How did you miss all the commericals recently? There are a ton of them in my parking garage right now, and I think they look a lot better than the XTS.

The ATS is Caddy’s 3-series fighter, and from all the reviews and test-drives I’ve read, it’s legit. > **[Dissected: 2013 Cadillac ATS](https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a15121414/dissected-2013-cadillac-ats-feature/)** > > Cadillac's A-Game: Caddy's new small sedan should be light, fast, and fit.

I am very happy to see this thing on a diet. It is surprisingly close to the current cts size and much lighter. The new cts will be larger, closer to the 5 series. XTS is a flop in my book. The CUE is the only redeeming aspect. I am still waiting for the grand RWD big sedan. ---

> [@TrueBlue](#): > > XTS, as I understood it, is for the octogenarian Floridian who mourns the death of the DTS. Agreed, it has FWD and AWD variants. But no V8 and I like the design language more in the ATS. XTS looks like a slapped together stop gap. ---

That was quick…my wife’s ats coupe never fails to put a smile on my face. Not as quick as the range rover but driving it is just fun.
