2014 Cadillac ATS Coupe Review
The long-awaited Cadillac ATS coupe will be introduced on January 14th during the 2014 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
A trio of engines will be available in the ATS coupe: a base four-cylinder, an upgrade to a 272-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder, or a smooth 321-horsepower V-6. A Tremec six-speed manual transmission is available, pairing nicely with the turbocharged four-cylinder for enthusiast corner carving duties; a six-speed automatic finds better companionship with the powerful V-6. A high-performance V series coupe may beef up the lineup as well but we will need to waite for the official release for more information on this.
Styling of the ATS coupe will be unique from the larger CTS coupe, which offers a long, flowing fast-back roof line. Judging from spy photographs, the ATS’s roof line will be more conservative.
The ATS coupe eventually may be the only two-door model offered by Cadillac. While the CTS four-door sedan was redesigned for the 2014 model year, the CTS coupe and station wagon were carried over from the 2013 model year with little or no change. Both are expected to be phased out. However, Cadillac has not announced when the CTS coupe and wagon will be dropped.
