Thread: ATS läheb kaua oma sihtturul

Tema ei ole salajane General Motors on sõltuvalt Hiina tagada roosiline tulevik Cadillac marki. Siiski ei ole imporditud ATS, kus muljumise välja tagumiste istmetega ja janu turbomootor, lõikamine sinep. Ei ole üllatav, siis selle GM ehitab ATS lokaalselt tulevikus, üks väga oluline muutus.

Carnewschina teatab, et Cadillac ATS ehitatakse Hiinas valik 2 200 hobujõudu. 5L nelja-banger või 3. 6 DI V6. Veelgi olulisem on, vastavalt selle, ahem, Hiina turule unikaalse maitse ja teljevahe on venitatud neli tolli, mistõttu ATS-L.
Sel hetkel oma ahvatlev kirjutada midagi Oh, need hull Hiina ja nende kinnisidee tagaistmel mugavus ja K-turn-nightmare wheelbases eeskujul. Aga mõtlen sellele hetkel. Cadillac traditsioonilise kaubamärgi maine sisaldab avarus, kas pole? Veel iga ühe Cadillac ehitatud kuna RWD Fleetwood kokkukukkumist mingil määral taga piisavalt ruumi. Algne CTS ja teraga-up STS olid katastroofide selles osas; teie alandlik Autor kasutanud iga päev-draivile 06 STS AWD ja Millal ma kohandatud esiistmel, et minu eelistus oleks Touch tagumise alumise padjal. Isegi kuulus DTS ei olnud täpselt S-klass-konkurentsivõimeline taga, tänu oma ühise platvormi. ATS on päris palju nelja uksega 2 + 2, nagu Mazda RX-8. Reguleeri kassatsioonkaebuse mis? Miks ei ole Kõik Cadillacs eile tagasi?
Nüüd, tundub, nagu ka eelmise STS-L ja Buick Park Avenue G8, üldist salvestab oma parimad ideed oma lemmik turu jaoks.

Its not secret that General Motors is depending on China to ensure a rosy future for its Cadillac brand. However, the imported ATS, complete with pinched-off rear seating and thirsty turbocharged engine, isnt cutting the mustard. No surprise, then, that GM will be building the ATS locally in the future, with one very important change.

Carnewschina reports that the Cadillac ATS will be built in China with a choice of the 200-horsepower 2. 5L four-banger or the 3. 6 DI V6. More importantly, to suit the, ahem, unique tastes of the Chinese market, the wheelbase will be stretched four inches, making it an ATS-L.
At this point, its tempting to write something along the lines of Oh, those wacky Chinese and their obsession with rear-seat comfort and K-turn-nightmare wheelbases. But think about it for a moment. The traditional brand image of Cadillac includes spaciousness, doesnt it? Yet every single Cadillac built since the demise of the RWD Fleetwood has been cramped in the back to some extent. The original CTS and edged-up STS were disasters in that regard; your humble author used to daily-drive an 06 STS AWD and when I adjusted the front seat to my preference it would touch the rear lower cushion. Even the famed DTS wasnt exactly S-Class-competitive in back, thanks to its shared platform. The ATS is pretty much a four-door 2+2, like a Mazda RX-8. Wheres the appeal in that? Why arent all Cadillacs spacious and comfortable in back?
For now, it looks like, as with the previous STS-L and the Buick Park Avenue G8, the General is saving its best ideas for its favorite market.
