Cadillac today introduced its 2013 compact sports/luxury sedan, the ATS, prior to its unveiling at the Detroit Auto Show this week, revealing the all-new car designed to compete with such premium compacts as the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class that dominate the segment. With the styling of Cadillac’s new Art and Science credo, the rear-drive sedan boasts the lowest curb weight – 3,400 pounds – of its class along with the choice of three engines, two four-cylinders and a V6. Cadillac says the ATS emphasizes handling finesse for enthusiast drivers, with near 50/50 weight balance and a suspension that includes a five-link independent rear suspension, multi-link double-pivot MacPherson-strut front suspension with direct-acting stabilizer bar, and driver-adjustable FE3 sport suspension with Magnetic Ride Control real-time damping.
