Cadillac’s CTS sedan, coupe and wagon range, as well as their enhanced V counterparts, have brought Cadillac up to BMW’s level.  The CTS-V has even bested cars well above its pay grade.  While the CTS was created to contend with BMW’s 5-Series sedan, Cadillac needed to do something about BMW’s volume-seller: The 3-Series.  Enter the Cadillac ATS, announced at this year’s Detroit auto show.  Combining rear-wheel drive, a sporting demeanor and an inviting interior, BMW just may have a fight on its hands.  Continue reading to see plenty of pictures and my breakdown of the upcoming 2013 Cadillac ATS.

Chrysler announces the American-Bound Fiat 500

Published on September 20, 2010 in Hot Car - Upcoming. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , .

Ever since Fiat took control of Chrysler, we knew this day would arrive.  The questions, however, were many.  How much would change between the European Fiat 500 and the American version?  Will it sell?  What will it look like?  Where will they sell it?  Well, today I have answers for a few of those questions.  First, there will be around 600 dealers appointed by Chrysler to sell Fiats.  Second, the first Fiat to hit our shores, the 500 Sport, will look like the photo above and the pictures found after the jump.  Third, as to whether or not it will sell, that depends upon pricing and American mindsets when it reaches us later this year, but I think it’ll be fairly popular with the city crowd as a much better alternative to the Smart ForTwo.
