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 žedan turbocharged engine, nije 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 the suit, 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-nineteen wheelbases. But i think about it for a moment. The traditional brand image of Cadillac includes spaciousness, it doesnt? Yet every single Cadillac built since the smrti of the RWD Fleetwood has been cramped in the back to some extent. The original CTS and edged-up STS were disasters in that obzirom; your skroman 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 mekane. Even the famed DTS wasnt exactly S-Class-competitive in back, thanks to its shared platform. The ATS is pretty much a four-vrata 2+2, like a Mazda RX-8. Wheres the appeal in that? Zašto arena 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.
