Ok let’s just call it 34k. I like the Cadillac ATS and at 34k it’s not bad, but you aren’t getting much. That’s the base model with the 200hp 2.5 Automatic. If you want the turbo which makes 270k you are up to 35k and if you want the V6 with AWD well you are in the neighborhood of 42k. I don’t want to be to harsh here but screw that. I guess I’m getting old because I’m at the point where I’m complaining about the cost of things all the time, but quite frankly we the consumer and especially we the car buy are getting bent over by the big car companies these days. 42k a few years ago bought you a Vette. Now it buys you a V6 family sedan a nice one but still. This news makes me miss the Pontiac G8 even more. Anyway, the ATS is priced pretty close to the Germans and in some trims cheaper it will be interesting to see how that translates in sales. No official word on a ATS V yet but considering it will push well north of 50k I’m not sure I’m that interested any more.
