ATS-V shot uncovered

I think it looks great. Might be a good alternative for me while waiting for ZCP on the M4 or the Cayman GT4. Especially here in Michigan where American cars lease for super cheap. I wouldn't be surprised to get my hands on this for $700 no cash out of pocket. A c7 can be had for that around here. It's nuts.

Looks too boy racerish to me. That hood vent and god that rear spoiler.

I also hate chrome which I really wish wasn't a design stable of Cadillac V's.

The doors look too short (horizontally).

I like it.
Should use the V6TT I believe making around 450hp. Will be interesting comparing the new C63, M4 and this.

I like the ATS because some of the recent angular designs were somewhat muted. This seems to bring many of those back which is not good.

I liked the old CTSV coupe styling. This just screams afterthought to me. It looks like a car built from scrap, and that is not a good thing, unless it's a Gumpert.

LOL that hood looks terrible. And the whole side is just a shapeless slab like the CTS coupe.

Looks way better than the CTS coupe to me. But they must have used the same people to design the looks. Make the doors longer to fill in the gap where the back to doors were.

To me, the V series need to be a bit shorter and less room in the back for the passengers. That is what a coupe version of a car should be. Not just filling in the space where the back 2 doors were.

Either way, this car is going to be a blast to drive. I hope the pricing isn't going to be crazy but I'm sure it will.

And what chrome? The grille and hood thing? Thats nothing. And the CTS Vs have what chrome? Around the windows? Thats nothing too. Want to talk about chrome, then go look at what trucks have now a days.

Hang a Camaro front and rear treatment on it and you have the next Camaro as well.

I really, really want to like this car... I hope the four door is more appealing. We know this car was tested early on along side the e90 m3, and the base car was tested alongside e46 and e90 sedans. Hopefully that's as evident with the V as the regular car.

Kinda bummed it won't be a V8 but that will differentiate it from the next Camaro ss/z28, unlike the form CTSv/Camaro ZL1.... I'd still happily have a cts v wagon with a stick

The ass looks way too fat for the the front end, to me it just doesn't really look proportional. Maybe it's the angle of the picture.

I'm sure it will be fun to drive, but for what it's going to cost, I can think of a few other cars I'd rather have.

I'm not a fan of Cadillac styling. All of the cars look big, chunky, and unfinished to me.

Like the 2 series coupe, I find the wheels to be too small for the car. It's like it has 13's on it or something. I really don't like all the sharp angles either.

Meh, I guess it's not as bad from that view, but like everyone else has said, it looks like every other car in the line up, with a hood vent and ground effects.

Caddy has come a long way, in my opinion, and I like what they've become, but I just don't see anything special that really gives that wow factor.

Can't get past the large, uninteresting rear quarterpanels.

Same issue on the CTS coupe...couldn't look past it.

Better than CTS-V coupe, but reminds me of an Altima.

I was never a huge fan of their coupes, still am not impressed. I'd stick with the sedan version.

Looks ok, need to see some proper photos. Would rather have the sedan. If I was getting a coupe GM product, I wouldn't look any further than the Stingray.
