ATS 2.0T

Cadillac's offering $3,000 cash back on the ATS, which with the options I chose, makes the final price less than the standard MSRP.

Just a 2.0T Standard, also known as the cheapest ATS you actually want to buy.

Only a couple options, none of which are CUE.

Actually a really good price if you ask me.

Also, I really hope Cadillac updates the gauges when they release the refreshed model, the current ones always looked a little cheap IMO.

That's how I'd get it, awesome.

Well, maybe not those colors.

If they drop touchscreens altogether I'll really be interested in Cadillacs.

I was torn between blue over black or black over tan, I'd really have to see both in person to see which one I'd actually pick.

Wait you can buy it without CUE?

Awesome!!

Oil-rubbed bronze appearance.

Kinja'd!!!

They just need to refine their touch-screens.

Or go to a knob-based system like BMW.

I think the blue, otherwise it's fine.

Only on "base" models.

And I think it's standard across the board on the CTS, XTS, and Escalade.

My friend has a somewhat loaded ATS 2.0.

He has CUE

He is not a fan

But he loves the rest of the car

Black on black

Touch screens are NOT meant for cars. Seriously. There's one in my sister's Civic, and it's the most annoying not user-friendly thing ever. Knobs and buttons are 100x simpler and easier.

Yeah, CUE just needs a bit more refinement and polishing.

"But it's more like an iPhone and easier to use for the customer."

No.

Stop.

Gimmie a knob.

Sending this to Mary Barra, Martin Winterkorn, and Takanobu Ito.

What, didn't expect that in a Cadillac?

It's only available on the 2.0T, sadly.

Brian Silvestro > Vicente Esteve
07/25/2014 at 21:01

I'm sure they'll find my argument detailed and persuasive.

Son of a biscuit. Here's what I want: NO CUE, manual trans, head up display. Just like that. You know, just like how you can't get it. Ugh.

Oh, and get the Opulent Blue Metallic. I want that. Hard.

Vicente Esteve > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
07/25/2014 at 21:08

Haha knew about it, but if I found one in the wild with the stick (Which in Mexico, will be IMPOSSIBLE (Only 1 ATS in the state))

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > Vicente Esteve
07/25/2014 at 21:10

Only one ATS?! Cadillacs not very popular down there?

Vicente Esteve > Brian Silvestro

Brian, they will bloody employ you for your Astounding negotiation skills, and Superior Knowledge of the Automotive Market and its Rises and Falls.

Here's mine. I'll bet they haven't built one spec'd out like this yet. Also, why do I not like any of the wheel options? That's fine, though. These 17" ones would become winter wheels...

Vicente Esteve > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
07/25/2014 at 21:12

Too expensive, and there isn't a dealership in the whole state. I actually know who the owner is. A mother of a VERY spoiled kid that wears $400 Dollar Shoes. The ATS has states from the Capital though.

Wait, the 6-speed manual doesn't cost anything? I thought it was an extra thousand bucks over the automatic.

You're going to regret getting rid of heated seats in about 5 months.

I drive a black over tan S60 and sold cars for a while. I like light leather interiors, but dark interiors age much better.

they dont have AWD on the manual ATS's do they?

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > bob and john
07/28/2014 at 10:54

I don't think...

bob and john > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
07/28/2014 at 10:55

was asking because I thought the ATS were FWD standard, with AWD. NOPE, RWD standard.

ME LIKE
ME WANT

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > bob and john
07/28/2014 at 10:58

Yep, RWD!

The only Cadillacs that are FWD/AWD are the XTS and SRX. Then there's the FWD only ELR.

I seriosuly didnt know.

maybe when I get out of uni and have a bit of money in the bank I'll look for one of these in the used market.

or, for 40k (i'd have mine with all options - auto) this might be something that is financed.....I wonder how the tuning for these motors are...or if you can get the 3,6 with a stick....

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > bob and john
07/28/2014 at 11:04

Sadly, the stick is only available on the 2.0T motor with RWD.

Buuut, I'm pretty sure there's a decent aftermarket for that 2.0T engine.

bob and john > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
07/28/2014 at 11:07

ohhh, sweeeeettttt.

I am liking CAddies new stuff, i kinda wish they could do something like the CTS face with the "edge" DRL's (as i call them) on the ATS. then i'd defintaly be looking for one.

I feel like on higher trim levels they do.
