ATS-V to make a purchase decision to replace the old e92 m3.
DAMNNNN That blue 4 door looks so much better. Got to love Caddy.
True. It's awesome.
Excellent spokesperson for Cadillac. Very informative and to the point - he answers questions with data real car people want to know.
Thanks for all the exclusive updates! Keep up the Great Work.
Cadillac has really transformed into a bad-ass brand!
The ATS-V and the RC-F is like Michael Douglas and Ken Takakura in Black Rain. Two will be a potent "Eurokiller"
Haha, the Rc-F is no eurokiller.
CTS-V sedan in gray might be my next ride.
The Lac is making a comeback. That's for sure!
I love my ctsv coupe but this is just magnificent. Another win for Cadillac.
TFLCar is awesome!
SO glad they developed this car. Well done, Cadillac.
The no-lift shift sounds interesting, we will see if it works well.
Wow wow wow! Love the V.
I'm surprised GM was able to make this ATS-V so good looking.
This platform is what the 2016 Camaro is gonna use.
185mph with 455hp, I can't wait 2 see the LT-4 ZL1 on this platform.
yeah the new camaro should beat the much to heavy stang. Ford failed this time.
kubanskiloewe IDK why ford packed on 200lbs
weight is gonna be the hellcat and mustangs downfall.
Sanic
some older stangs with the 5.0 coyote (stock) are still faster than this new 15.
i wait for new camaro, interior has to be much improved.
kubanskiloewe I watch that 1320 vid.
14 GT pulled away from a 15.
One of the best people you guys have interviewed. Andre, you did well, but that track width question pissed him off. Btw, I saw it second on the fast lane car.
audi r5s? DKM.
You mean the RS5, other than that great informative video, cadillac is really stepping there stuff up, wonderful car!
I'm falling in love with Cadillac!
Oh yes, I need this!!!
Amazing product and without a doubt it will be a terror! Think of what the previous models from Cadillac could do with weight. Now think of what they will do being very light on their feet. Also I can not wait to see that Gen3 magnetic ride will be able to do.
TRACK CAPABLE RIGHT OFF THE FLOOR
Gorgeous car!
Amazing car
SIX SPEED MANUAL?!?!?! I am very intrigued, this could be a winner.
The guy being interviewed did a good job - lots of detailed info
Whats the tuning potential for the TT v6?
How come the sedan doesn't have the same skirts as the Coupe? It has the c/f splitter but not the skirt ? o.o
cant wait till a comparison vs the m4 and s4 God bless America
fuck, now i want to trade my M3 in for this.
anyone... weight dist???? and vehic weight???
I'm just curious as to why it took them so long to build this car. The biggest problem with American auto manufacturing has to be stagnate management. In addition to poor design studios. They have shown for decades that quality was never something they sought for, only maximum profit on the least amount of expenditures. Our own magazines, Car & Driver, Road & Track, Motor Trend, amongst others have always pointed out the biggest flaws in American cars. Those articles always seemed to have fallen on deaf ears.
Quality build, enticing design characteristics, and bold performance are not topics normally associated with American cars. It's finally nice to see that, yes, we too can build something that gets the blood pumping. The new Mustangs, and Camaro's, have improved tenfold over previous generations. The new Stingray is also a daring product, like the Caddy. But, after decades of building crap, finally building a few nice cars for a few years is not long enough to remove the stigma that has shrouded the American automotive industry. I hope to see an overall improvement in the final product of our vehicles, so that ours can be compared to the best of theirs, and stand proud.
In my opinion, most American cars have improved tremendously in the last four years or so. It wasn't long ago that the number of American cars I'd be caught dead in could be counted on one hand. Now the only new models I lust are all American cars. I can honestly say that my next car will be American, but I will have a tough time deciding between a GM, Ford or Chrysler because they are all putting out fresh, attractive new models that are very competitive and capable of raising more than a few peoples pulses. I also could name a lot more American cars than you did that are very competitive in their segments and look and perform just as good as the competition. It seems almost every week a new American car is introduced that I just have to have (i.e. this week Cadillac ATS-V, last week Corvette Z06). European and Japanese is just blahhh, same old same old. I currently own two newer Japanese cars.
That looked like the Audi guy in the background? Doppelganger or switched jobs? Looking forward to testing this one... Might be in my driveway if the price is right, though I don't love the shiny center console or the steering wheel.
If it was between the ATSV a and the GT350 I would really be undecided.
Though I hope Ford doesn't make the GT350 very limited so its price doesn't end up high like the ATSV.
If it is not ridiculously expensive, I hope to have that as my next car.
"id challenge anyone to try and fade the brakes" id gladly accept that challenge
If only it had the LT1 motor from the C7... That would be quite amazing.
The hood's upper dome and inlets cheapen the look to me, but that's an easy swap for an otherwise awesome car. The Vsports handle 20lbs or 500/480 on a stock block, so fingers crossed...
Lincoln's coming. I luv mine to. I spank m3 m5 daily. I live in an area where I can't count all the Bentley's there's so many.
Better yet these are the building blocks for the upcoming Buick Grand National/GNX.
I don't have kids, but I'm going to go have a son so I can trade him for that car.
Hahahah
You need to stop lmfao!!
I have two kids myself. Wonder if that will get me the upgraded Recaro seats as well.
brian betha wasn't a joke.
brian betha well no, I'm a person, but I'm using a dick to impregnate my wife for some sweet slave trade money in 9 months, which is about when this comes out.
2:32 looks almost exactly like the side profile of an E92 335i...
This is faster than the GTR when it was introduced but looks far better
Audi R5S hahaha. I really want to see a smash up with those 3. ATS-V, M3/M4, and the Merk AMG
Be honest I still wanna see a V8 under the hood. LS7 or even LT1 would be great.
Wow
Looks like a hot wheel version of the base ATS
I'd prefer the ATS-Coupe with the LT1 naturally aspirated V8. The upcoming Camaro SS, if they nail the styling, will therefore be my choice. Can someone explain the use of the V6 turbo here over the cylinder deactivated LT1? Fuel mileage would look to be similar, output, the V8 would offer more torque and slightly better horsepower. How do the two engines compare in terms of production costs?
I don't know about you, but this looks like a souped-up, 2-door CHEVY CRUZE!
and wasn't the CTS originally M3 rival???
If those numbers are true and the handling is great then we might just have the best performance cadillac ever made.
HOW MUCH PRICING??????
Oudi R5S lol...
i wanna see this in a match up with the m3
M4*
I want to see the 2015 Chrysler 300
Thanks for the comment. Please stay tuned. That video is still being edited.
+The Fast Lane Car
The new benchmark. I love bmw but they lost its touch!
I am on my second owned bmw and its good with performance . But to own one cost a lot more than you can think . Any fix have to be done by bmw because its completed for regular mechanic . Its like they start to give problem just as the warranty run out . Take it from me, someone who only drive BMW for the past 9 years. I am much older and alot mature now to deal with all that bs .
I LOVE Cadillac ATS-V ...
MY DREAM CAR
I really appreciate the videos that you make, but please tone down the loud and irritating music.
coming in awd?
"M, AMG and RS are just TWO that come to mind". LOL just kidding
I don't know what you mean by RS, he clearly said the R5S was the competitor.
Bob Hope
Listen to the first 20 seconds of the video
*****
And who exactly are you talking about? If you're referring to me since this is a reply on my original post, then where do you get the impression that I'm a "cadillac expert"???? Firstly, my post had NOTHING to do with anything Cadillac. It was simply poking fun at something Roman said. Secondly, I AM AN AUDI OWNER. Thirdly, do you have ANY IDEA what my original post was even talking about? SMH
***** You're an idiot.
*****
Well, clearly is says enough to you that you felt the need to respond to it
End of second quarter next year? That gives all the other car manufactures the time to emulate the technology before it even goes on sale. I hate it when they announce cars so far ahead of time. They are doing it with the Zo6 too.
It takes an enormous amount of time for auto manufacturers to implement changes to a specific model. They have to design, test, change the assembly process etc... Plus the competition only knows as much as we know about the car since they only have information based on media coverage and photos.
Why isn't there a CTSV With a V8 in it?!?
Wait for detroit with the all new camaro
That is a small cat you need to achieve a good weight balance throughout the vehicle to keep from having to something crazy with the suspension set up and to prevent the crazy understeer from putting some huge v8 upfront.... this car wouldn't have the same track prowess with a v8
Michelin PSS on it :)
Ah! This is the 2016 ATS-V not CTS-V. Confused there for a second..
Ahh, I remember when Cadillacs were for old people.
AWesome car! Lose the dam shark fin antenna!!! It kills the sleekness!
OK, where is mine?
Are Cadillac good cars that last long
ATS V should be priced at around $55k to be competitive with Ze Germans. Cadiallc has to exceed the performance of their rivals and do it at a nice discount if they want this to be successful. I'd be a buyer if it can be had nicely equipped for sub $60k.
I'm willing to bet it will exceed the performance of the competition at a lower price. We will soon see :-))
You forgot to mention 'SRT'
I still see rental car plastic on the horn on the steering wheel. That sucks....
First cc
That dash and those dials look cheap compared to what the rest of the brand offers...I'd like to see the same LCD display for the dials that are in the CTS and XTS
This is the best american car company gm cadilica division... Lincoln suck and ford suck
***** More importantly, where is it up? Can you describe the smell?
As a GM fanboy, ford does not suck, I have a lot of respect for what they are doing there since Mulally came in, but they do need to upgrade Lincoln. Lincoln seems to be following Japanese luxury behavior, which is just a upgrade from base Honda, Toyota, nissan
***** It made zero sense to you....not to others, hence the +1's.
I was joking that your nose seems to be so far up GM's backside That I'd think it would be hard to see anything other than GM's colon and hard to ignore the smell.
P.S. punctuation improves communication. (and hints at intelect)
matthew clouser Different type of engine dumbass. Lmao what. one is ohv other is dohc
thevinceberry OHV? You mean like they use to do in the 1950's? Cool, I like classic cars too, what does OHV have to do with engines designed in the last 50 years? * *tongue firmly in cheek* *
I hate the long throw shifter I see in the video already and I have not even driven it. Why does GM force us V drivers to have to go aftermarket every damn time!
CTS-V Looks Wayyyyy Better!
it's a beautiful car but for that price i'd rather take the Lexus RCF or the MB C63 AMG S Coupe.
What is it and cadillac maling shit styling cars? I mean the lights for instance, is this just an American thing which Americans like? And generally you see over the top chrome in American cars too.
the uh... audi r5s?
Audi R5S
audi r5s lol......
Owning a GM is like having a gorgeous women with a chronic yeast infection. Even Vernon price would understand that.
Wtf V6
Ha ha
Those outdated gauges gotta go...
I can't believe this guy's is taking shots at BMW. Cadillac is a good brand but saying comments about the brake package is pretty. Just one of a few cheap shots. The brakes that the other brands like BMW offer aren't too make it track ready. They are to make it so you don't go through brakes everyone you decide to hit the track. And a twin turbo 6 cylinder? There isn't anything about the ats or cts v that seem to be GM ideas. GM should focus on something else BMW doesn't focus on them at all. They aren't seen as competition.
Exactly the only one of their ideas on the CTS-V was the pushrod V8. But now GM is going the turbocharged route. GM just copies what other companies are doing. Their 2.0T for example was heavily copied from Saab and so on... Saab actually developed many chassis components for the newer Epsilon cars too. GM isn't original like it used to be. GM just copies companies now and it's kind of sad. They started getting greedy and money hungry in the 80's when their build quality was really terrible and then in 2000 they fully purchased Saab and they've been copying mocking other European companies since then.
***** every car company has jumped onto the turbo bandwagon. GM was just a little late. they really weren't "copying" with the turbo v6 idea
Lincolnlsgt GM is copying forced induction turbocharging in general. GM actually did it first but their system was not very good and then Saab began creating systems like blow off valves and such and it really took off. Saab were the ones who should really get the credit because they made the systems like we still do to this day and Saab really did much more development work on it. Audi copied soon after and then every automaker started doing it. Saab technology is based on Scania systems by the way.
Right. What makes this 3.6T different then their 2.0T's is that it was 100% designed by GM themselves. Previous turbocharged power plants implemented so much Saab technology it was ridiculous. But now GM seems to be separating themselves from that, which is good. However the 2.0T and Epsilon architectures as well as their 6 spd manual on Opels and such still remain very Saab influenced.
Lincolnlsgt
Late lol? gm had the FIRST EVER production turbo car and it was 1962. If anything every other company was late to the party. I guess that means they all copied GM.
***** yea...but how many did they produce AFTER that? exactly. yes they did it first, but they never really expanded on it. import companys have been doing it religiously for 20+ years now, while american car companies would throw in a turbo every now and then just for fun.
Nice car, but I hope it comes with an automatic. The combination of a Cadillac and a manual transmission is an oxymoron to me. So, to all you purists, I do not shift any car costing over $10,000, it ain't happening.
The auto is a option.
It's too bad that you want the car to do the driving for you. Real car enthusiasts always want a manual. That's why my CTS-V has a manual.
I absolutely hate the interior of this thing, but I'll probably end up buying this over an M3. That plastic coated piano black center console and CUE system suck royally. That plastic is going to scratch like a mofo from anything that touches it... just like all plastics.
Wow they essentially copied the m3 and m4. Now let's see if they can hang off the paper.
if u ask me twin turbo just sounds like twin problems, go back to real natural horsepower, no superchargers, no turbos, no nitro just all engine trust me u wont be dissapointed..
EPA regulations. Cars are required to meet regulatory standards for emissions and MPG, which is why they're all going forced induction now. But no, twin turbos are not twin problems. This isn't the 1980s any more.
Looks nice, just those' GM interiors are awful....
Most of the ideas are taken directly from the m4! Wtf Cadillac!? And it looks heavy! Even though GM are saying this will "destroy the m4", I doubt it highly because there's no way this will be as good to drive as the corvette and as said by evo magazine and auto blog Netherlands " the can just has too much roll, too much dive, weak chassis and bad gearbox! It's a win win for BMW as of now!!
Where have you been all these years. Cadillac ATS and CTS are outhandling BMW and the competition. You are just a bias BMW fanboy, lol.
johnls39 lol no! Read auto expresses review of the ats, as said by auto express "the ats coupe is not as sharp as the 4 series!" And also as said by Matt Farah him self, "for this kind of money, I'd rather have the BMW"! So you're just a Cadillac fanboy who can't accept the truth!
Pranav Mukesh Yes, you are right, I am a Cadillac fanboy but I am not loyal to any brand same as for Cadillac. I like Luxury cars in general. What I am saying is, which I should had said before, that the ATS Coupe had raved reviews and almost all critics said that the ATS Coupe handled better than the German competition. Now keep in mind before saying other wise that the ATS coupe have two different suspension setup, stock and magnetic ride control suspension, which is only available on the Premium collection. Auto Express probably had the ATS with the stock suspension or they did not use all of the modes on the Magnetic Ride Control suspension like some critics who are more bias towards the German brands. So therefore, you are in denial. Read up on the other ATS reviews and see for yourself.
johnls39 yes the american auto journliasts have proved biased once again! And no it was the magnetic ride equipped ats! And even auto bild has said the ats is not as good as the standard 3 or 4 series!
The Cadillac is about 150lbs heavier.
450hp 6.2l twin turbo lol this motors not even working yet. Theyre just begging you to crank up the boost.
Michael Dillon The engine is a 3.8l TTv6, not a v8.
Michael Dillon Sorry about the typo......it's a 3.6l TTv6.
Oh lol that makes more sense thanks
Gauges are disgusting...
Your all pole smokers. USA cars rule.
Beautiful car but unfortunately not reliable ,GM is form over function, guantity over quality standards, but they sure look nice. Does a tow truck and mechanic come with purchase?
JD Power said Cadillac is the 3rd most reliable brand in the world. More reliable than almost all German and Japanese companies. You seem to be stuck in the past when Cadillacs weren't reliable. It's not the 1980s any more.
Vernon, I respect your opinion, yet must tell you I myself ? current owners particularly of the CTS 5 years or newer and found reliability is of the 80's, if you currently own a GM or soon will I wish you the best of luck.
Car Deologist I own a 2011 CTS-V with 70k miles on it, and it's fine. no problems, no squeaks or rattles, no nothing. It's solid, it's quiet, it's reliable, I drive it every day. Considering my experience is vastly superior to yours. Does that change your opinion? It should, if you are open minded enough to accept proof that contradicts your opinion.
If not, then you're just irrationally biased and your opinion is based on misinformation.
I am surprised and feel you are very lucky,I wish you the best of luck with your CTS-V it's a beautiful car one of my favorites for sure. You should play the lottery with the luck you have had with it.
By the way I also am a previous owner of 3 GMs as late as 2008. I took very good care of them no abuse etc. Maybe they straightened their act up since then but not in my opinion, but I doubt it.
american cars are hopeless..
this thing looks sick what are you talking about?
You have all your specs wrong. It’s 0-60 it’s top speed it’s hp. Garbage channel…
the coupe is so ugly
wow , cant wait to get this one in 2019 when ill be able to afford it ahahahh
