When the ATS was revealed, the Detroit Free Press said it "shocked the auto industry," and now it has been named their 2013 Car of the Year.
[h=3]Car of the Year: Cadillac ATS[/h]The ATS sport sedan is a watershed vehicle for Cadillac and a breakthrough that will change the way General Motors develops all its upcoming vehicles.
The engineers who developed the ATS at GM's Warren Tech Center were focused like a laser on the BMW 3-series, the compact that's widely considered the world's best sport sedan.
It was the first time GM had the confidence to tackle the 3-series head on. The CTS that re-established Cadillac as a competitor for the likes of Audi, BMW, Lexus and Mercedes-Benz tried to outflank the 3-series: it was nearly the size of the larger 5-series, but priced like the compact 3-series.
